Limited Edition Star Wars Xbox Revealed
Written Thursday, July 21, 2011 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

Lucasarts and Microsoft have today unveiled the Limited Edition Star Wars Xbox 360 Slim console, inspired by the lovable R2-D2 and C-3PO, with an R2-styled unit with matching white Kinect sensor and a gold C-3PO controller with wiring detail on the underside.

The first ever custom Xbox 360 Kinect Bundle, the Limited Edition Kinect Star Wars bundle is available to pre-order now and will debut alongside the launch of the game in holiday 2011. Here's everything you'll get in the box:

  • Kinect Star Wars game
  • Custom R2-D2-themed Xbox 360 Console with custom sounds
  • White Kinect Sensor
  • Custom C-3PO-themed Xbox 360 Wireless Controller
  • 320 GB Hard Drive
  • Xbox 360 Wired Headset
  • Kinect Adventures game
  • Exclusive downloadable content

Using full-body tracking for its lightsaber-wielding action, Kinect Star Wars will also feature a Podracing Mode, revealed at Comic-Con, which will have you racing against the surviving participants of the Boonta Eve race in The Phantom Menace, arguably the best sequence in that mess of a movie. Take a look at the Limited Edition Kinect Star Wars Bundle below, then read our lightsaber-on preview of the game.

I could care less that I'm first, but getting to the point...This XBOX looks awesome and so does the remote and white kinect. All I'm interested to know is how much is it because the 250G Xbox and kinect bundle is 399.99 and this Xbox has 320G, not 250. All in all, as long as it's not substantially more $ than I might consider buying this, as I need a new Xbox. All in all, pretty freakin sweet!

R2D2 console is pure win in my opinion.

That gold controller is nice...but its going to look like a mess after 1 usage from oily greasy hands...not to mention its probably going to be chipping fairly quickly

I'd like to see if those are indeed stickers or a custom case. Either way the white Kinect sensor does look much nicer to me. I do need a new Xbox but I don't think I'll wait until the holidays though. I wonder how the grip is on the controller. It looks really shiny and probably slippery. It does look a little out of place next to the stark white of the console too.

Everything in that picture is tacky. The gold controller, the white and blue 360, even the purple game box looks disgusting.

@Goldyman77: Obviously you could indeed care less, because if you didn't care at all about being first, you wouldn't have mentioned it. You don't need to keep reminding us that you care about being first though, we got it.
Oh, you meant "couldn't care less"? Well yes, normally that's what people mean, but since you obviously do care about it then you actually did mean that you could care less, because you clearly care about being first.

Anyone remember when they announced the reach console and the power on sound was suppose to sound like the shield recharge? And then when you got it home it sounded sort of like the recharge from the first game.
The console looks neat but if someone wants it the would have to get rid of their old console and their kinect senor just to get a new one.
But, if you want to piss your money away, go for it.

Well, No. 5, Star Wars Kinect is indeed targeting 8y/o children.

The golden controller is certainly the best-looking item in the box, and it is... shite.

If I were buying a Xbox 360 right now I would wait for the GOW3 one. That should be the last Xbox 360 to be released. I'm a HUGE Star Wars nerd, but this just doesn't look good. Its too bright and I would be happy if Microsoft would be spending all of the resources on making these towards another new system. Just my two cents.

Also, I've never seen any special xbox here in any store ever (The Netherlands), it's like anything special is always US UK and sometimes Germany only. Like with the Halo reach console.

Dear God I'm getting a divorce for sure... it was going to be hard enough to justify buying a 14th Xbox (Gears system) but now I'm going to have to justify a 14th and 15th... at least Kinect, the Star Wars game, and the 320GB HD will help with the argument but ohhh OMG how can I not purchase that beautiful, beautiful thing.

LMAO... @360Sonygamer (love the tag) it is more than a gaming system, it has Hulu, Netflix, Zune, and Last.fm :D and I've not been through 13 systems I have 13 systems

4 in each of the kids bedrooms; 3 in the family room (US/PAL/Japanese); 2 in my office (US/Japanese) and 1 in the kitchen, basement, living room, and my bedroom = 13 total systems... if I count all the RROD/E74 I've well over 20 systems purchased.

@4,10 If you could care less, than why point it out? Unless...... You do care and thought instead of the usual "FIRST!!1!1!", you'd try to be more subtle and say I'm first but I don't care. Go back to youtube kid.

Price found and full details of package.

Microsoft just revealed a new R2D2-styled Xbox 360 Kinect bundle at Comic-Con, in honor of Star Wars Kinect. The Xbox has a special R2D2 look and custom console sounds, and is bundled with a gold, C3P0-style controller (Oh, my!) and an all-white Kinect. It also includes Star Wars Kinect, Kinect Adventures, and a 320GB hard drive!

The bundle will be out this fall. Pre-orders for the $449 bundle are expected to begin today.

Hopefully that gold controller will be sold separately. I can put stickers on my Xbox myself if I'm so inclined, thank you.

IF you buy this you are a total idiot.
The original 360 was white and you all complained at how dull and crap it looked next to your T.V's so they brought out a sleek looking black one which sold like hot cakes and now you want this.
You people are damn right retarded to think this looks good, i could put a new case on my ps1 and i bet you would buy it for a fortune thinking it was better because its "newer".
However the pad is O.K but im not paying out my ass to buy the whole thing just to get the pad.

Looks sweet, I would have preferred a Slave 1 Xbox with a carbonite frozen Han Solo Kinect sensor and a Boba Fett themed controller but I am a little biased. I for one will probably be picking this up, the sounds from artoo are just to classic.

