Redmond, WA - March 9, 2010 - Today, Microsoft is shipping the new Xbox 360 Elite Spring Bundle, which offers more value than ever this spring.

Developed exclusively for Xbox 360 by acclaimed developer Bungie, “Halo 3: ODST” lets players experience the fateful events leading up to the epic story told in “Halo 3” through the eyes of an ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper), as well as play the new “Firefight” cooperative multiplayer mode. Additionally, “Halo 3: ODST” contains the complete “Halo 3” multiplayer experience on a separate game disc, including all 24 multiplayer maps. As an added bonus, the “Halo 3: ODST” game disc grants access to the upcoming “Halo: Reach” multiplayer beta on Xbox LIVE, which begins May 3. Anyone who purchases the Xbox 360 Elite Spring Bundle will have the opportunity to join in this highly anticipated beta test on Xbox LIVE and experience a sampling of the multiplayer modes in “Halo: Reach,” which launches this fall.
The highest-rated racing game of this console generation, “Forza Motorsport 3” makes it possible for everyone to experience the thrill of the world’s most exotic and exquisite cars. Live the most realistic racing experience ever as you take the wheel of more than 400 of the most beloved cars on over 100 renowned real-world tracks and exotic road courses from around the globe. The “Forza Motorsport” online community is also alive and thriving, as players compete on Xbox LIVE, sell and swap their custom Liveries and tuning set-ups via their personalized Storefronts and the Auction House, and share videos, photos and paint designs with friends. And with new Game Add-ons releasing every month, this award-winning driving experience is only getting better in 2010.
