Huzzah! Those discerning commandos among you will be excited to know that the official Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Xbox 360 console has been released here in Australia.

Not just a new colour...

Interesting timing, with it being Remembrance Day here, a time to reflect on those soldiers who have fought for our country.

For AUD$599RRP you can get yourself (for a limited time, while stocks last etc. etc.) a custom Limited Edition Modern Warfare 2 decorated Elite 360 console with a huge 250 gig Hard Drive, two wireless controllers, a headset, and a standard copy of the Modern Warfare 2 game.

The last special edition Xbox console over here was the Halo 3 one a few years ago, unless you count the red Resident Evil 5 one (which I don’t), so it’s nice to have another one with a special design released for the fans.

So Modern Warfare fans: suit up, lock & load, and acquire the target objective.

You can also order it here from our friends at Gamesbasement, so contact them if you are after a PAL version.
