Despite the picture, there are rumors of a WIRELESS headset being included instead of a wired one.

I love the "Games of the Year!" seal on there. Isn't that a singualr award? If not, aren't all the games released last year technically "games of the year"?

That's too bad. The official MS wireless headset is terrible. Every person I know who bought the wireless one went back to the wired version a few months later. Every single one.

Prog, Halo was GotY 07, Fable was (apparently) GotY 08 if were going to go by some kind of rationale.

Huh, I probably should have known that...
I didn't realize fable 2 won any GOTY awards, but google turned up X-Play.

That's a hell of a deal right there for anyone late to hop the live bandwagon, what would make it killer is if they gave you a full year of live in addition to the wireless headset.
Fable 2 will last a solid 10 to 12 hours, Halo will last 10 + multiplayer, casual gamers could be set with this bundle for months if they can get into Halo 3.

Amazing deal, though I think the bundle is because the Elite was probably going to have a pricedrop soon and they decided to follow Sony's tactic. Maybe Sony started to push more systems with the pack in game idea which gave Microsoft the idea to do the same.
PS3 with Motorstorm and Resistance Fall of Man
XBOX360 with Fable 2 and Halo 3
While none of the games interest me much as first party titles, I'd prefer Halo 3 over Resistance, so that right there is the better deal to me.
The only reason to buy one system or another is because of the first party titles as every new third party is going to be a delayed multiconsole title or is going to be multiconsole. Pick whichever as the bundles on both systems actually make the amount seem worth it.
