There are currently 4 elite bundles out right now, though really only 2 are the best. These are the Forza 3 and Halo 3 ODST bundle. The other good bundle is the elite with Pure, Lego Batman, Prince of persia 2, fable 2 and assassin's creed. I looked up the prices and com,pared. They both seem to be the same price. I don't know which one to buy. I probably wont play lego batman, and likely wont play pure either. So it is basically. Assassin's creed, fable 2 and Prince of persia 2 vs Forza 3 motorsport and Halo 3 ODST. I think equivalently of these games so I cannot decide.A WHAT DO YOU THINK?>>?

Here's my opinion on the games:
Pure - Really fun ATV game, can get a bit frustrating at some of the events closer to the end.
Lego Batman & POP2 - Never played
Fable II - Really fun RPG, a lot of variety and quite a large chunk of DLC available
AC1 - Fun for some, boring & mundane for most; I was in the minority. Interesting story but the mission structure makes it somewhat hard to get through.
ODST - Halo 3 gameplay with some dynamics changed, if you enjoyed Halo 3, you'll likely enjoy this one
Forza 3 - Easily the best racing game available on the consoles (I'm a car freak and I loved it, one achievement required a combined 136hours of racing against AI). It's realistic, but very accessible due to a variety of options that are available to scale the difficulty.
Personally, and I may be biased, but I love Halo games and the Forza series, so I'd pick up the latter. The latter could be considered more of a "hardcore" gamer's choice, while the former will give you a wide range of games to play. It's your choice in the end.

Or you could always go for one of the Arcades which are on sale this week for $129. A steal if I may say so... I even picked on up for myself.

It's more of what you really want to play at the time of purcahse and that's where a lot of people don't consider the Super Elites (Modern Warfare 2 & the Final Fantasy XIII bundles).
Sure you may see a greater value off the bat going with one that currently includes a few bonus, but consider if you need a second controller or if you plan to buy either Modern Warfare or Final Fantasy XIII for that $100 difference, you're saving $20 instantly (off regular prices separate) and getting a huge 250GB harddrive (exclusive to the Super Elites) and a special edition console (The MW2 bundle has a special design on it and the FFXIII bundle came with a faceplate on preorder).
If those games and extra controllers don't do it for you, then your best option would be to take a hard look at the games included free with the consoles right now. Forza 3 is an excellent racing game and Halo ODST (I'm sure you know by now if you like the Halo games or not) or Assassin's Creed, Street Fighter IV and Fable 2-- which are all great games, but more for the fans of action, adventure and role playing games.
My personal advice? If within the next month, you planned on wanting to play either Forza 3 or Halo ODST (just one) then go for the Spring Holiday bundle. If neither of those are up your alley or if you're not sure you'd like Forza or Halo, then go with the wide variety that is offered from the five games included with the Holiday Bundle.
Whichever bundle you pick up, I'd say you win as they're all great values.
Enjoy!
