Hey, look what was dropped off at New York City office of Marc Ecko's Complex magazine -- a fancy limited-edition Grand Theft Auto IV-themed Xbox 360!
It looks like this limited run of 500 custom consoles is only being sent to press to generate hype, so if you're thinking about picking one up at EB Games, you're out of luck. While the system is simply an Elite that's been given a glossy coat of paint, branded with GTA IV cover art, and numbered, it does look pretty slick. The console also came with a shiny metallic box filled with peripherals like the Xbox LIVE Vision Camera and the universal remote, both of which will come in handy when playing Grand Theft Auto IV.
I'm not going to lie -- I'm kind of jealous. Hey Rockstar and Microsoft, you have my address. Can I get console number 127? I haven't played it yet, but I'm pretty sure Grand Theft Auto IV on the Xbox 360 is like, so much better than it is on the PlayStation 3. I think we can work out a 12 out of 10 review score here ...
Feel free to drool over the other images found on the Complex blog, but watch the rugs -- we just had them shampooed.

Can I has 360 now?
Well I guess the live camera is kinda obvious, but the remote?
lucky me I have the adorable tiny remote that came with launch units. my friends remote is one of those huge ones. I cant imagine playing that game with that huge ass thing
I dunno, that sounds just kinda like a waste to me. $200,000, not counting the cost of the artwork and shipping 500 consoles out, for press hype you've already got.
*shrug*
I'd take one if offered, though. Being a cblogger at Destructoid counts as being a member of the gaming press, right?
The cell phone would be a lot better if it worked like the one for No More Heroes. I might have looked like agoffball but holding the wiimote up to my ear like a phone always made me giggle a little bit out of joy
Also, LOL @ redzie.
Does that mean I get an extended warranty for free.
too plain and underwhelming.i give it a d+
it's just another stupit cash grabbing gimmick buy the Microsoft Clan.
Also, I didn't read the title carefully at first and I thought it meant the 360 wasn't getting the limited edition version of the game and I was pissed for approximately 2.4 seconds.
This is definitely a 'LIMITED' edition, since we can't purchase it.
Not that I'd buy one.

Would have looked better with different art... who wants a cover for a console?
like I said... sell it for a bazillion.
