Ohh great a red console and red controller to go along with the many many red rings of death ive had…3 total in 2 years….guess ms decided to make it a complete set

Is the game in there too?

Wow that is…kinda ugly? But I like the sound of a premium theme. Any idea if this is for Europe as well as the US Major?

Yes. It includes RE5. In fact you also get Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix.

Oops. Sorry. Didn’t see the list.

Epic… lol over used right! I need a link to where I can pre order this beauty!

Can we get a pic of what it looks like in the real world?

Not to be picky but I would of liked to see a better faceplate. I know they have kind of died out but I would think throw in a special one for this.

I bought the red controller and love it… Im most definately buying one of these… I would like an order link thugh… checked bestbuy and toysrus and no dice…

@TwilightWolf 77

I’m assuming the color palate is the same as the “Gears of War 2″ red controller, because it seems that’s the controller they are bundling it with. If you haven’t seen the controller IRL, it’s a very, for lack of a better explanation, red. I was pleasantly surprised when I got mine in the mail (controller, not limited ed. xbox lol.)

@MadamTampini
I don’t think the red controllers shipped to the UK. Correct me if I’m wrong but I never saw them. That said I’ve googled the controller, and from real world shots; it looks cool. Hopefully the Xbox will be the same then.

Will this be released in Europe?

Looks sharp! If I didn’t laready have an Xbox 360, this would make be bite.

So this is essentially a red Elite, with two free games (and a theme)? AND for the same price?

Sweet deal!

and just in case noo i dont think this with come with the zombie red ring… just in case someone ask major…

major you know what would been a cherry on top for that hav the umbrella logo on it or biohazerd logo on the side where the xbox 360 logo is

looks very nice, hope it make it over to the UK

great looking system and great value too,
buying it on day one hehe.

Man that looks nice, it’s going to be hard to resist myself from buying this unnecessary extra console.

Why not include a red wireless mic instead of wired?

Looks hot. Well, red-hot. But I already have a 360 with a 120 GB HD.

awesome
I wanna have one

Nice to see a Resi 5 console bundle but the colour is shockingly bad! Of course they will sell out anyway so what does it matter lol!?

This would be a nice addition! A limited game exclusive console with the Limited Edition Box! When was the last one we had? I believe it was the Halo 3 Limited Edition Xbox 360 console wasn’t it?

is this available in the uk?

@WoozyDan25

It will be available in Germany.
I think it will be available in the UK too

Can’t find where to pre order it : (

That’s sick. RE5 and Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. I won’t get the console, but that is a cool console. Maybe the next one should be Halo 3: ODST.

“Supplies are very limited”, huh? Isn’t that what Microsoft said about the “Limited Edition”, Master-Chief-Green Halo 3 Xbox 360 bundle? And I’m still seeing those in Best Buy years later…

I would love to pick one of these up though, my room is red and black and I love how the RE5 360 looks… plus its a GREAT deal, Elite console, +120 GB HDD, +RE5 and Street Fighter 2? The value on it is amazing, and I’ve been waiting for a reason to upgrade to a 120 GB HDD…. Too bad I already have 2 360s. Maybe it’s time to make a bundle of my own to sell, so I can get some money to cash in for this baby!

I wonder if the RROD will still be red?

That is a great value for only $399. The Elite cost the same price without RE5.

that is pretty bad – who would buy this a red 360 – just trying to shuffle some of those expensive 360 red controllers so Microsoft isn’t stuck with them cause they don’t sell.

Looks very nice ; )

Really nice bundle, but I’m not digging the ‘all red’. Resident Evil = Scary + Blood x Death = Exciting Thrills! Blood splatter like: http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/1316538/2/istockphoto_1316538-blood-splatter-background.jpg or http://radprofile.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/blood-splatter1.jpg (minus the myspace details) or a ‘pure white’ casing with the Umbrella Corporation stamped on it (http://scifipatch.bizland.com/REVIL03.jpg). Or even something like: http://www.maxcostumes.com/images/Product/medium/35001.png as a skin to go on top of it. Very nice bundle though.

woo, the games the biggest pile of donkey crap going, updated visuals but dated game play. not worth a special edition console.

I really like it, great color!

It’s good to LE consoles, I hope there will be more in the future. I also wonder if we will ever see a Crystal Xbox like we did for the original many years ago?

Cmon, this red looks more like a “Wierd pink” than really red per say.
By far this is the UGLYEST xbox ever made. The normal xbox(basic white) is way more interesting than this one

Looks great, but the 360 looks kinda like the Gears 2 one, lol.

