Ah, the holidays. The most wonderful time of the year for those who make consumer goods. Microsoft has detailed their official holiday bundle for the Xbox 360 this year. Unfortunately, if you’re looking for Kinect, you’ll have to look elsewhere, but this plain holiday still bundle still packs a punch, including two Triple-A games.

The bundle includes the new Xbox 360 S “Slim” in it’s sleek black, along with the new 250GB hard drive capacity. As for the games, it’s including the old Xbox 360 standby pack-in, Forza 3. What’s new is that it also includes a code to download a digital copy of Microsoft’s Alan Wake horror/action game. What’s interesting is that Alan Wake is not a “Games On Demand” title, but it should be in the future, if Microsoft is going to distribute it digitally.
It’s worth noting that there are quite a few people out there who still don’t have internet or don’t connect their consoles to the internet (or, according to a chap in my local GameStop most people don’t. Sort of doubt him, though). These people will be missing out on one of their pack-in games, so bummer for them.
This bundle is still unconfirmed for North America, though. Via tips from insiders, it’s been “confirmed” for South Korea (₩398,000 or $359) and Europe (€250 or $350). If you’re hoping for a North American release, the above artwork is from a Canadian Microsoft distributor, according to gaming blog Joystiq, giving all of us hope for a North American release.
