Microsoft launches holiday Elite bundle for US Microsoft has announced the launch of a new "Holiday" bundle for the Xbox 360 in the United States.
The Elite Holiday Bundle will retail for $299 USD and will include the games "LEGO Batman" and "Pure."

The bundle will include the console, a wireless controller, headset but no HDMI cable. It will also include only the 120GB HDD, not the "super" 250GB models.

Be reminded Microsoft is still offering a $50 USD rebate to Elite buyers meaning the bundle will be even cheaper.

There's nothing new in the bundle, other than it's cheaper. They could have included the new Wireless-N adapter & the larger HDD.

Not bad for 299.00,back when the 360 first came out i paid 399.00 for mine with no game and a 20gig hdd plus you get the 50.00 back from M$S.This is a really good deal for new 360 owners or PS3 owners looking to own both.

Sorry but Lego Batman is a lot of fun, and Pure looks amazing I've played both on my PS3. This is a decent bundle for a 360, the system is good and the games are fun.

Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect
We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing.

We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
