News Xbox 360

UPDATE: Europe release confirmed.

UPDATE: Xbox marketing man Graeme Boyd has confirmed via his Twitter feed that the Star Wars bundle will be available in Europe, though didn't volunteer a price.

ORIGINAL STORY: A limited edition Star Wars-themed Xbox 360 bundle goes on sale in the US later this year to tie in with the launch of Star Wars Kinect, Microsoft and LucasArts have announced.

The set, priced at $449.99, sees the main 320GB console unit get a R2D2 skin, while the controller gets the C3PO treatment. The 360 has custom Star Wars sounds built in for when you turn the power on or open the disc tray.

You'll also get a white Kinect sensor, a standard wired headset, a copy of Star Wars Kinect, Kinect Adventures and access to "exclusive downloadable content".

Microsoft hasn't confirmed a European release yet, but we're chasing. Amazon has started taking US pre-orders.

Enough with the words, here are the pictures.

Really, as terrible as Star Wars Kinect is probably going to be, I must admit this thing is awesome.

I wonder if it makes R2-D2 noises? That would make my day.

That controller is also disturbingly alluring.

If it's got a light sabre hidden inside, ready to be thrown towards me, I'll be placing a pre-order.

edit: you can see and hear how it looks in action over at Kotaku.

It's really ugly. It's just a white console with blue bits painted on. Who the hell would waste their dosh on this???

(reads comments)

:-O (backs away from thread)

Here's how you do it properly: http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/xbox-3...

Instabuy, purely for the noises. It'd better sound like a light sabre when you boot it up!

I'd never get a 'themed' console as I think they mostly look rediculous and I'm not really a huge StarWars fan.

So I shouldn't like what I see here. Yet surprisingly I do. I actually think it looks pretty damn great and am tempted to go for one.

Kinda cool though if you're a SW fan. Should've made the kinect look like the camera that comes out of R2s head though!

Obi-Wan Kenobi or Obi-one Conobi; R2D2 looks too familiar to RROD. Who in their right mind is going to pay $449.99 to play a Kinect game that has more lag than a grandmothers tits?

The Star Wars brand has been milked to death to the point of complete and utter dilution.

Yet....those early formative years of my life where all things Star Wars were the be all and end all still digs deep.

This looks awesome

While that Star wars game still looks bunky, like Shadows of the Empire, I'd certainly buy this awesome droid skinned console, and still avoid playing that game.

Oh, don't mind me- I'm just imagining watching Star Wars movies with a 1-second delay.
Not so much fun either. Good job, Jeremy.

I wouldn't mind the console and even the tacky-gold controller, but a WHITE Kinect sensor? How many people here have a white TV? I dislike white items in general (e.g. consoles, sofas, fridges, cars) but I think this one has to be the worst yet!

Why not an IG-88 themed matte charcoal Kinect sensor? Yum!

@gm914
lol it's more like:
Vader: "I cut your hand off, no fair!"
Luke: "Na-aaaa - you didn't cut my hand off"
Luke looks down at hand as as he's watching it suddenly falls off.

Ah the power of the force with Kinect - feel it in phase-red real-time!

Now, I'm a Star Wars fan, but that is a cheap-looking and tacky-looking console. I won't be buying one as I'm quite happy with my original version 360 and have no interest in Kinect.

I bet if they really wanted to they could fit all the 360 gubbins inside a proper R2-D2-shaped casing. Now that would be worth buying, not this horrible cheap-looking thing.

I love that controller, especially the coloured strobes on the underside. Very nice. It'll be ruined in weeks when you get your muddy paw prints all over it, though.

I would be first in the queue if the console was a model of the Millennium Falcon; with the Kinect unit being the Death Star and the controller an X-Wing Fighter.
