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.

Kinect Pricing Announced for Aus!

AshMan says…

Kinect (aka Project Natal) has had its pricing confirmed for Australia. Microsoft also announced its Arcade replacement model called the Xbox 360 4GB.

The Xbox 360 4GB has the same features as the new Xbox 360 however instead of a 250GB hard drive it features 4GB of internal flash memory and instead of a shiny finish, it will come with a matte finish. This may seem a little small, however don’t forget the old Arcade only came with 512MB of internal flash memory.

The pricing for Kinect is $199 and it includes the motion sensing device as well as Kinect Adventures which is a full game. A bundle has also been announced with the Xbox 360 4GB, Kinect and Kinect Adventures for $449.

Kinect Adventures includes 20 different game modes as well as support for two players at the same time. You can also swap in and out instantly in a game. As well as Kinect Adventures launching, there will be 15 other titles launching.

I’m yet to play with Kinect myself but am looking forward to the chance hopefully in the near future!

Let me know what you think of Kinect in the comment section below :)
