Microsoft has all sorts of Xbox 360 bundles for the holidays, but perhaps none so sweet as the most recently revealed. Like Europe and Canada, the US will indeed see the release of a special (and seasonal) 250GB Xbox 360 S bundle that packs in a downloadable token for Remedy's super atmospheric shooter Alan Wake and super simulation racer Forza Motorsport 3. The price? An agreeable $300.
 

No Caption Provided

Unfortunately, there's no firm release date for this bundle. Major Nelson points out, though, that it will see a wide release within the next few weeks. So, keep checking those shelves, brave holiday gifters.

This latest bundle will join the similarly priced 4GB Xbox 360 S/Kinect bundle, which hits shelves this November 4. It will also, presumably, be stacked alongside the 250GB Xbox 360 S Halo: Reach Bundle ($360), as well as the much older (and far less trendier) Final Fantasy XIII Xbox 360 Elite bundle ($350).

Hmm, I have an Arcade and Pro and I was thinking about getting a wireless adapter for them.  Maybe I'll just get a new one instead.

Should start seeing it on store shelves in the US by next week. 
 
Also, is this the first time that a Holiday Bundle included an M-rated game?

Damn, I just got a new one a few weeks ago. Ah well, I can live without these games. I'm still happy with the slim, my old one sounded like a friggin' jet engine and was on its last legs.

Isn't it only an Alan Wake DLC token, not the full game? Or is it a code for the full game?

I'd rather have a disc for Alan Wake, especially since it is supposed to come with that DLC voucher.

I haven't seen those in a while, I'm guessing they were replaced by the Xbox slims.

Alan Wake Collector's Edition, and all it entails, is 60 bucks on Amazon.

We've had it for a while now in Switzerland for only 300 Swiss bucks. Normally, that would be even a greater steal, but given the weak dollar, I don't know. Anyway, passed on it for now, xmas can surely do better still. I remember even off-season, MS had a bundle with 4 games (2 of which were good, the other 2 were Lego and Madagascar, I believe).

I hope Sony does something like this... like maybe both Uncharted games + a 160gb Slim for $300?

The wrong game is done as a download card. 
 
Forza is the long-term game that would be best-served sitting on a hard drive. 
 
Alan Wake seems like a play-it-and-delete-it sort of game.

I do need a new Xbox, but I already have Forza... and don't really play it. I tried to get into it, but I don't think Sim Racing games are for me- I find them kinda boring.

Don't feel bad, that's definitely not a crazy assumption to make! I'd already played through two-thirds of the game under the assumption it was M-rated before realizing it was T. It sure as hell doesn't feel like it should have the same ESRB rating as Super Smash Bros, but I think that just speaks to Remedy's ability to effectively craft a spooky atmosphere without being outright violent or gorey.

They also had a Splinter cell and Call of Duty Xbox. Plus the 4GB isn't the only one getting bundled with Kinect. It'll be bundled with the 250GB on the 4th as well.

I will probably be purchasing, and I'll sell off my copy of Forza to a friend or something. Doubt I would spend much time with it.

I loved Alan Wake. The story and some of those set pieces more than made up for the slightly dodgy game play.   
  
The best bits were:

I hear Harry Potter and Indy 2 were pretty great again, but before that, the Lego games kinda stalled and playing Indy, Lego Batman and Lego Star Wars, they're pretty much identical and kept in all the crap. Don't get me wrong, they're fine games, just not outstanding or even remarkable.

Now that's a nice deal.
 
I say that and yet I'm not going to get it because it would end up gathering dust in the corner because deep down I'm a PC guy.

I just upgraded my launch 360 to the new 360S. It's so nice to have so much space, HDMI and it's quiet.

@UncertainOtter:  Direct your eyes to the lower left corner of the image of Alan Wake you will see a small black "T", a "T" that is commonly associated with the ESRB's Teen rating on their "E-M" rating scale.
