Microsoft has announced a limited edition Halo: Reach themed Xbox 360 Slim. The new system will come with a 250GB HDD, two Reach themed controllers and a copy of Halo: Reach. The bundle will also include a token for the limited edition Elite armor, an episode of Halo Legends and a Halo: Reach themed wired headset. The system will also feature custom sound effects from the Halo universe which is, uh, neat I guess. The Halo: Reach limited edition console will be available on September 14 for $399.
Microsoft will also have a limited addition controller and wireless headset themed after Halo: Reach on sale starting in late August. The controller will retail for $59.99 and the headset will go for $49.99.

The black one is way better looking.
This. You crazy, Jimbo!
Thanks for taking the usual dullard route and giving it a "derp derp derp shit game it sucks lolz"
Black was waaay better.
Nothing wrong with liking Halo. I think it's a pretty solid franchise. Not really my cup o' tea, but all good games.
I'm digging the controller too, but the gray isn't as flattering on the console as the black imo. Would much rather have the regular slim.
You have no idea the mental fortitude it takes for us Xbots to part with our money with full knowledge that we will not see an equal return. Something you Sony fanboys would never have the balls to do. It's called opulence, don't be mad just because you're poor.
But on-topic, I agree with what appears to be the non-idiotic sentiment that the controllers look dope and the console looks so-so. I was planning on getting Reach and hoping on getting a new 360. Maybe this deal will see a happy marriage.
Also, what SonicTHP said.
Every time I start playing a game.
This is probably the greatest typo I have ever seen. Seriously though, nice lookin' controller.
I'd even consider getting one if my current 360 red ringed.
I figure some people upgrade their iphone every year...why can't i upgrade my xbox every 3?
Hope they release more bundles by the time I decide to buy one.
There is sooooooooo much fail in that comment it's not even funny.
The sarcasm doesn't alleviate the fail?
:(
a)I like to collect things
b)I don't own a slim
c)I enjoy limited editions.
So everyone who said only Xbots would buy this are dead wrong, as one person (me) has just proved.
My sarcasm detector must be broken this morning. I thought you were serious.
My bad. :D
Looks better than generic black, though I don't have the money to get it.
I take your troll bait, and shall follow through with it.
"Don't worry 360 fanboys I'm sure if Microsoft ever stops riding the one exclusive they have they'll celebrate with more over priced Halo merchandise for 13 year old boys without jobs to bug they're parents to buy LMAOIYSF!!!"
Fixed.
