It comes with a 320 GB hard disk, a white kinect, a copy of that... huh... peculiar Star Wars Kinect game seen at E3, a golden controller to better collect your fingerprints and it's supposed to look like R2-D2! What... you don't see the resemblance? Me neither...

But it costs $449!

I kinda like the look of the R2D2 system, but I'd never pay that much for it since I don't want a Kinect or that awful Star Wars game.

I know, but I doubt an XBOX coated in fur to resemble Chewbacca (the real protagonist of the series >__> ) would sell too well

Aside from the inevitable heating issues, I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

Only if it has the bandolier and only if it makes the RAWRRR sound when I open the disc tray

I actually really like the look of the system and Kinect. I'd actually consider purchasing it if I ever wanted a 360 again. I'd just try to sell the game since it really doesn't interest me.

Wow that's ugly. I hope they at least changed the startup and eject beeps to mirror R2-D2. (and at least it's a variant of the transforming dpad controller, even with that tacky finish)

Ugh......nerd bait. MS and the developer know this game is going to be so crappy so they're whoring out the brand to this length to move more copies of the game thereby turning embarrassment into a win-win situation. Clever, sleazy but clever.

I may be in the minority here, but I actually kind of like it. However the price is horrible. Yes it comes with a 320 GB hard drive, but I don't want the game or the Kinect. I'll just stick with the Xbox 360 I currently have.

I think it looks cool as hell, but that's just me. Won't be buying it though.

I see what they're trying to do, but who was the person who came up with the golden finish on the controller?

It's kind of neat...but I can see it looking kind of dingy and scratched after a couple of months.

That's what I'm getting at. It may look cool, but that finish will only deteriorate. I like the thought they put into it, and the design does a good job of conveying a Star Wars feel, but it seems like the designers could have made a better choice to preserve the aesthetics of the controller.

Agreed. I have a very bad habit of dropping controllers and I don't see this finish lasting very long. In fact, if I ever bought this I would never use this controller.

The hard drive size is certainly enticing, but the rest of it... ugh. That price especially.

Does it make those R2-D2 sound? Would be awsome when it goes queezsees when you play for too long and it is making concerns.magicalclick

I think I read somewhere that it makes some sort of R2-D2 sounds, but it was never specified where they would be used.

Everytime you press the power button it should say, "Damn you, Rebel scum!!"

I think it looks kinda neat, but it seems way overpriced, especially if you currently have a working console.
