Rumour: Silver 360Slim coming for Halo Reach? [UPDATE - CONFIRMED]

[Rossa AU]

It appears someone over at Microsoft had a bit of an 'uh-ohhhh' moment, although at the rate these "accidents" happen, you can't be blamed for thinking almost every leak is done on purpose to build hype. Even if that's true, this is one very interesting and hype-building leak indeed. Ignoring the fact that it's a halo branded console, it is after all, a SILVER 360Slim; something not yet seen or even hinted at. Is this silver console the future of special edition game bundles? Only time will tell.

Soon after this "accident", the listing not surprisingly disappeared, but when it was up it showed some good info as you can see. What we know so far is that it will be US$399.99, and by my estimates i am guessing that will mean it will be the 250GB version, with Halo Reach included and the special limited edition controller (maybe 2?). The Halo Reach limited edition controller (image here) (news story here), was also leaked alongside this bundle for the normal US$60 price. Both the console and controller showed a September 14th release date, the same as Halo Reach.

All this comes in a timely fashion as well, because Bungie is at Comic-Con this week; so is this something they had planned to announce to the world? Guess we will see. What are everyone's thoughts? Like i said ignoring the fact it's a Halo bundle, do you like the 360Slim in silver? or do you rather it in black?

Part of me still prefers the slim in black though

That looks farken terrible... Black slim ftw.

[Linkwick]

It looks like a Foxtel IQ box!! I'd rather the black version. And it's been announced as $549 - strange when the normal one is $450 and the standard version of the game shouldn't be much more than $100 or so.

I like the sound effect changes (a Halo one on start-up an shield recharging sound when opening/closing the DVD tray) but that's about it.

[Anchorman Mazda]

Yeah, I find the shiny black finish much better. The noise effects would be cool, but not $100 more cool.

Black FTW

Silver controller = YES

Silver console... = NO.
Silver is great, but too much is black now... reminds me of the early VCR's

I agree. I quite like the look of the controller and i need a new one because the left stick on my current one is fucked.....so i may just get one. The console i can't say i like in silver either

Prefer the black... hopefully though (although I doubt it) it will drop the black slims price...

A little close to the release of the black slim for that to happen i recon. A few limited edition 360's have come out for the 360 and from memory none of them have directly affected the price of proper versions

After finally completing my AV / HTS collection in all black - not a hope in hell I would buy this

[Pidgeo]

will happily take one for free
