Its themed, and as much as I hate Halo 3, the thing looks pretty cool. I love olive drab, and that orange just defines it.

and hilariously, this sku doesn't even come with the Halo game.
how will Microsoft justify the 50 bucks premium?
"well, there's an extra coat of paint and some detailing work"????
Give your own royal fans a break, MS.

It has a wireless headset ($60 retail) instead of a wired headset, HDMI ($?), Play n' Charge kit($15), and an themed color scheme.
Do you read the article, or just skim the title to decide which of 4 tired arguments you will regurgitate in the comments section?

You should probably read the article yourself because it does NOT come with a wireless headset. If it did you'd actually be getting a deal.

@OGHowie
Did YOU comprehend the article?
"With that extra [$50], you get an HDMI port, a headset, a Spartan green-and-gold finish (for console, controller and headset) and a Play and Charge Kit"

I just tasted something unpleasant in my mouth. I'm all for Halo but what were they thinking? Eww.

I'm sorry, I'm not going to fork over $50 more for a new paint job.

This has even less appeal to me than the price dropped premium. I still don't know what games I would even like either.

Perhaps MS should throw in a Play n' Charge kit, HDMI, and a wireless headset to sweeten the pot. Fucking seriously are you people totally dense or just posting retarded comments to get attention. I wonder sometimes. Hopefully my sarcasm detector is just off tonight.

But damn are they raping people for that headset. Didn't Sony sell a headset for the same price with Warhawk (or the other way around, rather)?
One of the 360's sole flaws, those accessory prices (the only other accessory that badly priced is the $20 piece of plastic and analogue stick that is the nunchuk)

Wow, that is fugly in my opinion. And they actually are charging more for that then the premium and it doesn't come with a game? Oh MS, you are always good for a laugh..

Were you talking to me, please use the reply button next time. Oh, and can you point out where I said that the 360 doesn't have any good games too? You sound like a moron with sand in your vagina like that. All I was saying is that Microsoft shouldn't be playing with the charge $50 more for a paint job that doesn't make the system look that much better. The 360 is an excellant system, but I can't get one right now, so get off my case.

remember - xbox 360 users aren't concerned about the look of a console or how it fits in with an existing home theater setup. A power brick the size of a tank, a cheap iMac/iPod look and the worst cooling unit in the history of mankind make the 360 a home theater enthusiast tremble.
This version of the 360 proves my point that they don't care what it looks like - as long as it sells to the fanboys willing to pay anything. Maybe the boys over in Iraq will like it because it blends in with all their gear. I'm surprised MS hasn't put a "support our troops" logos all over the console in a bid to sell more of them. ;)

By the way- The 360 has no games worth playing that aren't also coming to PS3 or PC. Even Halo 3 will inevitably see a PC port. Sorry to break the news to the 12 million people that actually paid for this thing.
And you know what? This color is actually appropriate, because it IS essentially a giant piece of crap.

Fugly for sure... but $50 premium!? HELLO PEOPLE! This is how much the premium system has cost for almost 2 years now. So, for the same price you get HMDI.
Personally, I think this is the ugliest 360 available but I don't see the price as being a problem for those that like it -- it's the same price 360s have always been (and will be until August 8th).
