Microsoft and Activision have announced the Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 limited edition console.

The companies say the sequel to the first-person action game "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare", is the inspiration for the console's "high-speed, low-drag, battle-ready design", which will be available exclusively at GAME and GAMESTATION.

The console will go on sale when "Modern Warfare 2" is released on 10 November and features a 250GB hard drive, two Xbox 360 wireless controllers, an Xbox 360 headset and a copy of the game.

In the UK, the Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 limited edition console will be sold exclusively at GAME but pricing is yet to be confirmed.

  • i cant find the console for sale anywhere, has anyone found ti to pre order? Posted by michael, UK
  • Try the game website if ur from the UK Posted by Andy, UK
  • So it's "high-speed, low-drag, battle-ready design" is down to it being an Elite, but with blacked out chrome bits and grey doodling all over it? Posted by Matt, Wales, UK
  • The RE5 one was nicer, I got that when our boring white one was robbed. I liked how it wasn't plastered in decals and logos, it was just smooth red and looks very sexy to me.
    Im not really impressed with this myself, it looks like the black one with grey writing on it, it'll date too quickly.

  • Its not just "Black with Grey decals" you idiots, it also has a 250gb Hard drive. Though i'd add that for the morons on here who seem to be both unable to read and have the inability to be able to view anything new without slagging off the creator and the vendor selling it. What a bunch of muppets!!! Posted by bolton9190, United Kingdom
  • This is so sexy i hope to get one for xmas

  • £229.99 with a £20.00 deposit paid, only game will sell this version at the mo. My lovely part paying as an X-mass pressy. Posted by mike, uk
  • Its actually quite good value for money if you check the price of each individual item. I was originally going to upgrade my xbox to an elite but this was fair enough price so bought it. Posted by Matt, UK
  • it has a 250g hard drive a extra controller ans the game all that added up would be a least $500. so i think this is a very good deal if you add it all up. i already pre ordered mine and i cant wait for it to come! Posted by iwillenszu, USA
  • The americans always have larger quantities than Britain. There is only 1 UK website that sells it, and its not even on the website anymore!
    You see loads of stores that sell it in america. Its stupid! Its exactly what they did with the prestige edition, only one UK website stocked it and it sold out in 2 weeks HMV. BUT americans get more for some reason.

  • its not jst black with a 250gb it has a 65nm gpu and cpu = less heat = less chance of the rrod? but the noise will be dropped to. overall good console in side? Posted by lyo., uk
  • If you are looking for the console, then you can mod your current xbox 360 instantly. You can buy faceplates and WHOLE side plates (not stickers) on the internet making it look like this. All you have to do then to make it EXACTLY the same would be to get the 250gb hdd. Simply put, this IS a ripoff and there is no point to it. it would have cost the manufacturers as low as £1 more to create compared to the elite, (not including hdd) Posted by Pete, england
  • just tell u that its sold out in uk Posted by mitch, uk
  • i cant wait to pre order the new modern warfare 2 xbox 360 console it will be proper class it has 250 gb and probably i wont even use it all cant wait to pre order it in england Posted by thomas wilshank, england
  • muahahahaha! im from the U.S.A. And it is soooooo easy to find this xbox. I pity you blokes across the pond. :) Posted by nick, United States
  • BACK IN STOCK IN GAME I BOUGHT ONE LAST NIGHT CHECK GAME WEBSITE BE QUICK Posted by SAM, uk
  • @ pete : you can't get 250gb hdd's for the xbox. not now that microsoft are banning anyone who wants to use an external (other manufacturers) hdd, also it would cost you more to buy a regular xbox and 'mod' it to look like that than it would just buying the bloody thing.

    looks awesome! so want one!
