Edition: 250GB Elite Modern Warfare 2 Limited Ed

Amazon.com Product Description

Since its inception, Xbox 360 has set the pace for digital entertainment. That pace has now been quickened with the Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Console. Along with features standard in all Xbox Elite consoles, the Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Console comes with an exclusive design inspired by the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, a copy of the standard edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for Xbox 360, two black Xbox 360 Wireless Controllers and a massive 250GB Hard Drive, making it both a true value and collector’s item for Xbox 360 and Call of Duty fans alike. The Console Designed with artwork inspired by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, this limited edition console measures 11.5 x 11.8 x 7.5 inches and is less than eight pounds. It's powered by custom IBM PowerPC-based CPU with three symmetrical cores each running at 3.2 GHz. It also carries 512MB of GDDR3 SDRAM, a custom ATI graphics processor and 10MB of integrated video memory. This makes it powerful enough to draw 500 million triangles per second. In other words, users can expect great looking games in standard TV definition, and even better graphics quality when used with HDTV 1080i televisions thanks to the console's built-in HDMI port*. It also supports the widescreen 16:9 format. The unit has a 12x dual-layer DVD-ROM drive, which plays both the game media and progressive-scan DVD movies right out of the box. Game, exclusive console, 2 controllers and 250GB drive in one bundle. View larger. Exciting new 'Call of Duty' action. View larger. Full Xbox LIVE support. View larger. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a first-person shooter and the sixth entry in the popular Call of Duty series. True to its name and following the lead of its predecessor, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, it places players in modern combat settings, as opposed to the WWII environments of the earlier Call of Duty games. This modern approach brings with it new weapons, action and options. Coupled with a variety of gameplay modes including single player, multiplayer and a co-op Ops Mode, it is destined to be one of the most popular games of 2009 and a worthy addition to the Call of Duty series. Xbox 360 250GB Hard Drive In modern console gaming hard drive size is an ever growing concern. The 250GB detachable hard drive included with the Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Console allows gamers to maximize their Xbox 360 entertainment experience without a worry like never before. With this new, larger drive users can save their games as well as store television shows, movies, music, pictures, trailers, levels, demos and other content available from Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Go Online with Xbox LIVE Xbox LIVE is the online game and entertainment service exclusively for Xbox 360 owners. A built-in Ethernet port on the Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Console allows users to connect to the service via their broadband connection.

As with all Xbox 360 consoles, users can connect to Xbox LIVE via their free Xbox LIVE Silver membership to take advantage of free game trials and have immediate access to HD movies and game add-ons like songs and characters (all sold separately through Xbox LIVE Marketplace). They can also upgrade to Xbox LIVE Gold to maximize their Xbox LIVE experience. Included with your console is a free one month subscription to Xbox LIVE Gold. Xbox LIVE Gold features the best in gaming and entertainment.

Two Wireless Controllers Included The Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Console includes matching black wireless controllers, making it easy to get in the game with a friend right out of the box. Xbox 360 uses a refined button layout for its controllers. Back and start buttons sit at the center of the controller and between them is the Xbox Guide button, which instantly takes the user to the Xbox 360 user interface. From there, they can check for friends online, access personal digital content like photos and songs and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars IT IS A JASPER. Worth the money so far...., November 15, 2009

Ok, short story about what happened to me.... Saturday, before MW2 came out, my Falcon Elite displayed an E74 error message. My falcon had been "repaired" before due to RROD. So as you all can understand, I was pretty pissed off. Anyway, since amazon claimed this bundle was the "newest" version (newest chip), I decided to take the plunge and get it. My Falcon will be back from Microsoft next week and I plan to sell it, now that I have the MW2 console.

Anyway, so far, this bundle is the "newest version" and a must buy IMO, why? it comes with TWO controllers, a 250G HD and Modern Warfare 2. Reviewers have made arguments about the controllers feeling either smaller or cheap..take it from an actual Elite owner...the controllers or console's obvious built is NOT different than previous Elite versions, someone said something about this console having "too much plastic",so I guess they were refering to the DVD tray; it is now all black, the regular Elite tray is silver, this of course does not mean it is metal, it is still plastic.

Anyway, you will get the following in this bundle: two black controllers, an ethernet cable, a basic video cable (not a componet one), NO HDMI cable, a black headset, and the 250G HD, MW2 regular edition and that's pretty much it.

Now, how do I know this is a Jasper console? The power brick is smaller and the voltage is different compared to the Falcon Elites. It does run smoother and the noise from the DVD drive has been taken down a notch.

