Limited Edition Xbox 360 Kinect Star Wars Bundle Unboxing

2012-04-04
what's up guys it's Lew from unbox therapy and today we're taking a look at the Star Wars Kinect limited edition Xbox 360 console bundle you've got the r2d2 style console included along with the matching Kinect sensor done up in a stormtrooper looking white and then you've got the c-3po style controller which has a gold-plated appearance to it those are the special inclusions you've of course also got the Star Wars game you've got a 320 gigabyte hard drive included you've got that chintzy Xbox LIVE headset that I'm always hating on I probably shouldn't be at least to get something to get you started on live let's talk about the unboxing let's take a look at what's included the first thing that's going to greet you is this little booklet here which says Kinect Star Wars on it as you open it up you'll see some boring setup information to stop you from kicking your TV when using Kinect telling you to place at a safe distance away of course and then you've got a poster a commemorative Star Wars Kinect poster featuring both r2d2 c-3po and a little picture of your newly purchased console on the bottom so here is that console I just mentioned I'm going to put that to the side for a quick second in order to remove the other items that are in the box here here is that game that I mentioned it is not packaged for individual sale of course only for use with this bundle and it will only work with Kinect it does require Kinect you've also got Kinect Adventures which is included I believe with all Kinect bundles and then a little bit more paperwork from Microsoft telling you to get your avatar up and running next we've got the gargantuan power adapter from Microsoft and I'm sure you've seen one of these before if you haven't here it is I'm not going to bother opening it up it's basically the size of a brick is that why they call it a power brick next you've got the power cable which plugs into that gargantuan adapter and this is kind of a pet peeve of mine these console manufacturers still include only composite cables no HDMI cable could you imagine what it would cost to throw an HDMI cable in here I mean keep the composit cable for people on old-school TVs just throw the hdmi-in as well I mean this I've actually seen people you know rocking an HDTV proper flat-panel and using the composit cables only because those were what was included you're giving people the wrong idea here Microsoft and I'm looking at you to Sony so anyways here's the head unit I was mentioning earlier and it's got a little bit of padding along the neck so it doesn't receive a broken neck in transit and you've got the chrome Xbox 360 logo along the front this nice white finish which is going to be good because it probably won't have too many fingerprints attracted to it or dust or anything like that not like glossy black I'm sure you guys all know glossy black is tough to keep clean here is that el cheapo headset that I mentioned before and I really shouldn't hate on Microsoft because they do give you something to get up and running on Xbox Live unlike their competitors and here is that gold-plated controller at least it appears gold-plated guys this is not actually gold-plated obviously and I think it's pretty cool-looking you know you can see me waving in the reflection it is super reflective in this unlike the Kinect sensor probably will get fingerprints all over it on the bottom you've got the exposed wiring which is c-3po esque and that's also where you can connect your headset of course just like on any Xbox 360 controller I think this is one of the cooler looking of the collectors edition controllers you've also got the new rotatable d-pad which I think all new controllers are shipping with very cool looking very unique definitely going to get noticed sitting on your desk or in your living room the back is a little bit more boring all you've got is this matte black finish but that's okay it'll probably be durable unlike some other finishes so as you guys know I've unboxed a number of different collectors and editions including Gears of War modern warfare 3 so on and so forth one thing I did want to mention is that the other two editions that I've unboxed included two controllers whereas the Star Wars Edition here only has the one might have something to do with it being a Kinect bundle unlike the other two so you're also going to get some Duracell batteries included to get that controller up and running but enough about all those items let's talk about the main attraction of course that is the r2d2 looking console right here I think it looks pretty bad ass let me know down in the comments what you think you've got the Star Wars insignia along the side as you can see there including you know some cool geometric shapes cut out along the different venting patterns etc the top trim is not a super high gloss or anything like that instead it's a more sort of dull metallic looking finish even though it's plastic I'm just talking about the way the finish appears here's the front of the unit of course you've got the Xbox 360 logo on the disc drive your power button a couple of USB ports of course for your different peripherals and as I flip it over to the back here I'll give you an idea of the i/o you've got of course the industrial automation logo in the bottom right corner and to the left of that is where all your ports are you've got three USB s your Kinect input as well as an Internet input if you're not using Wireless of course you've got an AV in and out and the HDMI port that I wish you could use out of the box without having to take a trip to the store alright I'm going to chill out on that topic guys sorry the top is simple you've just got some venting which is done in the white coloring so here's a look at the game it's actually got two discs inside I didn't know that we've got the game disc as well as a game demo disc probably has something to do with the fact that this was developed by Microsoft Studios and then on the left hand side is where you're going to find all your paperwork including some unexpected DLC you're going to get the bonus c-3po character for Star Wars dance mode I know you guys excited about that don't pretend you're not some more warning information about using Kinect man these guys really don't want you to put a hole in your TV I can't blame them and then of course the Kinect Adventures game which I'm not going to unwrap here because I've done it on numerous unboxing so your next question is does it make the special sounds hell yes it does it sounds like r2d2 it doesn't just look like them so there's different sounds for opening the disc drive and of course powering on and shutting it down so very cool overall if you're if you're a big fan if you're a collector then you're definitely going to want to take a look at this it's even got a little secret on the inside of this trailer you can read it there you go you got r2d2 talking to obi-wan so anyway guys if you're a big star Wars fan or if you're looking for an Xbox 360 right now you want to get something a little different then this console might be for you you might want to take a look at it and one more thing if you guys want me to do a comparison of all my collector's edition hit that like button down below or favorite or whatever or leave a comment because I
