Microsoft Launches Xbox Halo Bundle

Thanks to GameSpot for its article discussing Microsoft's announcement of a limited-edition Halo bundle for the Xbox. The article explains that "the company unveiled a 'limited-edition retail special' which bundles the the award-winning, Bungie-developed shooter Halo with a translucent green Xbox and S-controller for $169." Following the recent standalone Xbox price drop to $149, the green console is "the same color as the debug kit Xboxes used by Microsoft game testers and a limited-edition console issued in Europe last year", and the article also notes: "Microsoft is only releasing 200,000 of the boxed sets."

IMO the transparent green Xbox is the ugliest console ever made. Yes, it even beats the cheap Playstation 2 Silver edition (where they couldn't be bothered to make things like the power button silver, so they stick out like a sore thumb instead, plus the silver colour seems really tacky.) I have a green controller (Microsoft sold them separately in Europe for a while after the green limited edition) but I really wouldn't want a green box. The green just seems to be too dark a shade of green for me to take.

Now the crystal Xbox (the current European special edition), that looks sweet, I wish I'd held out for one of them, although I can probably get a controller when it comes out, and my black box fits in better with my TV etc. (and the Megadrive (Genesis) sitting on top of it) anyway...

But nothing will stop me from getting a Sakura Wars Dreamcast -Pink and Grey, a perfect combination. :-)
