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.

Rumored, pictured, and now shipping to retail, the 2009 edition of the Xbox 360 Elite Holiday Bundle ($300) includes a pair of family-friendly titles from last year in Lego Batman and Pure. But, well, you knew that. (Protip: Grab and stash this before October 5 to be eligible for the $50 rebate.)
Also announced today, the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller Game Pack will go on sale in November for $60. The black gamepad and bundle of XBLA titles is so close to perfect with Geometry Wars 2, Lumines Live, Bomberman Live and … a code for Ms. Pac-Man? Make that a Pac-Man: Championship Edition token and we’d be looking at one of the best gifts you could have given this holiday — ’cause let’s face it, you (should) already own those games.
Oh, and still no official word on that popcorn box o’ peripherals.

Click to jump in!Joystiq has obtained official box art for an apparent Xbox 360 peripheral bundle. Diving a hand into the “popcorn” box (warning: contents inedible), one looks to pull out the following:
- (1) Mini Universal Media Remote (the original Pro pack-in!)
- (1) Wireless Network Adapter (apparently not the 802.11n version)
- (1) Xbox Live 3-Month Gold Card
- (1) 800 Microsoft Points Card
- (0) No actual popcorn
While pricing and release details have yet to surface (though box art has been created for various European territories), we expect this package of dusty inventory — hey, it’s called “flexibility” people! — to coincide with the release of the remote-less, WiFi-less Elite Holiday Bundle in the coming months.

While our mole may not be as prolific or mysterious as some others’ we do have an inside man/woman who sent us these images of the rumored Xbox 360 Elite Holiday 2009 Bundle. With the inclusion of Pure and Lego Batman the bundle certainly looks legit, and we think it’s a safe bet this is what you’ll be seeing on shelves this holiday season.
Also: “It’s More Fun Time on Xbox 360″ is a very bad slogan. That is all.

We hope at this point we don’t have to sell you on the validity of Ars Technica’s mole. Whoever the guy/girl is, their track record is fantastic, after correctly predicting everything from the Resident Evil 5 360 bundle to the price cuts the 360 and PS3 just enjoyed. Now, the mole says that Microsoft will be sweetening the deal this holiday season, packing Pure and Lego Batman in with the Xbox 360 Elite.
The mole went on to claim that the 802.11n adapter Microsoft has confirmed will debut for $100, while the 802.11g will drop to $79.99. … Yikes, $20 off a device that should cost $20 in the first place? If true, it’s pretty darn cold.
