[AbsoluteZero]

Ew. The Reach console was classier.

 

[TetraxShards]

Looks rusted. Still, kinda neat.

I'll probably only rent MW3, but nice for bigger fans of the series.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Bluetooth? That's the only thing that interests me.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Honestly its not a bad looking system.

 

[mxgt]

Looks like crap

Hey guys my console looks like it's been treated like shit, so cool!

 

[Gravijah]

Looks pretty cool, to be honest.

 

[Wario64]

It also has custom sound effects

[Cudder]

whoa, the vents shimmer when i scroll down. SO COOL WILL BUY

 

[OnPoint]

I'm not into CoD, MW, BlOPS or whatever, but that's a cool looking paint job

 

[V_Ben]

I... Eew. It doesn't look that good really :/ The scuffs are like the equivalent of buying jeans with rips already in them.

 

[adelante]

Doesn't look as nice as in photos it does right now in the live video feed

[rezuth]

Looks great but I'll settle for one of the controllers. I could do the headset if its good quality.

 

[Lothars]

I think it looks terrible, it's like they thought how can we make it look bad and designed it that way.
I much prefer the Reach Console and Gears Console looks compared to it.

 

[Drkirby]

Eh, its alright.

 

[Reave]

Not the worst looking look in the world, but dem scrape marks...

 

[Smeghead]

They pulling special editions out of their arse aren't they?

Reach, Gears, Star Wars and now this one.

Star Wars one is the best.

 

[KaYotiX]

Not a fan, the reach, halo 3 and star wars ones look alot better to me.

 

[dangerbyrnes]

did Microsoft change the joysticks on the Xbox controllers recently?

also, looks pretty cool, and i like the sounds it makes.

 

[Cat Party]

Looks horrendous.

 

[watatatow]

Looks pretty GRITTY and REALISTIC to me.

 

[Benjamin1981]

MS is killing it with the LE consoles this holiday.

Sony needs to step their game up.

 

[Interfectum]

I'm just glad they are using the new d-pad. Looks like dogshit though.

 

[Phat Michael]

looks terrible - why is there shit all over it?

 

[matmanx1]

The Star Wars model (and to a less extent the Gears 3) is MUCH cooler. I can still see this being popular with a certain crowd though.

 

[Dead Prince]

It also has custom sound effects

http://traffic.libsyn.com/majornelson/Xbox360ConsoleEject.wav

it's the new faceplate feature.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

6-8 months after this comes out and the new Call of Duty is announced, it will seem old and lame.

 

[bananas]

Bluetooth? That's the only thing that interests me.

Sounds like a MW3-themed version of the new Wireless Headset that's coming out in November.

It has a 360-mode and a bluetooth-mode, so you can use it as a cellphone headset or whatever.

It doesn't connect to the 360 via bluetooth, nor will the 360 be receiving a bluetooth hardware update.

 

[C_H_T]

MW 2 bundle:

The 2 included controllers, have the new transform d-pad.

 

[Graphics Horse]

I guess they scraped the paint off those R2D2 versions they had lying around.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Not a fan of the paint job.

Wasn't Modern Warfare iconic thingy that fluorescent green oscilloscope waves? Can't find it here.

 

[Anth0ny]

pfft, I'll stick with my R2-D2 xbox.

 

[The Lamonster]

That is ugly as shit. And I am sick of this franchise.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Looks horrible. Who in their right mind would buy this.

 

[udivision]

What's up with the analog sticks? They look different.

 

[SafeinSound]

I don't get that huge logo/emblem on the side? Someone care to explain?

 

[test_account]

I think that it looks a bit like a console that someone found on the dump, worn out. But i think that the theme fits to MW3 though =)

 

[Cmagus]

looks alright but thing is its all dirty and yet the cd tray door is all clean it just doesn't look right

 

[Majine]

it's the new faceplate feature.

Except this one is kinda cool.

 

[Tucah]

This may be one of the ugliest consoles I've ever seen.

 

[Gillian Seed]

What's up with the analog sticks? They look different.

They are the newer style. They have the deep groove in the sticks for your thumbs to set in.

 

[Hilbert]

I think it looks neat. Not a fan of the series and won't be getting it, but it looks nice.

 

[angelfly]

One of the ugliest LE consoles I've ever seen.

 

[The Faceless Master]

so they're releasing a COD branded version of their new Wirelesss headset first... or...

and it's too bad they use those controllers with the faulty d-pad that breaks...

 

[MikeE21286]

Well that doesn't look good at all.

 

[statham]

+new control pads + 320 GB, has a dirty look, not a fan. overpriced by $50 bucks

 

[soultron]

Not really a fan, but the "destroyed" look always tends to be quite polarizing in the design world.

The bundle itself sounds good. The custom sound effects thing is neat. I'd love to see what a LE MGS HD Collection 360 would use (codec lock/unlock, perhaps?) if it were ever a reality.

 

[Pranay]

Looks good but the Star wars one was awesome

 

[Owzers]

It's the equivalent of buying torn jeans for the console world

My console is gritty!
