Okay, This R2-D2 Xbox 360 Is Cooler Than You'd Expect

That's awesome! If I had that kind of money to spend I would totally get this.

I never thought I would see a video game console that looked that cool. This sounds like it is well worth the $450 even if you arent interested in Kinect.

Looks awesome, but I haven't touched the 360 I already have in years, so I'm not about to spend $400+ on that one. Wish I had the tools to mod my current one though.

This is dirty. There is going to be a group of people that buy this just because it's a Star Wars Xbox and not for any other reason.

What would be another reason?

brb robbing a bank

This is awesome!!! The R2 sounds are sweet too.  I just preordered mine on Amazon..no tax!  Yes!
 
I'll be selling my Modern Warfare 2 console with the quickness, and probably the Star Wars Kinect game too unless it drastically improves.

My iPhone totally makes an R2D2 noise when I get a text message, thanks to this console and Major Nelson just straight-up posting the mp3s.

I've never been tempted by a special edition console until now.  Unfortunately I just replaced my alunch 360 with a 250GB slim model, or I would be all over this.

Am I too sick in the head if I'm considering replacing my "old" slim with this one?

wooo another $500 towards dumb shit *someone starves and has no healthcare outside my apartment*

I don't want Kinect Star Wars but I want this. Dammit Microsoft, take my damn money!

beep boop bop beep

The hell you say!
 
Isn't the next gen out next year?  Bit of a waste to blow my load now when
the new generation is so close...

I made the mistake of showing this to my girlfriend...now I've gotta get the GoW3 Xbox, and this one...

Goddammit, I would totally buy this if I didn't already waste money on a Kinect.

i can't believe how much time i considered buying that... even though my slim works perfectly fine.

I just want the console and the controller D:

This looks awesome!

i might buy the bundle because of this...  but im tight on money so i probably wont

Ffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-I'm broke. But that looks AWESOME.

this is an evill evil xbox 360 directed at every geek on the planet... 
 
am I going to fall for it??.....YES i want my xbox to sound like R2-D2!!damnit!!!!!

Me: "Hey honey, they just announced a new xbox"

Wife: "No"

Me: "but, its a full bundle with all the new gizmos"

Wife: "No"

Me: "Its star wars"

Wife: "How much?"

Me: "$490 after tax and shipping"

Wife: "No"

Me: "It looks like R2....."

Wife: "Really, I love R2. OMG it makes R2 noises, that is so awesome"

Preorder confirmed.

great

Eh...Gold controller looks like shit.  Very cool and novel collectors item, but also kinda stupid....Im conflicted on what to say apparently lol.  I want to hate it, but it wont let me, the force is strong with this one.....Id want to be able to argue with it threw the kinect. It needs to be surly when I tell it to do things, It should no longer be addressed as Xbox, but as R2 threw kinect. Either way, to those that get it, ENJOY!!! 
 
*edit dirty disc errors should play the garbled msg from the princes "help me Obiwan, your my only hope!"  pref by displaying a 3d holo image projected from the power ring.  

@Godlyawesomeguy: Wonderful.

I kinda really want it.

I think the R2-D2 system looks damn cool but what makes the controller C-3PO inspired other than it being gold? 

Sweet! Still not interested in Kinect though.

Uuuuhhh... They were, you know, thinking about C-3PO when they decided to make a golden controller, and...

Um, shut up!

controller gotta be slippery.

They should put the wilhelm scream in there.

no.

Got to get me one of these

They've totally pulled one over on everyone, i think due to this console, it will create a massive increase in sales of the game which to be honest looks like a pile of shit . Also, wasn't C3PO the bigger one sporting a mid-rift "circle" which would of looked like a cool power button and use  R2 as the Controller. Plus the Artwork is Sloppy, all they've done is put some blue squares and rectangles on the damn thing. In my eyes this is a dick move to generate sales for a game that doesn't deserve the time of day, but because it's got the Star Wars Name on it people will buy into its charms, not me, the game looks shit, Kinect is shit, and i've had 7 Xbox's so Microsoft won't be getting any of my shit for some gimmick shit. Shit.

Yup.  I'm in on this. 
 
One, $450 ain't a bad price for a system with a 350GB HDD, a kinect, and 2 games. 
 
Plus, it makes R2 sounds! 
 
Come on!

No. This.

320GB? I have to upgrade again?

Want.

I know its bad, but I love how these SE consoles come with custom audio for physical button interactions. Its little details like that which push these over the top for me. If I didn't already have a Slim (and replaced several old skool 360s...but thats another post) I'd totally snag this!!!! Dammit...

I like how the controller looks more than the actual console, R2 noises are kind of cool though.

Can I just have the controller?

I really want this, but I dont want the game :(

Gutted - No pre-orders outside of US

Do you have to get the Star Wars game with it? Haha

Is it bad that the thing that excites me the most is the fact that the xbox makes R2-D2 sounds?

Sometimes I ask myself if I'm weird for thinking Star Wars is stupid. It takes something like this to reassure me that I'm not crazy, but in fact everyone else is.
