Microsoft just pulled back the curtain on a brand-new bundle exclusively for our brothers and sisters to the north. Aside from a 250GB Xbox 360 Elite console, the bundle also includes a double dose of Bungie goodness: Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST.
Starting today, you can get your maple syrup-soaked hands on this for a suggested retail price of $399.99 CAD. If you’re a US gamer wondering why we didn’t get this piece of gear down here, relax — let Canada win this one! You have any idea how many driveways a Canadian has to shovel to earn this thing?

Game Watch has posted an image of the full contents of the Japanese Tales of Graces bundle, revealing … that it’s pretty much the least remarkable Wii bundle yet. The included Wii hardware is the plain white model, and the Classic Controller Pro (also white) doesn’t have any fancy design on it. It’s just a Wii, and a Classic Controller Pro, and the game. In a box. The box looks pretty cool, we suppose. And it’s not like we have the Classic Controller Pro here at all.
New screens show off the rather silly swimsuit costumes that can be equipped in-game, including a delightful Speedo and life vest outfit for Malik. More dignified: a costume based on a stage outfit worn by singer BoA, available as a bonus with a “Tales of Graces Edition” release of BoA’s single “Mamoritai ~ White Wishes ~.”

Much like a dude-seeking missile dropped from an overhead predator drone, Modern Warfare 2 sales plummeted in the UK after the game’s first day of availability. As you already know, the game moved 1.23 million copies on its launch day — however, according to Chart Track’s calculations, it finished off the week with a paltry 1.78 million units (for £67.4 million) sold. With pathetic figures like that, you know Activision’s got to be feeling disappointed.
Other UK chart staples (Wii Fit Plus, Wii Sports Resort, FIFA 10) all maintained their top 10 ranking this week — though the list had two unfamiliar visitors who vaulted to the top of the charts on the back of a new 360 bundle: Lego Batman (which jumped from 14th place to 7th) and Pure (which sprung from 23rd place to 9th). That’s quite a comeback for these two titles, though perhaps they would have fared even better had they been bundled with copies of Modern Warfare 2 instead.

Under PSP
Further proving that digital distribution is the new name of its game … distribution method, Sony will begin selling a new PSP-3000 bundle in Japan on December 3 which includes no extra UMDs, but rather, a 4GB memory stick. An empty 4GB memory stick, upon which video games, once purchased, can be placed.
Though it somewhat defeats the pick-up-and-play accessibility of other game-infused bundles, at a price point of 19,800 yen, it should leave enough in Japanese gamers’ pocketbooks to make a few PSN purchases.

VideoGamer.com is reporting that a supplement in this week’s issue of
MCV is advertising two new Xbox 360 Elite bundles. Both bundles are themed around recent movie releases, specifically
Star Trek and
Transformers 2. The
Star Trek bundle comes with an extra controller, a copy of J.J. Abrams’
Star Trek stored on a USB drive — shaped like the Star Fleet logo — as well as 800
with which to buy “
Star Trek PDLC.” Let’s just hope you don’t
have to waste those points on
Star Trek D-A-C. A
Transformers 2 bundle is in the works as well, featuring an extra controller, a copy of the movie on a Bumblebee-shaped USB drive and the
Transformers 2 game.
Release date, pricing, and the size of the included hard drive (120GB or “Super Elite” 250GB) are not specified in the ad. However, as MCV is a UK magazine, it’s possible these are only destined for that region. We’d be hard-pressed to tell potential buyers which one bundle is the better but, but we will say that only one of them goes where no one has gone before. And the other one is Transformers.

We’ve got some welcome news for European readers who somehow don’t already own a Wii — or for those of you who already have one, but just can’t resist the temptation of the new black model. Amazon.uk has opened pre-orders for the new Wii Sports Resort bundle, which includes a Wiimote, a Nunchuk and a MotionPlus all dressed in black, along with both Wii Sports games. The bundle will ship on November 6 and is available on additional Amazon branches, as well; though the release dates for other European territories is November 20.
The UK pre-order price is even discounted a bit to £164.99 (roughly $270) — the same bundle in boring old white normally retails for £179.99. (The black and white bundles are priced the same, at €209.99, elsewhere in Europe.) The white bundle, however, includes your choice of two additional games — a small sacrifice for that spooky black coating, we say.
As for you importers, we suppose this could be the ideal time to pursue a PAL model, if you simply can’t wait for the black system to be announced for North America. Then again, in doing so, you’ll also have to import all of your games. Patience.

Seems like everyone has to get in on the Elite bundle action these days. Game Watch reports that a new Xbox 360 Elite bundle is headed to Japan, with both Lost Planet: Colonies and Ace Combat 6 baked right in. it also comes packed with the normal Elite goodies — headset, wireless controller and (incredibly flexible) composite cables. Unfortunately, the bundle fails to meet super Elite status, as it contains only a paltry 120GB hard drive.
Still, at ¥29,980 (~$330), it’s not a bad deal. The bundle goes on sale in Japan starting October 29.

Nintendo UK will release the black Wii system on November 6, as part of a limited edition bundle including matching Wii Remote, Nunchuk, and MotionPlus peripherals, and both Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort. This bundle will be available elsewhere in Europe on November 20.
Along with the black bundle, Nintendo is releasing the black Classic Controller Pro accessory. No price has been announced for any of these items. Nintendo of America has yet to announce any plans to release any of these items — in fact, it has announced that there are no plans. But, really, it’s waiting until every holdout gets impatient and buys a white system.