I should mention though, that so far, I have been forced to use my Falcon Elite' 120G HD, because Microsoft's customer support claims they are out of the "data transfer kits", that I MUST WARN YOU, now cost $12 and you can only buy it from MS. Quick tip: Microsoft's CS hours are US Eastern time, so, if you call in early, they will have the transfer kits, if you call too late, near their closing time (1:00am US easterm time), they'll claim to be out of kits, trust me, I called them at least 4 times.

Now, about the over all look of the console, honestly, it does look good, but $400 good?? not really. The only reason for anybody to buy this console is the HD storage room, plus the fact that if you do the "math", the bundle is a pretty good deal, because a normal Elite will cost you $300, that's with only one controller and no game. Anyway, if you have a 120G Elite with plentyof HD space; this bundle is a matter of wanting to upgrade to a bigger HD, having a broken/malfunctioning Elite like mine or simply having the cash to spend.

Hope this helps.

Pre-ordered this bundle back in September, was worried at first about the release date shipping. This is my first release date purchase through Amazon. Received it at 10 am on release date...awesome. Now that we have that out of the way. This bundle is a great deal for first time Xbox users/purchasers. Comes with 2 controllers, this is great for a family purchase....no more children fighting over taking turns until you get to the store to purchase another controller. The 250 GB harddrive is great. I currently own 2 other 360's(one is mine, the other purchased for my wife) both 20gb. With all of the music, movies, and DLC I have had to constantly delete stuff that I have paid for just to make room for new games. This led me to purchase the 250GB harddrive, after transferring everything over I still have TONS of room to install all of my most played games. (For those of you new to 360's...this helps the games run smoother with less load times and it keeps the noise level down on the system). If you are a fan of the COD franchise or even new this 360 is great! The black 360 with the custom MW2 theme looks great. I have always thought about painting my other 360 black to make it look better in my entertainment center...black 58" tv, black surround sound system, black cable box, black modem, and lastly a black PS3. A White xbox stands out quite a bit amongst all of this equipment. I would highly recommend this purchase to people just starting out with the new gaming system or even hardcore 360 players who are just looking to expand the experience. I know this review is getting extensive but im just trying to cover everything....now on to the MW2 game. SIMPLY AMAZING! Looks great, sounds great, plays great. I have been into the COD franchise for quite a while, have been religiously playing COD 4 MW for over 2 years now and can see myself playing this one for another 2 as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME! Thanks for reading the review and happy gaming! -J.Fox

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Xbox with slight room for improvment, November 25, 2009

This review is from: Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Console (Video Game)

For those that were wondering about a 'special edition' xbox, take it from me- This would be my second console of a special edition and my 3rd xbox - by far, the best one yet to invest in.

Two factors made me get this one:
1- It's a JASPER; whats that?? Its the smaller cpu chips on the motherboard of the console. This results in a cooler xbox, and thus a longer lifespan and less power usage. The Red Ring of Death (RROD) issues should not be seen here for a long time. this also runs smoother, takes less power, and makes less noise.

2- When I looked at this deal and compared it to the elite, this is what I came to conclusion: For $300, The elite for $100 less than this version, but is missing one controller and the game MW2. Because the game is $60 currently and a controller is $40, that makes up the difference in price. What you gain is a larger hard drive for free (250gb vs 120gb).

If you do not want the game and have no need for a second controller, stick to the elite, but by all means, get this xbox if you want the game and a second controller- best bang-for-your-buck.


Now the downside: No HD cable. It sucks, but last special edition xbox's were the Resident Evil and the Halo3 xbox had them included:

Resident evil came with:
# Limited Edition Red Xbox 360 Elite System
# 120GB hard drive
# Xbox 360 Headset (black, wired)
# Resident Evil 5 game
# Red Wireless Controller
# HDTV-ready component HD AV cable
# HDMI cable
# Ethernet cable
# Token card that allows you to download Super Street Fighter ll Turbo HD Remix AND exclusive Resident Evil Premium Theme via Xbox Live

Halo3 verison came with:
* Halo 3 Special Edition Console
* Halo 3 Special Edition Wireless Controller
* Halo 3 Special Edition 20GB Hard Drive
* Halo 3 Special Edition Wired Headset
* Halo 3 Special Edition Gamer Pics and Theme (Exclusive download via Xbox LIVE)
* Component HD AV Cable
* Ethernet Cable
* HDMI Port
* Play & Charge Kit
* Xbox LIVE Silver Membership
* One-month Xbox LIVE Gold Membership

Both special editions came with an HD cable to hook up with, while the new MW2 version does not. Halo version was another 'almost hit', lacking the game Halo3. The RE version was better, but had only one controller- not a big deal.

In the end, having the game and two controllers for me was the way to go; If you want the HD cable, you need to buy it, but otherwise, this is the console to get today (11/20/09) vs the Elite xbox.
