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

When you open the tray and turn it on, it actually cues up sound effects.

No Caption Provided

I know, I know. An R2-D2 branded Xbox 360? I know, I know.

And yet, it looks pretty cool.

Microsoft unveiled the new Kinect Star Wars bundle at Comic-Con today. Not only does the console look like R2-D2...it comes loaded R2-D2 sound effects when the power goes on and the tray comes out.

  • The full bundle, priced at $449.99, includes:
  • Kinect Star Wars game
  • Custom R2-D2-themed Xbox 360 console with custom sounds
  • 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 think you're allowed to geek out on this one, folks.

When in doubt about your game being good; put an ugly dress on it.

I like how they just name a gold controller "The C-3PO controller" as if there's some huge distinction

No thank you, even though it looks awesome.

Holy crap..i think MS has probably found a way to sell the Kinect Star Wars Game... by selling it with customized hardware. That was something I didn't expect.

Wow, I want one of these. If I got one I would just throw away the Kinect and have sex with the disc tray.

I'm just too old for shit like that, and am wanting a black slim. I still have my (second after repair) old white 360 with a 120 gig HDD I thought smart at the time to buy.

A 250 GB Kinect package is $400.  You get the skin, a bigger HD and Kinect Star Wars for $50 more.
