SDCC 2011: Kinect Star Wars 360 bundle announced
Posted: 22.07.2011 03:13 by JonahFalcon Comments: 5
Microsoft and LucasArts announced at San Diego Comic Con 2011 a brand new Xbox 360/Kinect bundle that will not only include a free copy of Kinect Star Wars along with the standard Kinect Adventures title, but will feature an Xbox 360 R2-D2 color scheme, an Xbox 360 wireless controller with a C3-PO color scheme, and a white Kinect sensor. If that weren't enough, the modded 360 has customized sound effects; it whirs and beeps like R2-D2. Even more important to serious Xbox 360 owners, the bundle will include a 320GB hard drive.


This is the first customized Xbox 360/Kinect bundle, with the rare white Kinect sensor - one wonders if Microsoft will release a white Kinect on its own in the future, or other color schemes like red or blue.

The bundle will cost $449.00, and is now available for pre-order from Amazon.com. The bundle is not due to be released until this coming Holiday season.

I wonder if the r2-d2 beeps can be turned off, could get annoying after a while lol (this coming from a huge star wars fan)

I doubt it will be continuous, imagine it starting in the middle of an emotional scene. "No, Ezio, I am your mothe-BEEP tweedle tweedle beeeep"
Not sure about the game itself, judging by the E3 footage. That R2 casing does look pretty sweet, though :3

It has that sickly banana yellow, making it white/blue color scheme would fit better.
