That design looks overly complicated for my taste.

 

[Speedymanic]

That's very nice, are the controllers going to match?

What's this? Looks awesome, if a little fan-paints-Xbox-because-I'm-super-cool.

It's the Hitman themed console that's at Comic Con. Not sure if will ever be released or if it has matching controllers (it probably does), just happened across the pic.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

$400 really?

 

[SentientStone]

Reach 360 was the only limited edition console I liked I think, maybe the Gun Metal PS3 as well but that MGS logo on it is kind of a turn-off.

 

[Uncharted Waves]

Okay let me get this out of the way....

I am one of the biggest Halo fans on the planet and the Halo games simply OWN every other gaming franchise known to man...

But what the heck is WRONG with some of you guys? You seriously have me worried about your overall tastes in some things. I CRINGED when I first saw this poor excuse for an LE console.

Are some of you guys serious? The design, colors, patterns. What a nasty looking color blue mixed in with those HORRIBLE patterns makes me want to scream in pain.

I tried to picture this thing in my living room and couldn't bear it. Who the hell or what team at MS approved of this?! Wow. Just wow. They must really think you can throw the word Halo on Horse shit and people would buy it. Wow.

I like it. You know different opinions and all that......

 

[schwabdizzle]

It's awesome, but too late in the 360's life cycle for me to purchase one.

 

[EYEL1NER]

But what the heck is WRONG with some of you guys?

Not hard to figure out.
Some people like basic, bland, 'sleek' stuff that is a single color.
Some people like flash.

Usually I am in the single color 'sleek' camp, but I like how flashy this is. I like the colors a lot too. And I cannot wait to see how translucent it is. If it is as translucent as I am hoping for, it will look great in person.

 

[Double D]

Looks kinda ugly to me.

I'll be fine with my Star Wars 360:

Internet Brofist

 

[Chittagong]

damn that must be the ugliest console since Pikachu N64

 

[Spiders]

The console looks pretty nice, but it's not very haloish. The controllers are just plain ugly.

 

[Ingueferroque]

My god this is garish.

Very chavvy.

 

[Brandon F]

The only attractive Xbox in this thread.

 

[OverHeat]

The only attractive Xbox in this thread.

My original shiny xbox 360 Slim Say no.

 

[GamerVoice]

That console is vile.

Regular 360 is much better.

 

[lethial]

Wow that's hideous. Maybe if I was 14 years old it'd be cool.

 

[Struct09]

I just want one of those controllers

 

[Majanew]

Ugly console. Get rid of the white and blue design. Looks like a Wal-Mart tough guy shirt.

 

[kittens]

My original shiny xbox 360 Slim Say no.

Matte Slim > Shiny Slim.

Matte Anything > Shiny Anything.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Still really wish a RE6 Bundle would happen.
Since it would mean more than likely a purple xbox.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

I like your stick.

 

[Arklite]

Needs more subtlety.

 

[Bgamer90]

Would look so much better without the blue and white circles/stripes.

Way too busy.

 

[enzo_gt]

Looks like a clusterfuck. Reach console will never be topped.

 

[Bgamer90]

Prefer Reach

Wow. That really is a whole lot better.

 

[watership]

Need to see in person, seeing as it's translucent.

I thought something was off, but hearing that it's translucent makes these picture meaningless. We need better shots.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Prefer Reach

Yep, I own this as well. It is so very superior to the Halo 4 console.

 

[Zwei]

We need better shots.

Agreed, but if you look closely, you can see that the outer casing is indeed a smoky translucent colour.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Matte Slim > Shiny Slim.

Matte Anything > Shiny Anything.

Yep.

 

[border]

Not hard to figure out.
Some people like basic, bland, 'sleek' stuff that is a single color.

This console is not flashy. It's tacky.

This is like having a dragon airbrushed on the back of your van. Or wolves on the side of your Toyota.

 

[SniperHunter]

$400 for a 6 year old machine....

Damn, at 400 you would expect it to be bundled with kinect. Goddamn fortune for a console this fucking old.

pretty much what I was thinking

 

[kittens]

This person gets it.

 

[EYEL1NER]

Where is the dragon on this console? Or the wolves? All I see is blue and white lines on a grey color. I mean, I guess if you hate the color blue or something, I could see hating this.
But there is no tribal artwork, no intricate design, no logos. Just some lines and colors. .

The controllers are pretty tacky, I'll give you that.

 

[NH Apache]

Translucent is nice touch, but I would be wary of purchasing a 400 dollar 360 possibly a year before next gen release (my rough guess).

 

[FateBreaker]

Very nice. Definitely the best Halo console yet.

 

[Unregistered007]

I own the Halo Reach and Gears of War 3 ED consoles, definitely love both.

This is looking was too shiny.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Why are there still no official PR shots?

Did MS Store leak this early?

 

[rozay]

that's a bit of an understatement imo

Whoever mentioned it was translucent, that makes a lot of sense as you can tell by the look of the slits on the side, what appears to be a visible DVD drive, and various other seams on the case. Doesn't help my opinion of it though.

its Plywood's car!

 

[Hypertrooper]

Yep. It is not officially announced yet.

 

[Silly.Mikey]

Wow, that is offensively ugly.

That and the StarWars one are the absolute ugliest with the SW one taking the crown. Ugly ugly ugly. The Reach one is where its at.

 

[Rad Agast]

They really need to go back to doing them like this:

That, is a sexy console.

Yep, I was expecting something similar to the Halo 3 xbox too.

 

[border]

Where is the dragon on this console? Or the wolves? All I see is blue and white lines on a grey color.

The idea is that there are some objects that generally remain monochromatic (cars, appliances, furniture), and they just look garish when they have wildly colorful designs painted all over them. If the pattern on the 360 was on a car, it'd look stupid there too.

 

[Bgamer90]

Here's a picture that shows off the translucency:

Console and controller look really good, now that we have better shots.

[FStop7]

Love the controller. Don't like the console.

 

[bill0527]

$400 really?

Yep.

Pretty much also confirms there will be no holiday price drop of the console.

I prefer my consoles to have a clean look to them
