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.

$500 (after tax) for a 6 year old system?

No thank you, even though it looks awesome.

It looks really cool, but my xbox still works and can't justify getting another one.

Aw man, and it used to be able to fly too, but lost that ability somewhere along the way.

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

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