CONFIRMED: MS Releasing Halo: Reach Console Bundle

CONFIRMED: MS Releasing Halo: Reach Console Bundle

And it's silver!

Written by Saint Devourer on 22 July 10 at 22:11

Updated story: Major Nelson has just announced that there will be a $400 Halo: Reach Console Bundle for release. It will be released on the same date as the rest of the Halo: Reach editions hit the shelves.

Blurb from Major Nelson:
Designed by Bungie, the Xbox 360 Limited Edition Halo: Reach Bundle includes all the features of the newly designed Xbox 360 console, such as a 250 GB Hard Drive and the fastest built-in Wi-fi. Additionally, you’ll receive two Limited Edition Wireless Controllers and a standard edition copy of Halo:Reach. The bundle will be available for US $399 in limited quantities and only while supplies last.

Original story: It seems someone over at Microsoft slipped up today, and accidentally put a listing up for a new version of the brand new Xbox 360 S, but this one looks different. It's silver, with Halo: Reach detailing, and looks to be bundled with Halo: Reach (obviously) It also shares the release date of Halo: Reach, September 14th, 2010.

This is likely to be similarly done to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction, and Final Fantasy XIII bundles that were released this year, and will most likely come with two wireless controllers, both in the same finish as the console.

Either way, nothing is official yet. We'll update you with the specifics when (and if) Microsoft announces the console officially.

Halo: Reach is due out September 14th, 2010.

If true then getting fed up with these special edition consoles, its just about making more money out of existing 360 owners. At the end of the day all these types of consoles have one thing in common....they play games which is the most important part regardless what colour, logos etc are on it.

The special edition FFXIII was 399 as well, I don't see why the fuss. If you think about it, two controllers are 100 bucks, the game is 60, and the system is 249. It comes with a 250GB hard drive most likely, so you're actually saving a few bucks over buying everything new.
I put the goo in the giggidy giggidy.

if it comes with the 250 GB HDD, it is only $100 more. Halo:Reach,possibly 2 controllers is $150+ alone!

People who already bought the 360s are going to be a little pissed when they see this! (that is, if they want it)
I am a cynic, so it becomes a challenge every day to be happy for once.

$400, but it comes with Reach. Silver looks awesome, but I want the Legendary, so it doesn't matter that I already have the shiny black.

I may consider this if Gamestop does a great trade-in deal for the original Slim and i can swap HDD or something

The silver console looks a lot better than the black one, for sure! Maybe some time in the future they'll go full circle and release a white 360S, then I'll care.

Yeah, I do like the Silver; but I think White looked the best. Black was great for the original Xbox, but white for the 360 just fit better. Oh well; I'm not gonna complain about my S!
