September 26 will see Microsoft release the Halo 3 Special Edition Xbox 360, which will set you back £279.99.
The special edition console sports a Spartan green and gold finish, and in the pack you'll get the machine along with:
- Halo 3 Special Edition Wireless Controller
- Halo 3 Special Edition 20GB Hard Drive
- Halo 3 Special Edition Wired Headset
- Halo 3 Special Edition Gamer Pics and Theme (Exclusive download via Xbox LIVE)
- Component HD AV Cable
- Ethernet Cable
- HDMI Port
- Play & Charge Kit
- Xbox LIVE Silver Membership
- One-month Xbox LIVE Gold Membership
What? No Halo 3 game? Nope - a Microsoft spokesperson has confirmed with us that there's no Halo 3 game included with the Special Edition console. D'oh! And we're disappointed that it's only the 20GB hard drive as opposed to the new 120GB HDD.
ZoomFor £20 more you could get the extra 100GB on your hard drive by buying the Xbox 360 Elite, which is £299.99.
On its own, the 120GB HDD costs £129.99.
Microsoft has of course recently announced a price cut for the Core and Premium Xbox 360 packages, the former now costing £179.99 (down 20 quid) and the latter £249.99 (down from £279.99). The new prices are effective as of tomorrow.
