E3 2007: Microsoft Unveils Halo 3 Themed Special Edition Xbox 360

E3 2007: Microsoft Unveils Halo 3 Themed Special Edition Xbox 360 It’s only the first day of E3 and we already have a story that I guarantee will win the CB Games award for “WTF Moment of the Show.” Microsoft has announced that there will be a new addition to the myriad of options available to consumers considering a purchase of the Xbox 360. Coming this fall they will be putting out a special edition Halo 3 themed Xbox 360.

The unit will be available this September, and will presumably coincide directly with the release of the game. No pricing information was made public at the event. The unit (as you can see) comes in a green and gold finish, and is engraved with forerunner styled designs and emblems of all variety. Furthermore it comes with a large assortment of Halo 3 themed goodies.

So why is this so bizarre and WTF worthy? I’ll show you exactly why. This is a list of what comes included:

- Halo 3 Special Edition Console
- Halo 3 Special Edition Wireless Controller
- Halo 3 Special Edition 20GB Hard Drive
- Halo 3 Special Edition Wired Headset
- Halo 3 Special Edition Gamer Pics and Theme (Exclusive download via Xbox LIVE)
- Component HD AV Cable
- Ethernet Cable
- HDMI Port
- Play & Charge Kit
- Xbox LIVE Silver Membership
- One-month Lbox LIVE Gold Membership
- Halo 3 game not included--sold separately

What the F***!? Oh…excuse I mean (calmly, and in a whispery voice) WTF!? The special edition Halo 3 console…doesn’t come with Halo 3. This is utterly ridiculous. My best guess as to why it’s not included? It’s because MS doesn’t want it mucking up their Halo 3 sales numbers. They want to take Harry Potter head on again for the title of the best day in entertainment history. It’s not going to happen guys, just get over it and include the damn game.

    I think it's sweet, I don't really care if the game doesn't come with it and maybe another reason for it not to be included would be because the magical price cut I have been waiting for would finally be true? (Well I would be suprise they would price cut the special edition Halo 3 but you never know, the pro package would still make my day!!)

    If no price cut by the time thise baby is out I am just going to buy the Halo 3 Special edition unless it's more expesive...

  1. Hal Howell Says:

    I had the Halo 2 edition of the XBOX and traded it in on my 360. I should have known they would do this. However, the face plate is replaceable and I thought that was so we could "update" or customize the appearance. I already have the Halo faceplate and will not be going for the Halo 3 edition. Its too much money to do all these trade-ins. By the way for all those who are going to rush out and trade in their current system thinking the Halo 3 will be worth more later on, beware. The most I got for my new condition Halo 2 edition was $80.00. Yep, that's it, $80. Get it because you like it, get it because you think it looks cool BUT don't get it thinking its going to go up in value. When the next XBOX xxx comes out, the Halo 3 edition will be worth the same as any other XBOX 360 come trade in time.
