Looks like that red Resident Evil 5 Xbox 360 bundle wasn't just some tripped out figment of your imagination. Just moments ago, the package popped up for Xbox Live subscribers, detailing a handsome red Xbox 360 Elite with a 120GB hard drive, Resident Evil 5, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, and a few other odds and ends (like a handful of cables). There's an indication that you can pre-order the kit, but at this point, we're not aware of any place to follow through. We'll keep our eyes peeled, of course.

I'm seriously thinking to move into Consoles with this.

I'm not too mush into the Red though, but, it certainly make a change.

If it's a Jasper board, it will go well with the red :p (A Jasper pebble is usually red)

^ ha never thought about the pebble but I want it becuase of the jasper.

My xbox is under warranty but I dont want to wait 2 weeks for fan replacement / dvd replacement which is covered since i paid for teh 1 yr warranty. I probably get this then send mine in.

Yuck, they could have at least added wireless to make it slightly more desirable!

I don't even think the inclusion of a wireless adaptor would make this any more desirable to me :x

But each to their own I guess.

They should have done a jet black 360, with the umbrella logo! Kind of like the PS3 one, but with a better logo - PS3 doesn't look that great either, but it's better than bright red. Capcom officially suck at designing hardware!

Although I think someone said Umbrella isn't in RE5, or they've changed or something. I can't really remember how RE4 ended :laugh: Someone care to explain? What's the logo above even for?

I don't think it looks to bad. Much much better than the Halo one and IMHO based on that pic I probably dare say I like it more than the Elite given I'm not nuts on the mat-black. Had the elite been a sharper black it'd be a different story, but I find it pretty ordinary as it is.

Personally I really like the original white still.

Well they know who the buyers are just like now when the Elite is black. They get an easy increase in margin. I guess this also might be the sure way of getting a Jasper Elite since the old ones just aren't selling through quick enough. I really like the red controller but the console is a bit much.

thats one ugly colour...they could have made the console look a lot better, just like when they came out with the halo 3 version...that looked hot..

It's the Tricell Pharmaceuticals logo. We'll find out more about them in RE5. I'm guessing they are similar or related to Umbrella.

The PS3 RE5 bundle is definitely the nicest looking of the two (glossy black ftw!), the Xbox 360 just looks tacky imo.

I like the black accents on the memory card slots etc, but the red looks ######. I have a red controller that looks good since there's a more even red/black ratio, but I think a whole console would be too much.

The problem with the PS3 LE consoles is that they all look the same. They really die in the creativity department.

Yakuza 3

The most original of the three is the yakuza one, but it is still only white with the same old simple graphic on it. I agree that the 360 version of the RE5 limited edition is a bit bland, but at least that and the Halo 3 360 had some decent work done to them to make them stand out. Lay any of those PS3's down inside an entertainment cabinet and you couldn't tell them apart from the normal ones unless it was the Yakuza PS3. The worst part is a majority of these LE PS3 consoles aren't seen in the US, ever. I think Sony needs to realize the US is just as fanatical about LE consoles as Japan is. I know I am at least. And the games that would serve the best from an LE version of the console aren't getting one (Killzone 2 and Uncharted for example).

It could have at least had the umbrella logo or something like the PS3 had on it. This is really a half assed LE compared the Halo 3 one.

I don't see why so many people complain about the Halo 3 360 color. It is virtually identical in color to the original Halo xbox save for the orange.
