I'm freaking out, you guys. It's like they're tapped into my mind.

It even beeps.

That's pretty sweet.  The controller I think could be better, but the wire-midriff is cool.

Do you think some nicely printed decals and a stick of glue could satisfy your lust, 005?

"They're my movies." -George Lucas. 19 people won oscars for their work on Star Wars (1977) and George Lucas wasn't one of them.

You will not. None of us will, except for a very old and dying Ziggy Stardust who will watch it through teary eyes as he remembers us all.

My microwave is white...and it beeps when my food is done. Does that count?

The controller isn't a lady's man and doesn't get on with the console.

I would buy it, but I wish it did something cool, like beeping like R2D2.

I may have to get this. I need an Xbox anyway.

RE: Star Wars Xbox 360

This almost makes me interested in getting a 360...

Weird that they'd do this, though, when the only Star Wars game on 360 worth playing is full of LEGO (not counting the original XBox backwards compatability).

To help the analysis further, take a look at these close ups of Obi-Wan's beard -- STENDEC

They're trying to promote "Kinect Star Wars" by making a Star Wars Kinect system.

I'd agree, though I'd make it plural, as I thought LEGO Star Wars III was pretty fantastic regardless of the fact that I've never seen more than a single episode of The Clone Wars nor have any interest to.

The Force Unleashed titles have been really good sellers too. But yeah, like 005 said, it is for the Kinect Star Wars game, which is suppose to be an extremely big deal and move a lot of Kinect units. So MS already has a lot of eggs invested in it, a move like this holiday bundle will only serve to increase desirability in the Kinect and Kinect Star Wars to a very large population of Star Wars fans who are not already 360 owners. Definitely a pretty smooth marketing move, IMHO.

 

So, it is bundled with a Kinect. I wonder if after all that work in making a fancy themed system, if it is just your standard black Kinect, or if they took the time to make it unique like the system and controller? I suppose if they had it would have been included in the photo.

The link I posted shows the Kinect. It's just white. They wanted to put a Star Wars logo on it, but decided against it.

Hi, long time reader of the thread, second time poster.

Can I turn off the beeping?

RE: Star Wars Xbox 360

I think so. I probably would, honestly.

I'm still very enthused, I'm just calming down.

It's up for preorder now:

December 31? Hardly a holiday release, but that would give me my Birthday and Christmas money to put toward it if I'm serious about getting it.
