Xbox 360 Elite with Forza and ODST $299 on Amazon

Holy crap, Batman – this is the deal of the month, for sure. Starting next week, Amazon will be offering an Elite Xbox 360 with two absolutely stellar games – hardcore racer Forza 3 and highly acclaimed FPS Halo: ODST. The price? A cool $299. You can pre-order now for the bundle’s March 9, 2010 launch.

This is an amazing deal, folks, so if you’re in the market for a 360, this really isn’t a bad way to jump in. The elite console is the top-of-the-line 360, and usually goes for $300 – you’re getting two legitimately awesome games with it, which is always nice.

As 1Up notes, it’ll be accompanied by a Final Fantasy XIII Elite bundle (which will go for $399, and also launch on March 9th). A word to the wise – if you’re looking for a 360 – and if you’re interested in Final Fantasy, go with the cheaper bundle and just get XIII separately.
