New Xbox 360 Has the Looks of R2-D2 and C-3PO
This is the Xbox 360 that I am looking for.
If this were just a custom case mod, we'd think that it's awesome – but amazingly, it'll be a real retail product that will arrive alongside the Kinect Star Wars game.
Coming this this holiday season at $449.99 will be the first-ever custom Xbox 360 Kinect bundle, which will include an R2-D2 blue-and-white themed console, a custom Xbox 360 Wireless Controller inspired by C-3PO and the first ever white Kinect sensor.
The Xbox 360 Limited Edition Kinect Star Wars Bundle will include:
- Kinect Star Wars game
- Custom R2-D2-themed Xbox 360 Console with custom sounds (Hear them (MP3) - > Power on and Tray eject)
- White Kinect Sensor
- Custom C-3PO-themed Xbox 360 Wireless Controller
- 320 GB Hard Drive
- Xbox 360 Wired Headset
- Kinect Adventures game
- Exclusive downloadable content
I may have already had an Xbox 360 for nearly six years now, but the geek-draw of an R2-D2 console will be too strong to resist.

The creators couldn't think of a better game title than Kinect Star Wars? It seems a bit overpriced for a 'package deal' to me.

*sigh* it is/will be the same exact price as if you bought everything seperatley yes(minus the fact you get a bigger harddrive) but who the hell wold not want a R2D2 Painted system or white kinect sensor or a pimped out gold C3PO controller FOR THE EXACT SAME PRICE AS BUYING EVERYTHING SEPERATE!?!?! you are getting a insanely rare paint job on the console + kinect + controller for FREE!!!!
R2-D2 xbox and a Zelda controller. I'm sure someone would believe that if you stuck the controller on ebay. I guess its still better than the Resident Evil 5 themed 360.
i SO want that controller, mine is dieing, and i love the gold look to it.
here is hopeing its not just a pain job, and the controllers plastic is gold colored to, so if the chrome gold gets scratched its not a glaring problem.
Gold makes you look like a "cocalar".
Nah, too gypsy-ish for me.
why buy an xBoX 360 now when Xbox 720 its anounced for the next year ... (even if the looks are good)
Even this doesn't make me want a xbox360. PS3 has all the good exclusives.
Besides. Why buy a console now with the next gen right around the corner. If PS4 has PS3&PS2 backwards compatibility, I might become a console gamer again.

I agree with you in almost everything...but if you have a girlfriend who is a casual gamer, then you will know that the PS3 sux. Fable doesn't run so well on a playstation...and that is the PERFECT game to jam with your gf, once LBP has been beat.
Really.... For $449 MS was too cheap to throw in a free year subscription of xbox live???

*WEEEEE-OOOOOOO-WEEEEE-OOOOOOO - GRAMMAR POLICE*
It's spelled "dying". That is all.
Wow, can I get one so I can place right beside my velvet paintings, not.
My last-gen Elite that I paid $400 CAD is good enough for me, thanks. At least this way my Xbox goes with all my other matte-black components... that thing would just stick out like a sore thumb.
And a sore wallet.
Oh, and I already have Kinect, one glorified infrared webcam with virtually no games up until now is good enough for me, thanks.
C3PO to gamers: "Excuse me sir, but that R2-D2 is in prime condition, a real bargain".
this golden controller will catch the eye of some rappers, no doubt, but for me is ugly as hell.
\^_^/ yay
Must....resist....urge....to buy
1 - the PS3 does NOT suck. Did the Xbox 360 suck when there were only 20 million of them (granted 1/4 were replacements) as of today, there are 50+ Million PS3 sold... any day now, the Xbox will destroy the PS3.... not.
2 - White Kinect? They should have kept it black and added a bit more to it... make it DARTH VADER, since it "senses" you. And would look better on all the BLACK TVs out there.
The Force has a strong influence on the weak-minded; this makes us all weak-minded.
Too bad they can't watch Star Wars on Blu Ray with it
you are fargin mad
Well it really isn't "new", just a $10 skin job.
Only a 320GB hard drive? There are 1TB, 2platter 2.5" hard drives out now
i will never pay $449.99 when the new consoles are about to emerge....thanks but no thanks

There are still a couple more mistakes you failed to catch, you incompetent grammar cop. YOU'RE FIRED!!
as of today, there are 50+ Million PS3 sold...
So what you're saying is that compared to PS2, PS3 is a complete failure? I agree! PS2 had a much better library of games, and beat the snot out of the competition in sales. PS3 helped Sony win the movie format wars - that's its legacy.

As someone else already pointed out, you get a larger HDD and a limited edition custom console, at the same price as buying the current top bundle and the game. Limited edition console bundles aren't about saving money.
I will say that I miss the detachable faceplates.
Can't believe that nobody else has said this: "These aren't the droids you're looking for."
this product doesn't make sense. it's expensive (together or seperately). the kinect is for 6 yr olds. 6 yr olds dont need 320gb hdds. 6 yr olds prbly dont relate well with r2-d2 and c3po enough to care about the design of xbox housing. star wars fan will appreciate the xbox but probably be disappointed by the kinect unless they have 6 yr olds. Either way, if shopping for a 6 yr old, there's better ways to spend over $400 on them (for something they may forget about in a few weeks).
This would be way more cool if Lucas had'nt destroyed the franchise. Star Wars was awesome, i will always cherish the first trilogy but he cant seem to make anything even remotely good since 1983. Those supporting Star Wars right now are blindly supporting mediocrity. I know this sounds harsh, because it is one harsh reality. If you were a true fan you would not stand for this, but ol' George knows you'll just buy ANYTHING with a Star Wars label on it.

No the controller is solid gold and weights like 50 pounds
FUGLYssimo !
OmG'z a painted case? i bet this 360 is the fastest one yet! oh wait, its just paint isnt it. Dang.
i winder if they also implemented anything special for the red light failures
oh well it wouldn't take long before someone had one anyway to find out.
