In late August, Microsoft officially cut the price of the 120GB Xbox 360 console to $299 USD, but according to Electronista, the large Canadian retailer Future Shop has begun selling the Elite Value Bundle for the same price (330 CAD=300 USD), marking an aggressive push on the unit.

The Value Bundle includes the console, a Wireless Network Adapter (to connect to Wi-Fi) and the game Halo 3. Online buyers also get the game Battlefield: Bad Company, for free. All together, purchasers will get the console and over $120 worth of extras ($70 for adapter, $50 for the games).

Saw this in last weeks fliers, thought to myself not bad, then flipped the page and checked out if any 4" car speakers were on sale yet.

If they drop the price on that wireless adapter I might pick one up again. Had to return it years ago because it was way too slow. Hope they release one that supports 802.11n soon.
