Microsoft has responded to rumours that it is to introduce an R2-D2-themed Xbox 360 onto the market - in cheeky fashion.

When asked about the rumour, an MS spokesperson told CVG: "As you know, rumours are rumours and we don't comment on them. May the force be with you."
A sly nod to some exciting Star Wars-related news to come - or a mere dismissal?
We've certainly got our fingers crossed that the rumours are true. One can never have too much Star Wars memorabilia. Unless it's Jar-Jar Binks, naturally.

If this thing ends up looking like that Donald Duck Gears of War case the world would be seriously p**sed off with a case that has googly eyes and giant ears. It's more than likely even if true just to be some painted design on it. But how awesome (but terribly annoying after a while) would it be if it beeped like R2 whenever you ejected the tray?

Cool idea for an xbox, shame the Kinect game looks like utter b*****ks though

I think they're looking at this wrong. instead of a r2d2 xbox why not an r2d2 kinect.

You won't have to buy the game to get the xbox so does it matter if it looks b*****ks or not?
