Red 'Resident Evil 5' Xbox 360 unveiled!


Recommended Posts

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.

Do you own it?

It looks pretty rank in person. The Black/White 360 look much better.

any idea if this comes with a rechargeable battery pack? the bestbuy listing says it comes with a rechargeable battery pack while the guy at gamestop says it comes with just a normal battery pack. MN didn't say anything about there being a rechargeable pack either.

Not that I'm aware of. Check this video of the box and all it's contents, there doesn't look to be a battery pack in there.

Major Nelson prove that this is a Jasper unit by showing the 150W PSU (Falcon units have a 175W PSU)!

That is going to look fugly in any respectable home setup :p

At least people are guaranteed a jasper, but it's worth the extra effort to shop around and get a black/white jasper IMO.

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

snipped...

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).

Neither Sony or Microsoft are exactly what I'd call creative. All the limited consoles are the same, they just change the colour and/or stick a logo on it.

I'd gladly have one of them PS3's in my house over this monstrosity though. It looks like the love child of Satan and Fisher Price or something. ;)

*shrug*

*IF* I decide to get a 360, in my setup I would see only the faceplate, therefore, I don't really care, faceplate are here for that.

I prefer ten time getting RE5/SFII than KungFu Panda/Indiana Jones.

Also, the Limited Edition will be a better selling point when I will sell the console in few years :p

It's a decent bundle, shame about the colour.

Bah, just spray paint it to something better. Just make sure you do it right; it'll be a lot like painting old CD drives black (or whatever) back when they were all white/creme and couldn't get them in colors to match your |337 case. :D

At least Microsoft didn't need to slap LE on the first color change (Elite). The Halo LE was pretty well done even if not a particular favorite for most 360 owners. The PS3 is the same color with the same somewhat washed out image tagged to it. Only two of them were different colors and only one of those made it to the US.

It would look at home among twenty furbies, now wouldn't it?

The difference is the PS3 look LEs look decent. Microsoft's coloured Xbox 360s are arse ugly and the Halo one is the worst offender. :p

I can assure you, Jaspers are not quieter. :(

Be thankful for game installs, and get those fans swapped out asap. :)

I don't know about that, I've got a Jasper and it is much quieter than my 3rd (or is it 4th) console. The DVD drive isn't quieter, I'll give you that, but when a game is installed the 360 is dead silent.

Would you mind checking who your fans are made by? Mine are Delta.

Mine are delta also. I don't know, maybe mine's just got more breathing room, but it's really quiet. Quieter than my PS3 at least, and much quieter than my other 360.

The Jaspers are quieter. Well so far ive noticed. I know 3 friends all with Jasper Arcades and they all run dead silent. I dont mean DVD Drive wise. We all know the DVD Drive is being abused in the 360 always running at maximum speed. They cant find a quiet drive at all for the 360 but they have tried.

Thanks for game installs, the jaspers do sound quieter. Much quieter then original / falcons. Ive noticed because mine is original, a friends is falcon(elite) and then another 3 friends have jasper arcades that they upgraded to, there consoles are quieter then the falcon elite and OF COURSE quieter then mine.

But without game installs, with dvd drive running, the jasper is quieter then the original, and i think on par with the falcon.