I want this, SOOOOOO BADDDDD.

Sweet colour. Would like to have seen one of those chainsaw controller things too (like a smaller version of the PS2 one).

Looks really cool; will be pre-ordering one today!

@AnV iRey: This should have come out with Gears 2. I bet they would have made a lot of money. Now, not so much with all the Gears 2 issues.

I still feel the original looks the best though because all the accessories match it .

Will there be any special graphic or identifying marker on the console itself (kinda how the RE5 PS3 bundle will feature the Biohazard name and Tricell logo emblazoned on the console itself.)

Can already order them from Futureshop online.

If I didn’t love/own my sexy Black Elite already, I would be all over this bundle. This is a great bang for your money. This is truly a bundle with free add-ons. The Black elite is 399.99 normally so getting RE5 (59.99), Super Street fighter II Turbo HD remix (1200 points} and a premium theme (250 points) this is a great way to break into Xbox if your the last few people that haven’t joined the movement yet.

Nice, an even better reason to upgrade to the Elite.
The red will go nice with everything else in my house.

It is already available for pre-order in Canada

Wow, that’s pretty good. You get all that for no extra on the price? That’s pretty sweet! If I had a “modern designed” living room where that red would look nice, I might consider it.

VS VeNoM SHOT: Yeah, you can buy that for like 49 bucks or less now! :V

Eeeee….I love it!!!!

Console available now in Ring of Death Red!!! Get it while it’s Red Hot! Etc… JK! I’m a 360 Fanboy even if I did have multiple problems with multiple consoles. This is a nice deal for anyone looking to get a 360.

Wow thats an awesome console, and awesome deal. Not only are you getting RE5 but SF II HD Remix, and all kinds of other things.

i don’t like it red. a more custom paint job would have been nice.

@Tyke666 get to a doctor asap, you might have a concussion if you think that looks pink.

To the next person who mentions the rrod, PLEASE do us all a favor and beat yourself to death with your 360.

As far as I know, Toys R Us and Gamestop will have these up for pre-order, if not already up.

Watch out for old stock Put in a new case

My mate got a GOW2 Bundle and it was 843x on the box
but 821 inside

It seems microsoft uses the bundle consoles to shift old stock
It will be harder with the red case but i would check to make sure

Dont just expect it to be a jasper

A small point… The article on Engaget said that you get a red headset. I assume you have it staright and the headset is actually black?

Looks nice, but I prefer the black Elite. Will they be doing those with the same RE5 + SF remix etc?

One more thing, tenuously related to this post. Has the preloaded content changed? I ask this as I am looking to get an Elite, once, Jasper hits, and wondered if it is still the same as the stuff MS first included.

Many thanks

PS…

Still no ReVolt though. C’mon guys it was the first game across Live.

I went to my local GameStop today and they said they have it available for pre-order now.

Anywhere online to pre-order?

Best Buy and Amazon both have them for Pre-Order…. as an FYI

How if it came with internal wifi it would be perfect

WiFi is pretty useless on the 360 IMHO… well, at least if you use it as a Media Center Extender it is… WAY laggy for me.

It does look ok, but i think the elite’s black is nicer just for the reason that it matches my ps3 and black LCD TV

Insert Red Ring joke here. It looks “ok” and worth 400 for a new user or an owner of an old Arcade console. I don’t see too many people buying a new console for this.

Since I forgot to mention it earlier, GameStop has it available for pre-order online now too.

Will it be a Jasper?

I’m curious the same as ExtremeGamer. If it is a Jasper, i would definitely consider such a purchase. I just so happened to exercise my product replacement plan at best buy recently, and have a gift card waiting to buy another one. I may wait for the RED, if I can find out it is Jasper.

Will this controller have the new D-Pad?

I’m thinking about buying this bundle since I don’t currently own a 360.

SWEET i put my order in about 5 min ago @ gamestop….

Very sexy console. I hope they can spice it up with an umbrella logo faceplate. How boss would that be?

I want this console so bad, even if just for the Red/Black Controller. Which is unavailible for us European people.

Hopefully I can pre-order it for the Netherlands soon as I want this console bundle REAL bad. Red/Black is all me

i wish it was not only red, but had a graphic on it similar to the extremly limited edition simpsons xbox.

Soooo…
Tempting…

Major Nelson, just curious, you showed the power brick in the unboxing vid “for those of use who want to see it” but you didn’t mention what voltage it was. So is it 12.1? In other words will these elites be jaspers? I have mine preordered, to upgrade my current pro to elite, but will only do so if it is Jasper…

Cheers
