Announced this evening in Hollywood, California, at the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 press event, you can now look forward to a very special new purchase if you are a Call of Duty fan. This limited edition Xbox 360 is beautifully skinned and comes with a 250 GB hard drive, two wireless controllers, and a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
The price has been confirmed at $399, and apparently, Gamestop (and other retailers) are already taking pre-orders in the U.S. right now. As soon as we find out more on that, we'll let you know. In the meantime, take a look at a few pics from the event in the gallery (check out those Modern Warfare 2 headphones!). Is this something that would appeal to you, or are you perfectly happy with your solid color console?

Also, if this means I can upgrade my current hard drive by putting in a reasonably priced 250gb HDD and the xbox taking it, then I'm happy.
and i bet it doesn't have hd cables either. jsut for the lulz.
i'm content with my 120 gig elite atm.
Now, a Mass Effect 2 console, on the other hand...
Well, no, still wouldn't buy it. Sorry.
The horror!
epic meh.
I need to lie down.
Seriously, I have no idea how you'd fill a 250 gb one up. Videos maybe? But if I wanted videos, I'd just stream them from my TB external HDD.
I understand where you see value, in fact there is. It's just I don't see the 360 being worth $350(including 1 year live membership)
If I could get a 250gb 360 with MW2, 2 controllers, headset, and a 1+year live membership, I'd be willing to pay $300.
The system has been out a long time, I'm buying a shorter lifespan than originally garaunteed, and hardware upgrades should not presuppose that a discounted price shouldn't still be mandatory. It's the same price as it was when it was first launched.
Just doesn't make alot of sense to me. Who are they targeting with this? Hardcore pre-existing 360 owners who need to buy a new one cause the old one broke? Because I don't see this attracting new audiences nor the $300 elite.
Even if it is a good value if you want an Xbox 360 and all those things I just don't see the market for it, and I don't think this is the time for MS to put out a console with a higher pricepoint than the PS3 when they don't even have a Blu-ray drive in it.
How's that?
Seriously, I've got nothing.
Plus it looks kind of sexy.
Cool.
RROD isn't a factor anymore, fanboy. Try something else next time you failtroll.
If we keep harping on about this for the next 6 months, maybe it'll happen.
I hope my elite doesnt die. Its my third 360 , i really hope it lasts till 720.
Well an idiot and his money are soon parted, go get em Call'o'dooty boys and girls, Hoo-Rah!.
extra controller, 250gb hard drive and the game
