That limited edition Halo Reach console that leaked overnight has been confirmed by Microsoft.
The limited edition bundle comes with a silver Xbox 360 slim console, 250GB hard drive, two silver Halo Reach wireless controllers, a silver Halo Reach headset, and the standard edition of Halo Reach.
It’ll retail for $AU549 RRP (and $NZ599) and launch on September 15, the day after Halo Reach launches.
Official Xbox blog InsiderX notes that: “The console makes a Halo-themed sound when you turn it on, and the shield power-up sound when you press the eject button.”
Personally I’d prefer the confetti sound when you pop a grunt’s head, but I’m just being picky.

Friday, July 23, 2010 at 12:45 PMWait. So we’re getting Reach on the 15th? I thought it was the 14th. Have we been pushed back a day? Main reason I ask is because the 14th is my birthday, and I’m eagerly awaiting it :)

MODIFIED
Any word on this?

Friday, July 23, 2010 at 12:59 PMI just had a look at the link too. Red dead redemption says modified and so does the dlc as well! i didnt know they modified it?
Chris Guerin
Friday, July 23, 2010 at 2:37 PMIf this is true, I will be sorely disappointed, If it’s modified like Left 4 Dead 2, there will be outrage!

Friday, July 23, 2010 at 12:53 PMDecisions, decisions. I’m tempted to cancel my Reach preorder and just get this instead. Was planning on getting a 360 Slim near the end of the year anyways. But I still wants my Legendary edition.

Friday, July 23, 2010 at 12:55 PMSounds cool. But any more details about a kinetic bundle with the 250GB console? Cause i will get this if they dont have one coming out
Denaz
Friday, July 23, 2010 at 12:55 PMMeh, looks cheap. I’ll wait for something better I think :)

Friday, July 23, 2010 at 12:56 PMThat’s actually damn good value???

Friday, July 23, 2010 at 1:28 PMHey David, Major Nelson updated his twitter with this piece of information; “BTW: The Halo: Reach console makes a Halo inspired sound when you turn it on, and another one (shield power up) when you eject the drive”
David Wildgoose
Friday, July 23, 2010 at 1:39 PMI must’ve seen that the same time as you. I’ve updated the post.
Christopher Rossetti
Friday, July 23, 2010 at 2:10 PMBtw any info on the 250GB kinetic bundle that you were talking to microsoft about?
Andrew Burdusel
Friday, July 23, 2010 at 2:45 PMI’ve got a great idea. Everyone send me $50, I’ll buy this bundle. And you can all enjoy it vicariously through me.

Friday, July 23, 2010 at 2:51 PMThat doesn’t look like a bad deal at all – two wireless controllers, the game, a silver console w/ 250gb HDD and a headset. Not for me though.
Steven Bogos
Friday, July 23, 2010 at 5:56 PMVERY tempting! I’m still using an old 20gig launch xbox 360 (that somehow still works!) and have been meaning to upgrade. This could be it, since i’m not really interested in the collector’s editions of Halo Reach. I hope my wallet can handle it!

Friday, July 23, 2010 at 9:53 PMHey thats actually a rly good deal, only problem (for me) is this darn HSC that prevents me from buying anything 100+ until November T.T.
Hope its still in stock by then >.>

Friday, July 23, 2010 at 9:55 PMBah would you still get the release day hat? :/
