The Kinect Sensor it is not being left out, it will be Stormtrooper-White. Overall it adds for a gorgeous design. The Xbox 360 will have a 320GB hard-drive inside. The outside of the Xbox is awesome, the R2-D2 design is really cool. It was announced at Comic-Con earlier today. The Bundle comes with 2(two) games, “Kinect Adventures” and “Kinect Star Wars”. “Kinect Star Wars” will immerse the player into the world of Star Wars. You will physically experience “Jedi-Traning” and use the force; as well as a lightsaber. Of course you will use your whole body, not a controller. David Dennis ,group program manager for Xbox, had to say this, “There were probably a few Star Wars fans in the audience who can’t wait to become the Jedi with their trusted droids C-3PO and R2D2 alongside. Rabid Star Wars fans tend to congregate at Comic-Con, so we decided to announce there and geek out right alongside some of the biggest fans around,”. He also explained the amount of attention that was put into the details of the design, “The Xbox team worked closely with LucasArts to ensure the Kinect game and Xbox hardware faithfully captured the details, characters and themes of the Star Wars universe,”. Denis ended with is, “For the biggest fans, Star Wars was a franchise you literally grew up with over 10 years. We’ve all had countless mock lightsaber duels with friends. This game is the first time you get to become a Jedi in the Star Wars universe on your own TV, and it’s going to be awesome,”. So as you can see people are very excited about getting there hands on the game and on the entire new limited edition Xbox 360 Bundle.
