Microsoft pays tribute to Star Wars with limited edition Xbox 360

Play Kinect Star Wars with this R2, C-3PO-themed console.

Today at Comic-Con, Microsoft debuted its limited edition Star Wars themed Xbox 360. The console pays homage to R2-D2 while the controller is a tribute to C-3PO. And there’s more to the set that meets the eye: The astromech droid’s signature sounds will be woven into the console functions. You can take a listen at the previous link.

The unveiling comes hot on the heels of the Kinect Star Wars game, which uses the motion-based gaming technology to give players an immersive Star Wars experience. Developers also said a pod-racing feature will be included in the Kinect game. It’s the closest you’re ever going to get to wielding a light saber or piloting a pod racer.

The limited edition console will go on sale this holiday season for $449.99 and will come packaged with a white Kinect, the Kinect Star Wars, Kinect Adventures, and a 360 wired headset. It runs a 320 GB hard drive as well “exclusive downloadable content,” which Microsoft did not detail.

Thats looks so cool. Always liked R2D2

We ordered one for the boy for his Christmas present. Now we have to hope it's out by Christmas, lol.

I would love a Boba Fett looking console. His helmet antenae for WiFi.

Or a real hairy Chewbacca one... that growls!
