Kinect Star Wars is heading to Microsoft’s Xbox 360 later this year and it looks like Microsoft will be releasing a limited edition Xbox 360 console which is bound to appeal to all the Star Wars fans.
The limited edition Xbox 360 will be designed after everyone’s favourite Astromech droid, R2-D2, and whilst the console won’t look like R2-D2, it will feature an R2-D2 color scheme.
The console will feature a blue and white paint job, and it will come with Microsoft’s Kinect, which will also get an R2-D2 paint job and a copy of Kinect Star Wars.
Features and Design
The R2-D2 themed Xbox 360 console is not just about aesthetics; it also includes some unique features that make it a must-have for collectors and fans alike. The console will have custom sounds from the Star Wars universe, such as R2-D2’s beeps and boops, which will play during startup and when the disc tray is ejected. This adds an extra layer of immersion for fans who want to feel like they are part of the Star Wars galaxy.
In addition to the console itself, the bundle will include a C-3PO-themed Xbox 360 wireless controller. The controller will have a shiny gold finish, reminiscent of the iconic protocol droid, making it a perfect companion to the R2-D2 console. This attention to detail shows Microsoft’s commitment to creating a truly unique and memorable product for Star Wars enthusiasts.
Gameplay and Experience
Kinect Star Wars promises to deliver an engaging and interactive experience for players. Utilizing the Kinect sensor, players will be able to control their in-game characters using physical movements, making it feel as though they are wielding a lightsaber or using the Force. The game will feature various modes, including a story-driven campaign, podracing, and even a dance-off mode where players can groove to Star Wars-themed music.
The inclusion of the Kinect sensor in the limited edition bundle ensures that players have everything they need to fully enjoy the game right out of the box. The Kinect sensor’s R2-D2 paint job further enhances the overall theme and makes it a cohesive package.
There are no details on when it will go on sale and how much it will retail for as yet. However, given the level of detail and the additional components included in the bundle, it is expected to be a premium offering. Fans should keep an eye out for announcements from Microsoft regarding the release date and pricing.
The anticipation for Kinect Star Wars and the limited edition Xbox 360 console is building, and it is clear that Microsoft is aiming to create a memorable experience for Star Wars fans. Whether you are a long-time fan of the franchise or a newcomer, this bundle offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the Star Wars universe in a way that has never been possible before.
