Sure. Even if you don't like any of the games (although you'll probably like Crackdown or Perfect Dark Zero) you could get some achievements or just ebay them away.
Dark Sector sells for $10 new, Perfect Dark Zero sells for about $8 used and Crackdown sells for about $15 used...so it's not that great of a deal. I would rather buy the console by itself for $300 and then The Orange Box, or Burnout Paradise for $20.
I say go for it. Odds are you won't find a better deal anywhere else. $30 off and with 3 bonus games? Sweet. Crackdown is pretty darn cool. Definitely a neat idea, I can't wait to see them build upon it for the sequel.
EDIT: It has been brought to my attention that the 60GB 360 is actually only $300 now, so I've had to change my mind. My new verdict is a few posts down.

I play the Orange Box on PC already, and I'm still not sure I want Burnout Paradise. I love Burnout 3: Takedown, but I'm not a fan of "open world" racing like Midnight Club 1 & 2.

$30 off? I thought the going price for a Pro system is $299.99.
You guys know 5 games are included in this bundle, and all of them are valued at least $15 each? Well, maybe not PDZ, but the rest are. How much you could buy them new, I should say. Indiana Jones is in the $45 - $50 range, too. Sounds like a good deal in my opinion? I mean fuck, unless I'm reading this wrong:
Microsoft Xbox 360 Pro Console 60GB
Lego Indiana Jones : The Original Adventures
Kung Fu Panda
Crackdown
Dark Sector
Perfect Dark Zero
Great deal in my opinion, trade in the games you don't want. And yes, 60GB 360 sells for $300.
Dude, you're right. I forgot the 60GB Pro dropped to $300. In that case, I might have to take back what I said. Let's reconsider... Kung Fu Panda and Lego Indiana Jones were being bundled with the console for free. Crackdown goes for like $30 new, PDZ is $20 new, and Dark Sector is $10 new. Considering that Dark Sector isn't supposed to be that good and PDZ is considered to be seriously dated already, maybe it's not such a fine deal after all. Keep looking dude.

Every single Pro bundle comes with Lego Indiana Jones and Kung Fu Panda...that's not part of this "deal". The 3 extra games aren't that great for the extra $20 and they're not what I would call a "deal".

Being "dated" doesn't bother me, as I'm still buying games for my PS2 that I never got around to getting before.
Just because a game isn't considered that good doesn't mean I won't enjoy it. For example, Oni is a favorite of mine. I tend to buy a lot of games that are even remotely interesting to me, if the price is low enough. I can't really go by what gets good reviews anymore. I won't know until I've actually played it. I've GTA III & Vice City, FF VII & VIII & IX & X, MGS 1 & 2 & 3, and haven't been compelled to finish a single one of them, so I don't buy those series anymore.
