$450!

I know it's meant to be an R2 inspired console design, but it looks just like that nasty Clone Wars cartoon packaging.

A Vader console would have been awesome, yes we already have black but they could have printed some nice artwork over the top and feature the breathing sound effect when you open the disk drive.

Edit: $449 sounds about right, considering the base 250GB and kinect bundle on amazon goes for $399.

But look at it. Look...at...it!

White Kinect sensor bar, that pad is amazing...the console. Oh ****...how am I going to hide this from the wife?

(Was that okay to post our link btw, if not, apologies)

But then you'd have to have a RRoD as soon as you turned on!!

The C3PO controller is very nice, I agree the console sides look Clone Wars-ee but the front is great. Are the custom sounds the beeps R2 makes? I'm not usually a fan of white but the kinect looks rather slick.

Is this only for America? It's one of those ones you can feel will be rare in the future and a collectors item. I'd certainly love one.

I don't even care about Star Wars but that is so hot.

I wish the controller matched though.

I really like the idea of a Star Wars console, but I'm not 100% sure on this. It looks kinda cheap. I'd still very much like it, and yes it's a shame the pad isn't R2 as well.

[EvilBoris]

That is pretty amazing, Star Wars is over rated , but I do love the robots!

What is this flash slideshow trickery?

There's a flickr stream tag [flickr-] (without the -)
The upgrade this morning seems to have killed all the buttons for the custom tags though. They used to be in the quick reply window but even when you click go advanced and see them still there, they are the wrong size and all try and do vbulletin's default youtube tag Bum.

Hi-de-ous!!!

Just, no, Microsoft, no!!

[Friction]

It needs custom sounds like the Halo one and Gears of War one... R2 beeps when you turn it on and open the tray would make it rather special....

What a hideous looking console
