It hasn't been 48 hours since Microsoft officially announced the pricing for the Halo 3 Xbox 360 and already stores are offering pre-orders for the "limited edition" console. Both Gamestop and EB Games are taking pre-orders for the $399 Halo 3 360 (and its now standard HDMI connection) and are listing September 16th as its tenative release date. Also cool to see is the console's packaging (viewable to the right), which is reminicent of the Halo 3 Zune box art and that whole "emotional" marketing theme they're going after. Maybe we can't all agree on the console's art design, but we should all be able to agree that the packaging is hawt.[Via Engadget]

okey...
If this one gets the ring of death, then MS must send you a halo3 box back.
This one will probebly have the new heatsink.
Dont think that HDMI will be there.

Yeah, I agree with Pos..if these die, they'd better not stiff those people with 'un-Haloed'
360 replacements. I'd be curious to see what would happen!
I would H O P E that since this is a newer SKU to the market, and with the extra money that this console costs over the Premium, the smaller nm chip would be installed and this overheating wouldn't be an issue. X3F, do us a favor and keep us informed.
For what it's worth, I'd probably get an Elite over this Halo 3 360 if I was in the market.
Richard..you should get one! :) Sell your replacement when it arrives and let us know if you have much better luck with the Halo 3 one!