Guess sound effects is the new big thing for custom consoles now -- not saying it's bad, just wouldn't be my first guess. This looks pretty awesome, though I think I'll stick to the GoW one, just because I already have a kinect, and I don't like the white console much, part of the reason I'm getting rid of mine. I like the control, and I'll probably end up getting the game by itself too.

@92 I wouldn't count on Battlefront 3, people have been wanting it for a while, with little to no information on it.

I promised never to buy another 360 after my second died on me, and while this does have me considering going back on my word (Star Wars is my favourite movie of all time), I can't imagine myself dropping more than $200 on this gimmick. I don't need Kinect, I don't need the Kinect games, I don't need a 320GB hard drive (I did just fine with my 60GB). I'd consider it if I could buy just the console (and MAYBE the controller) for at least 50% off the original price, but I otherwise can't see this in my future at all.

Yeah agree the C-3P0 gold controller and r2-d2 360 looks great but the boring white looking kinect looks dull as hell, maybe it has the star wars logo on the top or something. Custom sounds ? would of been awesome if when the kinect does its tilting it made the r2-d2 styled bleeps.

And agree the phantom menace pod-race was without a question the best moment in that entire mess of a movie, love the two alien sports commentaters 'I don't care what planet your from, that's gotta hurt'.

I'm curious to see how the game turns out, like I am with the news they're featuring unique kinect features in Halo CE:A and MAss Effect 3. It's only taken them 12 months to use the damned hardware on interesting games.

Just my luck, as soon as I finally buy a new console with a 250 GB HDD they start making consoles with a 320 GB HDD. Anyway back on topic, I think the white camera is pretty slick and the controller isn't too bad but the purple against the white makes the console look weird. Also I think it's a little funny that they're still bundling it with Kinect Adventures since it comes with the Star Wars game

Seriously, can't people check the negativity at the door? That's what's wrong with kids today, they were never taught "If you don't have anything NICE to say, DON'T say anything at all". The console looks great and I'm looking forward to HEARING R2 when I power on my console. I knew there was a reason I've waited so long to get a Kinect, and it just presented itself. The gold controller takes me back to the days when I was the only one who had the gold controller for N64 :) Microsoft, this is the right thing to do. Pre-order here I come. It's funny how Mr. Lucas keeps finding ways to take my money. Really, George, just call me and I'll give you access to my bank account so you can bill me personally :P

I don't mind the Pod Race but it's drawn out in my opinion. The best scenes in Phantom Menace involve lightsabers. Qui Gon Jinn/Darth Maul quick skirmish in the desert and Qui Gon & Obi-Wan/Darth Maul climax battle. When they walk up and Maul busts out his dual saber and Duel of the Fates kicks on. Priceless.

I will probably buy this, as I've been waiting for a new 360 console themed in one of the genre that I like (Star Wars & Halo). I didn't care for the silver Halo Reach console, but this white console will look GREAT next to my HD-DVD add-on drive for the Xbox 360!

Of course... if they come out with a clear green Xbox 360 console for the Halo CE Anniversary (with 320 GB HD, matching controller, and a copy of the game)... I'll get that instead (it'll look great on the shelf above my Halo Special Edition Original Xbox)!!!

May The Force Be With You.

P.S. If you people like the console, but not the Kinect stuff... just sell the parts you don't want. Stop griping about it! Just don't expect to sell the console later on, without all the accessories, and get a good price.

i like the idea of custom sounds i assume it will be R2's beebs when you switch on/off. its a pity that you are unable to download custom sounds for your xbox including when friends notifications pop up ect, be cool having gears, fable, halo ect custom sounds. Also bigger HDD im hoping they release a 500GB seperate sometime in the future with the amount of games i install and DLC/movies ect that i download would be handy.

@4 Couldn't! If you could care less that implies that you do care about said topic. Idiot. Also, as pointed out, you really don't need to tell everyone that your post is the first (even when it's not). Kinda makes you look like even more of a div.

OT: I think the white looks pretty cool but will look out of place on most peoples black TV sets. I'll stick with my black set up.

Should have been Boba Fett themed; shape it like the Slave-1. Or the Millenium Falcon. R2-D2 is a boss but he's not the coolest colour scheme in the star wars universe.

As a huge Star Wars fan, I am extremely tempted by this, but it is a hell of a lot of money.

"Kinect Star Wars will also feature a Podracing Mode, revealed at Comic-Con" it was in the trailer from E3, so not exactly revealed at Comic-Con.

What is with the terrible use of the phrase 'I could care less' ..

the correct terminology has always been 'I couldn't care less'

with 'I could care less' implying that one cares enough to be able to care even less.

Whoever started making it seem like it's okay to use the latter can DO ONE

I saw this at the San Diego Comicon and it looks great. I even asked one of the guys at the Star Wars Kinect booth about the design of the console and controller. The R2D2 design are NOT decals, stickers or painted on, they're part of the actual case. It's not purple and white, it's R2D2 themed, so it's blue and white and looks pretty cool.

The normally green power light will now be blue and the added R2D2 sounds make it even better. The gold controller has designs you can't see in the picture. Where you would plug in your headset, it looks to have exposed wire just like C3PO. I was told they may make that gray section more "rubbery" like you're touching C3PO's internals (no dirty joke intended). I asked if they might make the normal green light on the controller yellow to match C3PO and, unfortunately, he didn't know if they would.

Even if you already own a Kinect, you can always sell the white one in this bundle, and you can get your $150 back.

While I admit, a Darth Vader themed console would be spectacular, R2D2 works, too. Personally, I'm stoked and already preordered it.
