At the recent Comic-Con event in San Diego, 343, the latest studio to develop the next video game in the popular Halo franchise announced with a little help from Microsoft that there will be a limited edition Halo 4 Xbox 360, decked out and designed with Halo geeks in mind.
The special console which has a hard disk space bump to 360gb is due to be launched for sale on November 6, features custom blue, white and grey graphics, 2 wireless controllers and a wired headset. The console itself also receives a nifty paint job too, to match the rest of the accessories.
One pleasing point is that the usual green LED lights on the console and controllers have been replaced with a cool neon blue. It's a shame that us normal gamers don't have the ability to change our lights too (without cracking the case open and modding it ourselves).
Along with the hardware, a copy of Halo 4 is also in the box, as is some special coupons or codes that will allow you to buy in-game items to customise your virtual Halo Marine avatar. The points can also be used to download content from the Xbox Live Marketplace, which includes games, movies and music.
Will you be getting this console to celebrate the next bout of Halo greatness? Only if you have $399 laying around. I guess the real target market will be hardcore fans or newcomers to the Halo and Master Chief universe. See you in the fight, soldier!
