Xbox 360 250GB bundle includes five games in Canada for $299
by Andrew Yoon, Aug 24, 2011 1:45pm PDTMicrosoft will be releasing a new Xbox 360 bundle in Canada tomorrow. The 250GB system will include five downloadable games for free: Alan Wake, Gears of War 2, Halo 3, Fable 3, and Halo Wars. The bundle will be available for $299.99.
That's a sizable value, although users will have to allocate up to 30GB of space in order to store all five retail games.
The deal was first spotted by Darren Christie (via Joystiq). However, Shacknews has learned that the bundle will be available for a "limited time only" and is currently exclusive to Canada.
“Starting this week Canadians looking for great value on an Xbox 360 can find a bundle that includes a 250GB Xbox 360 console plus download codes for 5 full games all for $299.99 CDN ERP. If you don’t already own an Xbox 360, this is a great way to jump in with an amazing collection of games to start your library.”
In addition, this is not the "holiday bundle" -- Microsoft will be releasing more information about an alternate SKU later in the year. Still, it's an excellent deal for those who have yet to "Jump In," and don't necessarily want to become the controller.

Also if you weren't paying attention Cortana was only a fragment from her whole self being used to integrate data from the forerunners. Halsey could have still ended up in that giant cave since she went one way and the Spartan team went the other.
With all said, the Reach campaign ties in very well to the start of Halo: CE. Much like how ODST sets up for the start of Halo 3.
Halo side stories are a ton more interesting than the main stuff too. Like the live action shorts made for Halo 3, they set up the beginning of Halo 3 as well.
