Following the announcement of this week's European Xbox 360 price cut, Microsoft has just announced that the army green colored Halo 3 Xbox 360 will be available in the UK and retail for 279 GBP. The Halo 3 console will be available September 26th (Europe's Halo 3 release date) and will include all the same features / goodies as the Halo 3 console in the US including the spiffy paint job, play and charge pack, 20GB HDD and HDMI input. The console's 279 GBP price tag will be a tad more expensive than this Friday's newly price dropped and comparable Premium 360 which will retail for 249 GBP. So, an extra 30 GBP to upgrade to the Halo 3 Xbox 360 and its adorable gamer pictures or sticking with the cheaper Premium ... decisions, decisions.

Halo 3 Xbox 360 pre-orders now available
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]
Up close and personal with the Halo 3 Xbox 360 [update 1]
Also, we're trying to contact Microsoft to clear up some confusion we have about the included headset. You see, Xbox.com and the press materials we received specifically state the bundle will include a wired headset (now confirmed). But we heard from E3 and Bungie stated in their Weekly Update that they were going to include the Halo 3 wireless headset instead. So, we aren't sure which it is, wired or wireless, but we'll be sure to pass along any clarification when we get it. Until then, take a look at the photos below.
Update 1: We just got confirmation from Microsoft that the pictured wired headset will be included in this bundle. The wireless Halo 3 headset will be a separate purchase for $59.99. All cleared up.
