From the press release:
[QUOTE]
Microsoft today firmly positioned Xbox 360 as the best value gaming gift this Christmas with the announcement of two incredible bundle deals allowing gamers of all budgets to enjoy the world's most powerful games console.

Offering savings of $100 off the RRP, the Xbox 360 Massive Entertainment Pack is crammed with everything you need to jump into the next generation of gaming. Containing the Xbox 360 wireless video game and entertainment system, an additional wireless controller, plus two great next-generation games: Project Gotham Racing 3 and Dead or Alive 4, it makes for an ideal gift for gaming enthusiasts.

If that's not enough, for a limited time you can also purchase the next-generation Xbox 360 Family Fun Pack and receive a bonus free game. Featuring the Xbox 360 Core Console, Xbox 360 controller and Kameo: Elements of Power, the Family Fun Pack is the perfect gift for the budget-conscious family. The Xbox 360 Family Settings also allow parents to fully customise the type of content their children can access, putting online safety first at all times.

The Xbox 360 Massive Entertainment Pack is available now for RRP $769.95 and the Xbox 360 Family Fun Pack is available from 16 November for RRP $499.95.

the only good thing in the "deal" is the extra controller. I am very happy with my $399 premium purchase.

Remember this is in Australia and the prices listed are in Australian currency which is worth considerably less then the USD.

Pretty good deals if you ask me.
Here's the conversions for Euro and Pound.

$769.95 AUD = 308.99 GBP = 459.36 EUR

$499.95 AUD = 200.63 GBP = 298.27 EUR

it would be nice if that pack reached the europe at 460€, but i'm guessing it'll be 500€ at least...

It actually works out a bit better for us aussies than that, our minmum wage is higher but that's a side issue. The main thing that sweetens the deal other than the currency conversion you have done there is that our store prices always include tax, and that we always get 12 months warranty as standard.

Damn, I knew I bought mine about 1 month to soon.
Premium pack $650 AUD RRP, so for 2 games that each retail for over $80 each and a wireless controller that is also $80 AUD.
so for $110 AUD to "save $130". it is a good pack.
