Microsoft has just announced at Comic Con in San Diego that there will be a Limited Edition Xbox 360 Kinect bundle that takes its inspiration from Star Wars.
And yes it is coming to Australia.
The bundle includes:
- The new 360 console design with a Limited Edition R2-D2 look and R2-D2 custom sounds
- A massive 320 gig Hard Drive
- A shiny golden Limited Edition C-3PO wireless controller
- The Kinect sensor in pure white
- The Star Wars Kinect game
- The Kinect Adventures game
- Xbox 360 Wireless Headset
- Exclusive DLC (downloadable content)
Australian Details
While this package will put you back US$449 in the U.S., and even though our dollar is higher than the greenback, here in Australia the price looks to be AU$599.
The console is due to release before the end of the year both here and abroad.
The Kinect Star Wars game uses the Kinect controller-free system: the player performs body movements to control vehicles like the X-Wing and Pod Racer, use hands to use the Force to lift or throw on-screen objects, swing arms for lightsaber actions, use voice commands and jump to perform on-screen leaps.

Personally i think this is by far the best value-for-money buy for the xbox platform. Not only do you get a new special casing iconised with the Star Wars franchise, but you get a Kinect unit, game, special controller for a little more than the 250 gig Kinect Bundle.
For anyone wanting to get into the platform, or those who are just hell-bent on having any type of Collectors/Limited Edition piece of kit, this one would have to be The One to get.
I’ll seriously be looking at nabbing one of these, but it’ll have to be pre-ordered asap, as I do believe that they will be limited quantity of these compared to other units on the shelf (to a certain number of course)
We have the Gears 3 Unit on sale around the same time as well, and I believe there’s the possibility of another high profile franchise doing a special console edition. – But nothings concrete on that game yet – yet!
Does the pope wear robes (edited), i can’t resist a special edition console especially one as cool as this so yes i will be buying it
