Video Games : Xbox 360 Console Halo 3 Special Edition (with HDMI) |
- Awesome! Well worth the extra 50 bucks. I actually got this as a gift for my little brother. He's going to be 9 years old in a month, and he's LOVING this xbox!
With the price drop on the pro 360 combos from 399 to 349, I was wondering how much different (aside from the color scheme) this system could be to justify spending the extra 50 bucks. Well, aside from the spartan green color scheme (Which is awesome, by the way) and the matching control and headset... this system also includes an HDMI output port which I believe was only included on the Xbox 360 elite systems and not the standard units. It also comes with a play & charge kit out of the box. The play & Charge kit is a GREAT little device. It's basically a rechargeable battery pack with a USB cable, and when your wireless controller battery starts to run low all you need to do is plug one end of the cable into the controller and the other end into one of the xbox usb ports and the controller actually charges while you're playing. No removing old batteries and replacing them.. just plug the usb cable in and you can continue playing wired until the battery finishes charging. I thought this was such a cool thing to have that I actually went out and bought myself a play & charge kit. It's much better than having regular rechargeable AA batteries and swapping them out whenever one set needs to be charged.
Another cool little extra is the custom halo 3 dashboard skins, and gamer pictures that are included. All you have to do is get on xbox live once you create (or recover) your gamertag, and input the codes that are included in the xbox documentation and there you have your custom skin and gamer pics.
Overall, i think this is a great looking system and he hasn't encountered any problems with it yet! He loves playing Halo 3, ace combat 6, and a bunch of other stuff like that. I'm actually jealous because I've got just the plain old white 'pro' system... which is basically the same, but no HDMI.
This system is really nice! If you're a Halo fan, and you're planning on getting a 360... I would definitely recommend this one! It may be 50 bucks more than the regular system, but it's worth it.

- Xbox 360 is Great but Beware NOT FALCON CHIPSETFirst of all let me tell you that this is a great Console,i've been enjoying it since day 1, Halo 3 is great fun, and best if you play it online, plus the console has a great line up coming in, just beware this is not a Falcon Chipset Console, at least mine isn't, i bought mine on Dec-02-07 and had a manufacturing date of Aug-11-07.

- Awesome systemThis is a great system. I like the Halo edition because it is the one that is updated, which is supposed to be less prone to problems than the first generation Xbox 360's.
The design and color scheme are pretty cool on the Halo edition.
I think it's a little weak that they have this whole Halo edition, and it doesn't come with Halo. Just my opinion though. The PS3 Motorstorm version comes with, guess what, Motorstorm.
This package does not come with HDMI cable connections. You have to buy that separately. It does come with a RGB out cable though which works fine.

- Microsoft SUCKS! But........ AMAZON ROCKS!.I ordered the XBox 360 Halo 3 Special Edition for my son, arrived quickly,
He played it a total of 5 times and the unit locked up. After a couple of grueling conversations with Microsoft it was determined that the power converter was bad. They gave me a work order number and asked that I send it to my local repair facility for repairs, but weren't sure that this was going to fix the problem. I asked if they were going to send me a pre-paid mailing lable and was informed that "NO We won't pay shipping to the repair facility, but we will repair it for free." I couldn't believe it, we paid 400.00 for this over priced gaming unit which worked for all of 5 days, only to be told that I had to pay shipping to have it repaired. You would think that a company as large as Microsoft, that makes as much money as they do would at least pay the shipping to warranty thier products. But no dice. After being thoroughly pissed off by Microsoft, I remembered reading some reviews where people had some problems with items bought on Amazon, and had returned/exchanged them.
I called Amazon, explained the problem and within minutes had my return shipping lable emailed to me, and was told that they would exchange or refund the item (MY CHOICE) NO QUESTIONS ASKED! AMAZON YOU ROCK!!!! Microsoft on the other hand......I wouldn't trade them for a warm bucket of spit......
