Limited Edition Red Xbox 360?

Not long ago rumors about a Red Xbox 360 started popping up. Kotaku recently caught a tid-bit where in an announcement to New Zealand retailers Microsoft inadvertently confirmed the console.

The email was to announce a deal whereby anyone buying a 360 console in NZ would, for a limited time, receive a free copy of Halo Wars. Good deal! Except, there’s a catch. You’ll get the game if you buy an Arcade, Pro or Elite model, but “this Halo Wars offer does not apply to the Red Xbox 360 Elite console which is exclusive to EB games.”

It would seem that this new rumored “Limited Edition” Red console will be exclusive to EB Games (now known as “Game” in the UK and “GameStop” in the US). It will be interesting to see if there is anything in particular that will make this console desirable to consumers beyond just the color. I would have to be something that’s worth more than a free copy of Halo Wars at least.

MK vs DC Xbox 360 PAL CE Canceled

According to Sealed Game Hevean and elsewhere, It would seem that the Xbox 360 PAL Kollector’s Edition of MK vs DC was canceled. Despite the fact that the game has been released the Xbox 360 Kollector’s Edition in Europe mysteriously never made it to store shelves. The PS3 was actually released and there is photographic evidence as well. Both the PS3 and 360 release were originally slated to be GAME exclusive releases.
