Halo 3 Xbox 360 priced and dated for Europe

Set for the September 26 release alongside the highly anticipated launch of Halo 3, the Xbox 360 Halo 3 Special Edition console has been given an estimated retail price of £279.99 (€399).

The whole bundle will be packed with the following features:

  • 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

Some of you may be thinking “Humph, something doesn’t look quite right.” The thing you’re looking for on the list can be nothing else but the game itself. In that case, let us refresh your memories: back at E3, Microsoft specifically mentioned that the game wouldn’t be featured in the special editon.

Why would Microsoft release a Halo 3-themed console and not throw in the game itself for good measure is beyond us. The thing that makes their decision all the less comprehensible is today’s price cut of both the Premium and Core packages, along with the release of the Elite which boasts the larger 120 GB hard drive for only £20 (€50) more. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

it probably doesn’t come with the game so that the people who want the console and the legendary can have both, and the people who want limited and the console can get both, etc
