Halo 3 hardware bundle planned for Christmas?

Hot on the heels of the confirmation that Microsoft will be releasing a

new Elite 360 bundle

including Forza Motorsport 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance in North America, claims have emerged that a new Halo 3 bundle is on its way to Europe.

Eurogamer reports that a posting on the GAME Portugal site lists the console as being shortly available for €409.96, and that this was quickly followed by photos on a Spanish forum that claimed to picture the bundle and its contents.

Although Microsoft has already launched a Limited Edition Halo 3 themed Xbox 360 console, this would be the first hardware bundle to include the game.
