Amazon is kicking off the final week's countdown to Black Friday with a fairly good Xbox 360 deal. Kicking off early this morning, if you buy the Xbox 360 Elite Holiday bundle, you get a free copy of Square Enix' The Last Remnant and 4,000 Microsoft points.

That means for $400 you're getting an Xbox 360 with a 120 GB hard drive, copies of LEGO Indiana Jones (yay), Kung Fu Panda (boo), and The Last Remnant (yay, I think) as well as about $50 in Microsoft points. That's what we in the biz like to call a hell of a deal. You'll have to enter the promotion code XBOXDEAL during checkout and supplies are limited for the day-long deal.

360 - Kung Fu Panda - More from Activision's conference call: New CoD, James Bond game

Here are some more highlights from Activision's conference call with financial analysts earlier today:

- As expected a new Call of Duty game is due for release in the 2009 fiscal year (again most likely this fall). No other details were revealed except that PS2 and Wii platforms will join the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC platforms for the next game in the shooter series.

- As usual for Activision, the company will not release any new games for the current fiscal quarter that ends on March 31. The next quarter will see the release of the game based on Dreamworks's CGI movie Kung Fu Panda along with more downloadable content for Guitar Hero III and Call of Duty 4. The company will also release games later in the year based on another Dreamworks CGI movie Madagascar II.

- The James Bond game is still due for release this fall, around the time of the new movie's release. No other details on the game were announced.
