There are times, in every gamer's life, when you have to sit down and think long and hard about what you're doing here.
It's an Xbox 360. It's just like every other Xbox 360, no different, no better, no worse. The model will be old hat by the time 720 is released next year. Yet it's twice the price of the bog standard Xbox console.
And it looks like R2D2.
It's difficult to get past that last bit, isn't it? Parents the world over are likely to get very shrill, with eyebrows raised into their hairlines, at the very thought of it. Geeks with disposable incomes are going to have frozen glances at their bank balances.
Is it worth it? You get the Kinect Star Wars and Star Wars Adventures games free with the bundle; and an unlockable C3P0 too. There's a Wired Headset in the box.
The console makes noises like R2D2. It beeps and makes other custom sounds.
The controller is modelled after C3P0. Well, it's gold at least. (Though not solid gold, just to pre-empt parental questions.)
But is it worth it? Let's open that question up to the floor.

I have the same trepidation about Battlefront III as I do about the announcement about the new films. On the one hand, yay! New films! On the other, oh no... Disney.
It really is a shame about the battlefront series, in some ways I want the third instalment but I'm still concerned it'll be a massive flop...
Mostly off my friends. :D I'm in a Skype call with three gamers reading as I speak, and quibbling the time it takes to beat The Force Unleashed.
Wow, I bet this article will get a lot of hits!!:)
