What a rip off. It dont come with the Halo 3 game? wow so basicly you are paying for a stupid looking paint job. Its not even good looking. This would look ugly in my entertainnt center. Please dont anyone waste your money on this ugly monster. If u have the cash put it toward the elite, or just get the premium one.
I rember the NO reaction and dead silence to the anouncment of this at E3. how can they call this a Halo 3 edition with out the game? i could see it probaly worth it bundled with the game. What a rip off moneysoft. i hope this sits on shelfs. its Damn ugly. look at it!. No one can argue that.
My xbox 360 is great and i play it daily, but this is not worth the extra $$.

I remember the dead silence as well. I guess Microsoft learned that Halo fans aren’t so crazy to buy ugly versions of the console they probably already own just because it’s a “Halo Edition”.
