Star Wars Xbox 360 Console Will Have Fans Drooling (and Opening Their Wallets): "
Later this year, gamers and Star Wars fans will be able to get their hands on what might very well be the coolest limited edition system -- Xbox 360 or otherwise -- ever produced. Launching alongside Kinect Star Wars this holiday is the Xbox 360 Limited Kinect Star Wars Bundle, a package that includes an Xbox 360 system made to look like R2-D2.
Beyond the (supremely awesome) look of the console, there's more to it: R2-D2 sounds are played when powering it on or ejecting the disc tray (hear those here and here, courtesy of Major Nelson). According to Gizmodo, the disc tray hides a secret message -- the first time anything has been put there by Microsoft -- which reads, 'Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.'
The included Kinect ditches the existing black color scheme in favor of white to match the system, and the accompanying wireless controller is a shiny gold with what looks like exposed wires meant to resemble C-3PO.
