Support NeoGAF

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

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.

That's dumb. It'll be worth it as long as it support dual mode where you can switch between phone and game audio on the fly.

 

[The Lamonster]

Someone took a Duty on the console.

[Cat Party]

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

Perfect.

 

[Dead Man Typing]

I'm amazed that Microsoft can still charge $400 for a 360, six years after it launched.

I know you get a lot more in the box than you did back in 2005, a pack in game, a headset, a second controller... a machine that probably wont die in the first year....

But I never thought we'd see this kind of price maintained over such a long span of time. Well done, I guess.

I like it; especially the controllers . There's no way I'd pay $400 for this LE bundle, though. If only the controllers were sold separately..

 

[Red UFO]

The design isn't bad, but it most certainly is not my cup of tea.

I NEED one of those fancy controllers though.

? From the OP:

The Xbox 360 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Wireless Controller allows you to show all your friends your passion for the franchise. The controller includes exclusive artwork and a transforming D-pad that can be rotated to adapt to the user’s game play, as well as an Xbox LIVE token for an exclusive download, all for $59.99 (U.S. ERP)

Im glad MS is still putting out custom consoles since Sony and Nintendo decided people in the US arent interested in those things anymore.

 

[K.Sabot]

Looks like if I left a Reach 360 out in the rain.

 

[funkystudent]

couldn't they have gone the extra little bit and made it a 360 gb hard drive?

i want to hear people say a 360 gig 360!

 

[Apoc87]

MW 2 bundle:

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

This didn't come with the new dpads.

 

[Shig]

I wish LE consoles would just be a different color and that's it, no game logos or any of that mess on the front. I'd buy a plain silver or white console straightaway. Silver with fake weathering and a big MW3, White with messy blue droid parts everywhere and a clashing controller? No, no sir.

 

[Hilbert]

Looks like if I left a Reach 360 out in the rain.

Oh man, a Silent Hill 360 would be wonderful. All chain link fences and rust.

 

[D-Pad]

The wear-n-tear scrape marks are fine, imo. Great even. It's the giant MW3 that's been slapped all over the console that ruins it.

 

[Slayer-33]

They changed the analog sticks?


Look.

 

[Franklinator]

I don't care much for Call of Duty, but that 360 is boss

 

[Gillian Seed]

I will still get the Star Wars Console, but i will grab one of these controllers for sure!

 

[Akkad]

Well, how many people are interested in these consoles?

 

[Nizz]

As OCD as I am about cleanliness, this special edition's a no go! Not a fan of the dirty look. I think that recent 360 LE they unveiled recently (for Batman: Arkham City) looks better.

 

[Shig]

They changed the analog sticks?


Look.

The first controller with the rotating D-pad had those sticks as well.

Oddly, the Gears 3 controller adds the rotating d-pad, but keeps the old sticks.

Well, how many people are interested in these consoles?

Historically, enough that they're pretty much all sold out from most retailers in a couple months. There's definitely demand.

 

[LQX]

Does not look good enough to sway me from my white Star Wars edition.

Well, how many people are interested in these consoles?

They sell out fast and retain their value. I was able to sell my MW2 Elite for pretty much what I paid and the Halo Reach slim is still selling well on Ebay.

 

[PSYGN]

Looks like it has been damaged. No thanks!

 

[Slappers Only]

Totally looks like something that would be referred to as "the Package" in a MW game.

 

[Amagon]

Looks lame

 

[Princess Carl]

Control Sticks are definitely new, wonder how they feel.

 

[Sai-kun]

Well, how many people are interested in these consoles?

It's really funny, I work at a GS (don't hate me ;_, and we actually sell through these things really quick, mostly because we only get enough for people who preordered it, and maybe 1/2 extra, but we've had the FFXIII 360 sitting around in our store for as long as it's been out :lol It's the only special edition console I've seen that we've never sold out of. No one wants it! (probably because it's overpriced buuuuttt....)

Anyways! This is...meh? I dunno. First post nailed it with the Reach 360. That one is just...way nicer. The artwork on it was very appropriate for it, and fit very nicely. This is just like...I dunno, it doesn't seem like it fits too well. They should've gone with the green/black logo. That would've been rad.

I thought the only thing that the FFXIII 360 console didn't even have designs on the console and basically just came with some avatar awards and the game, was it anything special?

 

[ASSauLTxMasTER]

Looks.....awesome, alright. Don't know about getting it... should come with MW3

 

[ampere]

Looks neat

It looks like it does come with MW3 from the boxart.

I think you're right, it's just a 360 Elite (nice HDD size though) with the game and some extra crap. It *was* a good deal back when XIII came out, and now it just sits high up on a shelf gathering dust.

 

[DatBreh]

Well, how many people are interested in these consoles?

Id say quite a bit since they always sell out and retain their value.

 

[C_H_T]

This didn't come with the new dpads.

I meant the new MW3 bundle.

 

[Vire]

Looks like shit. Why would you want an intentionally damaged looking console. Seems dumb.

Real man's Xbox.

 

[DireStr8s]

It looks like a Fallout asset. Weathered Console, or something.

 

[Pranay]

Real man's Xbox.

Now Thats AWESOME

 

[OrangeYouGlad]

Now Thats AWESOME

Except the art requires it to be standing. Who does that?

 

[HocusPocus]

It will sell out along with all the other limited consoles. Good way to keep your console hardware numbers up .

 

[Zwei]

? From the OP:

ah shit, thanks for pointing that out. I never read OPs thoroughly.

and $60? lol. I will wait for a sharp price reduction on that one.

 

[The Antitype]

Much prefer the Halo Reach LE Console.

Subtle enough for anybody who's not a fan to think it's just a sexy silver console, cool enough for everybody who is a fan to know it's fucking awesome.

 

[Wallach]

I don't have any interest in the game, but I quite like the color scheme used here. If it didn't have the MW3 branding it would probably be my favorite LE console so far.

 

[Eggo]

It also has custom sound effects

http://traffic.libsyn.com/majornelson/Xbox360MW3ConsolePower.wav

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

I really like the powering on sound effect, but not $400 like it.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

The top picture makes it look blue/green, but the bottom picture looks brown.

Which is it?

 

[hoos30]

Well, at least you don't have to dust it.

Horrible. Giant images on consoles are always ugly.

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Currently own

250GB Modern Warfare 2 Console
20GB Halo 3 Console
250GB Halo Reach Console

If i was getting another it would be the star wars console, gears console looks over the top and this isnt really appealing.

 

[SlaughterX]

Wow, 3 LE 360s in on holiday season... a bit much me thinks.

Anyway the headset sounds pretty cool, since it's also bluetooth I suppose you can have it synced to your 360 and PS3 simultaneously?

 

[-PXG-]

I think it looks neat.... :/

*runs*

 

[sixteen-bit]

Looks ugly

 

[Deleted member 81567]

Who with a love for Call of Duty doesn't have a console by now?
