Just in case the 500 or so Xbox 360 SKUs weren't sufficient, a "mole" has tipped off Ars Technica that a dedicated Halo Reach bundle - consisting of a 250GB Xbox 360, the game, and two wireless controllers - is in the works.

The hardware will be coloured silver, and follow the new Xbox 360 slimmed down form factor.

We'd be surprised if this isn't true, as Ars Technica's sources are usually on the money. Given the reaction to Halo: Reach hasn't been earth shattering, we'd imagine this is the first step in a concerted plan to yank the game up people's 'most wanted' lists.
