Halo 3 fanatics will surely enjoy (or maybe not) Microsoft’s latest offering: the Xbox 360 Halo 3 Edition. With a specially designed body and color scheme which conforms with the game’s overall theme and the added HDMI port, hopefully, this console won’t suffer from the bugs that plagued earlier models. Considering the release date, however, I suppose they’ve already done their homework and addressed these issues already. The Halo3 Edition comes with the console, wireless controller, wired headset, 20 GB and Halo 3 Special Edition gamers pics and themes to name a few. The game, however, is not included.

For those for looking for something a little less eyecandy-ish , the new Xbox 360 Premium models will ship with HDMI capabilities as well. What does this mean? Well, you can now stream high quality video and audio through one cable eliminating cable nightmares. Retailers are gradually introducing these new consoles to the market. To determine whether you’re getting the HDMI-capable console, just look for the HDMI logo. Fair warning, though: it’s still too early to expect it to be available locally. If I were you, I’d wait until Christmas or early next year when the real goodies are already available.
