Two new Xbox-360-related bundles are arriving for the upcoming holidays. And while the Elite will continue going for $300, the Xbox 360 controller bundle balloons the peripheral to $60.

Predicted by Ars, the Xbox 360 Elite Holiday Bundle includes a 360 Elite, Lego Batman: The Videogame and Pure. It's available now for $299.

Meanwhile, for those just looking to score a controller and some games, the $60 Xbox 360 Wireless Controller Game Pack includes a wireless black controller and Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved, Lumines LIVE!, Bomberman LIVE! and Ms Pac-Man. We're feeling too lazy to look up the price of each title and convert from MS points, but given that a controller only runs about $35, this bundle sounds like a bit of an upsell if you're not going to play each and every title. Also, Jason Chen will just top your Geometry Wars scores, so don't even bother.

Hello:

The Elite bundle is a good one. Both games are superb and must have for many. But I have to disagrre a bit with the controller bundle. Here in Puerto Rico, most stores charge a $65 for the MS wireless controller. 4 XBLA games plus the controller for $60 is a good deal in my country.

Yeah me too most MS controllers where I live is around $50 for the controllers without the Rechargeable battery's. If this one has the rechargeable battery's that's a good deal. Plus the XBLA games if I didn't have 4 controllers already I would be getting this.
