Normally I think special bundles are awful, but I think this one looks pretty awesome. And I'm not that big of a Star Wars fan.

 

[Special J]

Transforming D-pad?

ya same with the gears bundle.

 

[bigtroyjon]

Trying to say Microsoft went to the Nintendo school?

I would assume he is talking about Microsoft owning the video game marketing school. They sell stuff better than anyone in the industry.

 

[demosthenes]

Very cool custom hardware. I believe the Bioshock themed PC in mineral oil is still the best though.

 

[Cheech]

I'm going to preorder this just in case I hit the lotto between now and then.

 

[EteRnal PAL]

Transforming D-pad?

Yup. In case you didn't know what that was, you can spin the disc of the dpad to pop the cross on the dpad up more.

 

[Lambtron]

Oh my god that gold controller.

This just made me realize that should MS ever release a matte, white slim console I will be completely helpless and will buy it. Sigh.

 

[Infamous Chris]

I need a 2nd job.

 

[Fularu]

Looks incredibly ugly

 

[Owlowiscious]

this is amazing. but it's also around the time the vita will come out. too much monies

 

[Uno Venova]

500 dollars? Hell no.

However the redesign is nice, the writings on the disc tray and the sounds when you open and close the disc tray are all really nice touches.

My father retires at the end of this year. Was thinking about buying him a 4GB slim with Pinball FX2 and Pinball Hall of Fame. Perhaps I'll simply give him my current Jasper 360 and pick this up for myself. Hmm.

 

[emb]

Looks pretty amazing. I'd probably get it if it was 50 dollars less and didn't come with the game. Or just 50 dollars less I suppose. I don't really want the game, but I know if I get it I won't bother to sell it or any thing...

This thread also made me realize the Gears bundle doesn't come with Kinect... meaning it's around 100 just for a game and controller... which means 40 for the controller. That's technically an ok deal and all... I guess.

 

[Dug]

We're not going to be able to buy the gold controller separately, are we?

 

[Princess Skittles]

Blue LED lights!

They're beautiful. *misty eyes*

And the controller appears to be the same build as the silver/monochrome one AKA BAD AZZZZZ.

 

[Slayer-33]

We're not going to be able to buy the gold controller separately, are we?

Ebay shall allow people who buy this thing be able to make a ton of the money back on the console/rest of the items.

Is going to sell for over $100 +* if limited to this bundle only (which it'll most likely be)

 

[.nimrod]

The bundled kinect should've been in the shape of vaders helmet

 

[[Nintex]]

That looks awesome, too bad they made it for such a shitty game

 

[comedy bomb]

That looks awesome, too bad they made it for such a shitty game

I was just gonna post the same thing.

 

[Skiptastic]

Okay, if Costco is in on this, I'm buying it. Fuck that is cool.

Holy shit, and 320GB too? Fucking A.

 

[SPEA]

That's some sweet ass nerd service right there. Props to Microsoft for adding the little touches.

 

[dallow_bg]

Console is awful but that controller....... :drool:

 

[AbsoluteZero]

We're not going to be able to buy the gold controller separately, are we?

I wouldn't say no just yet, as they sold the Reach controller separately, but I'd say the chances are much slimmer.

 

[Infamous Chris]

Can we preorder yet??

 

[infinityBCRT]

Its great. That being said the Kinect should have also been R2D2 themed.

 

[EteRnal PAL]

Can we preorder yet??

Yes, I already did.

Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0050SY300/amazon0b53-20/

[Cat Party]

The wires on the controller are such a nice touch.

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Urgh come on. I've been hoping for a glossy white 360 since the slim launched and when it finally comes out it's covered in some really nasty Star Wars branding.

Just give me that white Xbox 360 with the blue LEDs and the white Kinect sensor in a bundle and I'll gladly pay £300 for it.

Yeah, I know. It's nice to be hopeful though....

 

[ZZMitch]

DAMN

Must... resist.

 

[Princess Skittles]

I wish I could just get a matte black Xbox S with blue LEDs.

 

[a Master Ninja]

My inner child cries out for this, but I will be strong.

 

[Vandiger]

I think I might pre-order this just for re-sale value alone. Some of the details are actually very nice for a themed console.

 

[Gillian Seed]

360 data transfer from 250gb slim to 320gb slim? I have not noticed a transfer cable available yet for this? There must be one though, since they are releasing this and the new Gears 3 Consoles with 320GB HD's.

 

[[Nintex]]

I wish I could just get a matte black Xbox S with blue LEDs.

Me too, sounds Perfect Dark-ish somehow.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

How do Amazonk Pre-Orders work? Do they charge your card now?

 

[Nightz]

How do Amazonk Pre-Orders work? Do they charge your card now?

They charge when the product ships.

 

[JonCha]

The is awesome. I may finally get an S because of this alone.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

They charge when the product ships.

So there's no real downside to just pre-ordering now?

Kill it with fire.

 

[shintoki]

This is the first Special Edition console to look cool. Not going to buy, but its neat.

 

[DMeisterJ]

Never saw Star Wars, so the console doesn't appeal to me, but the Gold controller looks cool. I'd buy that separately.

 

[Benjamin1981]

The downside is you might actually get one.

 

[Nemesis121]

If it was cheaper I might have bought it.

This....


$449 is too much, I wouldn't mind a Kinect less version for $250

 

[speedline]

Looks shit and I can't believe anyone is excited with that price, this gen refuses to go down :/

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

Never saw Star Wars, so the console doesn't appeal to me, but the Gold controller looks cool. I'd buy that separately.

What kind of blasphemy is this? Get off GAF right now and go watch it.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

The downside is you might actually get one.

That's the upside.

 

[a Master Ninja]

Never saw Star Wars, so the console doesn't appeal to me, but the Gold controller looks cool. I'd buy that separately.

Not possible.

 

[Princess Skittles]

That's the upside.

Not if you're "gotta be different guy."
