Microsoft Releasing 250GB Xbox 360 For Modern Warfare 2

Infinity Ward announced at a press event in Los Angeles today that, to commemorate the release of the game, Microsoft will be releasing a brand new model of the Xbox 360 based on Modern Warfare 2.

Beginning with the game's worldwide release on November 10, eager fans of the franchise can arm themselves with the limited edition Xbox 360, which will feature a custom black case design inspired by the game, a 250GB hard drive, two wireless controllers, an Xbox 360 headset, and a standard edition copy of the Modern Warfare 2 game.

"It’s thrilling to bring the exclusive Modern Warfare 2-inspired Xbox 360 console to Call of Duty fans," Adam Pollington, Xbox 360 Category Manager for Australia and New Zealand said. "Being able to work so closely with the talented team at Infinity Ward on the design has enabled us to develop a console that will set bragging rights around the world. These fans deserve the biggest Xbox 360 console ever."

Pollington also said the first two Modern Warfare 2 maps to be released will be available first on Xbox Live.

The Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 limited edition console will be sold in Europe, the Middle East, UK, US, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Australia and New Zealand and retail in the US for US$399 and Australia for A$599. In the UK, the console will retail exclusively in Game and Gamestation stores.



For $100 more than the current 120GB Elite, you get 130 more gigs, a $60 game, and a extra $50 controller. Not a bad deal at all.
