Or you could just paint your own for like, $20.

BS like this is why the avg American is ass deep in debt. Constant spending on non-appreciating "assets" like "collectors edition" anything.

Damn I really dislike all the designs for the Halo 3 merchandise, it's either simply green or an ugly artwork like the controllers.

I'd much rather simply buy those Halo 3 skins, look much better then this crap.

So will this have the 65nm?

65nm??????????????????????

??????????????????????65nm

That's all i want to know. I don't care about the gamerpics or the color or any of that. I just want to know, DOES IT HAVE 65nm? I've been waiting what seems like FOREVER for 65nm. C'mon Joystiq, use those awesome reporting skills and find out for us!!!

IGN says it doesn't have 65nm.
http://gear.ign.com/articles/820/820465p1.html

They don't list a source however. So it's a little suspect.

It would be excellent if Joystiq could investigate this, but I'm sure they don't want to jeopardize their relationship w/ MS. If it isn't 65nm that's not going to create any positive sales for them & MS might not be too happy Joystiq made it public.

IGN on the other hand is owned by NewsCorp which is a heavy supporter of Blu-ray (& helped develop BD+, so they're probably the strongest supporter of BR besides Sony itself). An increase in PS3 sales over 360 sales would only benefit them. This is also the reason why a report it's not 65nm w/ no supporting source is a little suspect.

Take it for what it is.

I love the color green, it's my favorite color. But that is seriously one ugly console.

Um, it's Army olive green. There's a reason for that color. It's called "a theme".

Yea, but for Halo, a sci-fi with a lot of vibrant colours and designs, making the merchandise a human military/marine theme seems pretty damn dull to me.

Yeah, as a PC gamer, that thing is nowhere NEAR tacky enough. I mean there no cold cathode tubes or laser LEDs anywhere on that thing!

I think it looks kinda' cool, but I really can't stand anything that is themed. It just makes the product look dated and tacky in my opinion.

It looks ok, they should of done more with the console and the marketing stragety. At least a 40 gig or something.

You're asking if it's worth it to pay the same amount that you assuredly paid for your 360s to get more?! This is a new SKU for a console that has barriers in front of owning multiple consoles. It's not meant for people who already have a 360, unless they're collectors. It doesn't come with Halo 3 because most fans of Halo had already pre-ordered the game when this was announced. Green is sexy. And maybe it comes with a hidden feature of active camo, so you can hide it when your potential-mate comes over.

It doesn't make sense to bundle the Halo3 game with this console. There's the Standard Edition, Collector's Edition, and Legendary Edition. What if the console came bundled with the standard edition, but you wanted to buy the legendary edition?

It's all about choice. Chances are people who buy this console will end up buying Halo3 anyways so it's more money in the pocket for Microsoft.

what if I am, already, not a virgin? will it guarantee my divorce? ;)

if I were looking for an Xbox360 then I would buy this one, considering it looks different and, most importantly, includes play-and-charge kit. The inclusion of a game like Halo 3 would've made this one a sure deal from me.

Can anyone prove that these colors are actually in the games? If not, it makes no sense in terms of branding.

let me tell you a story about jimmy.
jimmy loved halo, and is super excited for halo 3.
little jimmy went to the store to get halo 3, and decided to buy the 130$ dollar legendary edition, the halo 3 xbox, both special comtrollers, a halo 3 headset, an action figure, a spnkr missle controller case, and on the way home, stopped at 7-11, got a halo 3 slushee, in a halo 3 cup, which there is 3 different editons of. (collect them all!)
later that day jimmy got aids, and bill gates came over to his house and took him away to his super mega mansion, (where gold toilets are laced with million dollar bills) and used jimmy as a welcome mat.
you see, you can help people like jimmy, by joining the fund to totally make half life 3 now.
after all, cant bill gates do without another small country?
