Halo: Reach Xbox 360 Bundle Announced!

AshMan says…

Halo has been one of those defining video games for the Xbox 360. Since the original launch in 2005 Halo has taken gamers on a journey with Master Chief to save the world from the Covenant. The success of the game and its great universe has spawned novels which one their own have been very successful.

The latest and final release from Bungie is Halo: Reach, which actually covers the events from the novel Halo: The Fall of Reach. However you follow the perspective of a Spartan team who is on the ground on Reach.

The game looks fantastic and following in tradition of Halo 2 and Halo 3 a limited edition of the Xbox 360 is being released to celebrate the game. The console is a special silver version feature the same internals as the newly redesigned console. It also is bundled with two matching silver controllers and a copy of the Halo: Reach Standard Edition.

The Australian pricing of the limited edition console is $549, and from what I’ve seen. It is worth every penny! It simply looks awesome.
