I just came on here to post about this, but then I realised we'd already discussed it

Kotaku / Gizmodo have just given a heads-up (in the form of a psuedo-documentary of the development process) of a Limited Edition Star Wars R2-D2 X360 Slim console, due out towards the end of the year to coincide with the release of Kinect: Star Wars

The console is, as you would expect, predominantly white with blue and silver detailing. There are numerous easter eggs printed on the console, and the console itself even makes R2-D2 noises when you open and close the disc drawer!

It also comes with a plain white Kinect (the first example of a white Kinect), as well as an exclusive C-3PO styled controller, in a retor gold colour and coloured detailing to represent the different parts of C-3PO. It is also the newer design controller with the twisty D-pad!

No word yet whether this will be available outside of North America (they'd be stupid not to release this in Europe), but it's rumoured to retail at $450 when it drops in November and will come with a 320Gb HDD!
