Best thing about it:

WHISPER QUIET

Can't even tell you how much more quiet it is than my other 360.

 

[Kydd BlaZe]

meh...

What type of dvd-drive are they using now?

 

[HomShaBom]

Hideos

Did we really need another thread showing off this abomination?

idle or ingame?

 

[JB1981]

how many of you are fapping at this very moment? don't lie

 

[Diablohead]

Ok im going to say again that I like it.

I got a mate who is getting one of these free, damn I knew I should have gone worked at gamestation instead of doing more university :lol

 

[ice cream]

That controller and headset ...
*pukes*

[TrueReligion]

It really doesn't look that bad. The promotional pictures make it look like shit, though.

 

[Aleman]

If it was $349 I'd buy it instead of another Premium. The paint job isn't worth $50 to me.

 

[Maxwell House]

It's selling pretty well at Amazon.com, which I'm surprised by. Maybe many of the people who were waiting for Halo 3 before getting a 360 are buying the Halo LE version?

It seems likely.

 

[Mejilan]

Horrific.

 

[Timan]

What type of dvd-drive are they using now?

I swear everyone asks about the drive when it comes to 360 being quite, mines the loudest pos before I even put a game in the thing.

Its a shame they picked the green over the gray like the h3 zune. Detail is nice tho.

So that's why you waste your life posting here ?

 

[Benjamin1981]

yikes, soooo ugly. I am a Halo fan, but this is so ugly, i would not even take it as a gift.

 

[DSN2K]

I kind of like it but the fact it dont come with game in question is well laughable imo.

Well my life may be ending soon. Once I saw that thing yesterday I puked up blood and have bedridden since.

Spot on.

And what's with the leetspeak on that box? I am not pleased. I want a civilian UN Halo 360 stat, get some class into this abhorrent practice.

And weren't the revised Pros quieter anyway?

 

[siamesedreamer]

What type of dvd-drive are they using now?

 

[disappeared]

Probably the ugliest color scheme for a console, ever. However, if it's quiet then that means they're finally making some noticable hardware revisions.

 

[ant1532]

Yuck, and wtf with no Halo 3...

Also, when are they going to smarten up and release a wearable Master Chief Helmet that doubles as a headset!!!??

How awesome would it be playing Halo 3 sunday morning in your pajamas with the helmet on on Live???!!!

 

[Manp]

ugly as sin, 50$/€ more than a premium and it doesn't even come with the game... bah

 

[McBacon]

I'd rather drop my 360 discs into that toaster.

OH MY GOD

Then a Jehova's Witness knocks on your door. The police show up several minutes later.

 

[Nolan.]

I don't think it looks anywhere near as bad as people are making out...though I still wouldn't get it.

 

[Beer Monkey]

So if you swap in a 120GB drive you break the color scheme.

 

[painey]

I'd rather drop my 360 discs into that toaster.

they'd probably end up less hot than putting them in a 360, and less chance of them getting scratched.

 

[Skilotonn]

It looks fine - a green 360 with Halo 3 art...

And it doesn't come with Halo 3 so that you could obviously chose which version you want to pick up alongside it ofcourse - or do you all want a Halo 3 360 for each version of the game to have another thing to complain about on a nice Sunday like this? :lol

Again, that box is just hot...

 

[jett]

Doesn't come with the game? ...WHAT?

 

[Arkaerial]

Now that is an ugly color scheme. For the price you don't even get the game...and couldn't they have at least colored the dvd tray.

 

[AdmiralViscen]

lol @ white tray

 

[Jswanko]

Ok im going to say again that I like it.

That was a very "english" statement. :lol

 

[Manp]

So if you swap in a 120GB drive you break the color scheme.

green, gold, black, yellow and red... a little bit of gray and silver can't really make things worse

 

[Kuroyume]

Does it have the extra fan and all that other new stuff? Btw, I heard that this version of the 360 has an exclusive theme and extra content. Any truth to that? Details?

 

[Barnolde]

That's the dumbest reasoning ever. Why not just include the cheapest one? Any Halo nerd who bought that ugly box would probably want to have all 3 versions of the game anyway.

 

[Wario64]

Thanks for the serial number, I'm now a proud registered owner of a Halo 3 Xbox 360 Special Edition console

 

[2600]

If they included the game, they would have had to time the release of this 360 exactly on the day of Halo 3 release.

 

[Ken Masters]

that was an ugly site

 

[AdmiralViscen]

That's the dumbest reasoning ever. Why not just include the cheapest one? Any Halo nerd who bought that ugly box would probably want to have all 3 versions of the game anyway.

What's dumb about that reasoning? It's certainly smarter than thinking the average SE console buyer would also buy 3 copies of the same game.

I think the real reason there's no Halo 3 bundled in is that NPD doesn't track bundled software.

Oh no you di'nt!

The real reasoning isn't that MS wanted to give people choice, it's that they don't need to include it, it'd sell at $60, $70 and $130 anyway. It'd be like giving away money to them when they know they can milk the consumer and get away with it.

If they wanted to give people Halo 3, they could include the cheapest version, it's the same game after all, is it not?
