Microsoft has announced that a limited edition Star Wars Xbox 360 console will go on sale later this year to celebrate the launch of Kinect Star Wars.
Announced on Thursday during a panel presentation at the 41st annual Comic-Con International, Microsoft and LucasArts unveiled the first custom Xbox 360 console with Kinect featuring a limited edition Star Wars theme inspired by the beloved duo R2-D2 and C-3PO, as well as the brand-new Podracing mode featured in the upcoming title Kinect Star Wars.
This first ever custom Xbox 360 and Kinect bundle includes an R2-D2 blue-and-white themed console, a custom Xbox 360 Wireless Controller inspired by C-3PO and a matching white Kinect sensor and is likely to be on any Star Wars fan's wish list once they see it.
