Microsoft Launches Xbox Halo Bundle

Posted by simoniker on from the green-and-mean dept.

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."

    "Microsoft is only releasing 200,000 of the boxed sets."

    Looks like they decided to release one green Xbox for every Xbox they've managed to sell in Japan.

    Since when is 200,000 a limited edition?
