This might have been surprising if we didn't know about it over a month ago.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN RROD 360s COME BACK TO LIFE AS ZOMBIES!!!!!!!

That said, the bundle should include a special firearm peripheral so you can put the system down when it starts trying to eat your brain.

Looks pretty slick. Though I'd rather have a black elite model. I would love to get a red controller though. I miss having a variety of colored controllers like the good ol' N64.

The red controller is available separately and has been for a while.

I agree. I have a transparent green and a transparent purple N64 controller, along with gray and red.

I really wanted one of the special gold ones.


Thanks for the controller link, Flames.

Real Nintendo fans got their gold controllers by pre-ordering Majora's Mask.

But I pre-ordered Majora and only got the holo-box and gold-holo-cart...I got ripped.

Is this the best they could do?  I mean, a red console?  Whooopee.  You'd think they could at least put some cool art on it.

These consoles should be pretty stable, actually.  They're likely Jaspers so they should be pretty cool running.  Only took MS four years to get it right.

This doesn't top the officially licensed Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles third party Zapper clone with official Umbrella sticker on the gun.

Yeah MS consoles are lame with special editions, now the PS3 RE5 and Yakuza 3  PS3 are sexy. Hell the Japanese RE5 PS3 bundle gives you two controllers so you will be ready for co-op, in Japan sometimes 360 bundles with games DON'T EVEN COME WITH A HARD DRIVE!

Why does the PS3 controller still look exactly the same as both the PS2 controller and the PS1 controller before it?
