Xbox 360 Console Halo 3 Special Edition @ Amazon

[displacedtexan]

Xbox 360 Console Halo 3 Special Edition  is now available at Amazon for 399.99.  With BioShock and Halo 3 on the way, it's time for me to take the plunge...

I have only seen it at available for pre-order at Gamestop, and they wanted like $17 shipping and over $40 for tax.  Amazon is free shipping and no tax!!

Anyone else getting one?

What are the specs?  ie harddrive size, type of video connections and so forth.

For $399 I'd guess that it's a new HDMI Premium.

All you have to do is click the link.  The Amazon page says that it has HDMI and a 20 GB hard drive.

I'm part of the tiny majority that likes it.    I do think a Halo themed 360 similar to the faceplate that was released several months ago with some Master Chief artwork on the sides would have been more well-received.

i think that the 360 is pretty ugly to begin with . . . or at the very least bland.  But I did see a woodgrain panel for it that changed everything quite a while ago.  I think it was even an official MS-made panel.

So, yeah. I think this halo themed thing is ugly, but I at least think it's more interesting than the stock design.  But, frankly, I would be embarrassed to own it for the same reasons I would be embarrassed to have a Halo poster on my living room wall.

They're on closeout at the local TRU for $2.00 along with the silver and "hot rod" versions.

Heh.  I almost feel like I should buy one simply because there's a pretty good chance that I'll own a 360 eventually and if I did I would want to have that faceplate, but if it's on closeout it probably means I won't be able to find it by the time I have a 360.  Not that I'm going to get one; I'm not.  But I almost feel like I should.
