Joystiq is reporting that Amazon Germany is offering a preorder Xbox 360 bundle with a gigantic 250 GB hard drive, bundled with Forza Motorsport 3 for 280 euros ($379) along with two wireless controllers.
Um, what?
On the subject of new Xbox bundles, Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg told usin an interview yesterday that, “I’m sure there will be different offers depending on where you go and what time of the year it is.”
This would be one mighty big bundle.
[UPDATE: The bundle has been spotted in South Africa too, under the moniker "the Super Elite".]

The good news is that when they release a new unit with a larger HD they also make the HD available separately for the rest of us. I’d really like a 250 GB drive for my 360.
Problem is they also horrifically over-price them compared to PC drives. $100 for 60 GB ($1.66/GB)? $150 for 120 GB ($1.25/GB)?
At that rate a 250 GB drive would probably be $250 or $1/GB.
Crazy. You can get 1 TB(!) drives for the PC for less than $100 these days, and that’s RETAIL! Buying in bulk from wholesalers MS should be able to deliver TB size drives for the prices they’re charging.
