While most limited edition versions of popular consoles tend to tread a line between pointless (at best) or a hideously recoloured monstrosity antagonistically mocking your living room decor, Microsoft may have struck gold with it’s newly announced console bundle to coincide with the release of Star Wars: Kinect due to hit stores just in time for Christmas.


Based on the iconic colour scheme of R2D2, and featuring an impressive array of in-box extras including a white Kinect Sensor, a C3PO controller, an Xbox Live headset, exclusive downloadable content, and the Star Wars: Kinect game, this oculd be one console repackage that might be worth looking in to.


While cynics might suggest that a cheap vinyl sticker set would accomplish the same aesthetic effect, the deal sealer (for this correspondant at least), is the fact that the system itself will feature custom R2D2 sound effects. It can’t just be me that’s excited by this, surely readers?
