Microsoft Readies Xbox 360 Limited Edition "Halo 4" Console Bundle
At Comic Con, Microsoft unveiled its newest Xbox 360 Limited Edition bundle, themed after Halo 4. Its makers refer to it as "the definitive console bundle of 2012," and hope to make it available in limited quantities, in Autumn. The bundle includes an Xbox 360 console with 320 GB HDD, a pair of Xbox 360 wireless controllers, a wired headset, and a copy of Halo 4. The console and controllers are decked in Halo 4 skins (translucent bodies with a blue tinge and graphics). Apart from the four items, buyers of the new bundle receive Xbox LIVE tokens for exclusive Halo 4 in-game and avatar marketplace DLC. The bundle will be priced at US $399.99 (ERP), the controllers will be made available separately, too, at US $59.99 a pop.

Enough with these wireless controllers bullshit. We need a wired version with transforming d-pad and preferably a nice-looking transparent body.
M$ is too obsessed with making wireless controllers so that they can sell play & charge kit and wireless receiver for PC, disregarding the fact that wired controller is superior in terms of vibration force and weight, not to mention the loose battery cover problem. |

I for one can not wait for this game, and if I didnt already have a 360 id pick this up. I am not sure why so much hate on the actual console. I mean Evga has a dozen versions of X video card and no one complains about milking lol.

Regardless, my 360 is dying and I already had Legendary edition on pre-order, so I just switched the pre-order to the console. The Reach console was awesome(one of my friends bought it), this one looks even nicer and the 320GB HDD doesn't hurt either.

They are not really milking Halo lol. Halo has a huge story, probably one of the most in depth stories in a video game. The covenant is one thing, but theres a whole other part to it all and thats the forerunners and that is what the new Halo trilogy story line is going to be about. I have ready all the Halo books and there is so much more to the Halo Universe, and im glad they are making more games. I won't play the new trilogy for the multiplayer. I want to play it for the story.

I'm no fanboy, I love other games as well, but the Halo series, especially CE, will always hold a special place in my gaming heart.

Looks pretty sweet, I just wish they didn't change from the gloss finish to the matte finish with the normal model, looks cheap lol.

Every 360 console to date has had a fan. The original "fat" 360s had two 80mm(at least I think they were 80mm) fans in the back for exhaust, the new "slim" consoles have a single 120mm fan blowing directly on the CPU/GPU heatsink assembly with passive exhaust.

Whilst it does look very nice, anyone looking to buy a new 360 (when they already have one) just because it's got some fancy artwork on it are a bit daft. The new generation will be out in a couple of years.

I guess that's what happens when you put enough hours into playing that it could be a part-time job
