$400 Xbox 360 Game of the Year Bundle Confirmed
The rumors were right. Microsoft is releasing a "Game Of The Year Bundle" including the Xbox 360 Elite, Halo 3 and Fable 2 for $400—the same price of the standalone Elite console. It's not an AMAZING deal, but if you're looking to "jump in" to the Xbox 360, these are games you'll want to play anyway. The bundle should be available anytime between now and soon. [Major Nelson] -

Dealzmodo: Free $60 Gift Card With Xbox 360 Elite at Amazon
Following Microsoft's solid price cuts on the Xbox 360, this is a sweetass deal: At Amazon, if you buy an Xbox 360 Elite, you'll get a free $60 gift card. The only catch is that you have to buy the 360 from Amazon.com, and not one of their third-party merchants. It'll get emailed to you by Sept. 30 with the info about redeeming it. That's a free game or like half-way to a Gears of War 2 Lancer to faux grind your little brother into kibbles 'n' bits. [Amazon via Bargainist] -

Xbox 360 Price Cuts: $50 off Premium, $20 off Core, $30 off Elite
New information on the Xbox 360 price drop detailed in the Toys 'R Us and Wal-Mart ads this weekend. Circuit City is bringing out a full two-page layout with price cuts of $50 for the Premium, $30 for the Elite, and $20 for the Core. Yes, this means all those rumors of the Core getting canned are probably false. So you're looking at a final price lineup of $279, $349 and $449 if you pick up an Xbox 360 starting August 12.

Microsoft Adding Extra GPU Cooling to Retail Xbox 360 Elites
Apparently Microsoft has started adding extra GPU cooling to new retail Xbox 360 elites in order to stave off overheating problems (and the three red lights) the units may be having. These added heatsinks were only previously found in refurbished Xbox 360s in Europe, which meant we were pretty much SOL. Ben Heck dismantled a new Xbox 360 and found a new heat pipe and new materials, but still thought that the cooling was a bit weak because there are no fans directly on any of the components.

Xbox 360 Elite on Sale Today
Just a quick note reminding you that the Xbox 360 Elite is on sale today from EBGames and Gamestop. They have them in stores, but technically their website should have them as well (even though there's still a message telling you to check back April 29).

Fully Tested: The Xbox 360 Elite's HDMI Video is the Best
When the Elite showed up earlier today, I decided to cut to the chase and test the only thing that matters on it: the HDMI output. It's not a new console. Almost everything about the Xbox 360 in white stands true for the Elite: It theoretically doesn't run cooler, or quieter, or faster, and you've already seen the beauty shots, videos, guttings, and more weeks ago.

Xbox 360 Elite Sliced and Gutted for the First Time
It's barely had any time to sit on store shelves and yet Microsoft's new Xbox 360 Elite has already been sliced open for the world to see. Unfortunately, the delicate surgeons who gutted the system couldn't confirm if the new 360 is packing an updated 65nm core or not. A 65nm core would mean the machine would run cooler and consume less power than the current 90nm core. Otherwise take a peek at the system's new hard drive, DVD drive, and sexy HDMI slot. More » -
