Overall, this is a very well-designed Xbox 360 console. If you're in need of an upgrade or will be a first-time Xbox purchaser and you're a Star Wars fan, then you should definitely pick this up. Otherwise, for any Star Wars fan currently satisfied with their present Xbox console or for those who pledge their allegiance to another brand, it will be a coin toss.
Pros:
-Console functions very well, just like any other Xbox 360 currently on the market.
-Superb paint job that looks just like R2-D2. The paint design on the Xbox is actually a matte finish, for those that are wondering (I actually thought it was a glossy finish at the time I pre-ordered). The blue lights on the power ring are neat, as well, as opposed to the usual green lights. The C-3P0 controller also has a unique design with a chrome/glossy finish and wire designs etched on the bottom of the controller.
-The sounds that the console makes when you open the disc tray and turn it on/off resemble R2-D2 to a tee.
-The $50 credit from Amazon was definitely a surprise. When I originally pre-ordered, we were supposed to get a downloadable character for the Star Wars Kinect game, but when I got the promotional code via e-mail, it had been changed to a $50 credit promo. I would take the $50 credit over a downloadable character any day!
Cons:
-The price of the entire package is pretty expensive for anyone that wants to upgrade or purchase an Xbox for the first time. But keep in mind that it is a special edition console, and it also comes with a 320gb hard drive (the most spacious so far), a Kinect, and two games (Kinect Adventures [that comes with every Kinect] and Star Wars Kinect).
-With the matte finish, I did notice an extremely slight chip in the paint on the white portion of the console's body. I noticed it right when I took it out of the box. So just make sure you handle the console carefully and don't accidentally scratch it, for the paint may come off.
-Also keep in mind that with the chrome-style controller, it does attract fingerprints. So if you hate fingerprints, you will find yourself wiping it down at your discretion. I've put in quite a few hours of play time, but I haven't really felt the need to wipe it down or noticed the fingerprints that much. If your hands perspire a lot while playing, it may affect the way the controller feels in your hand, but I doubt it would actually slip or fly off of your hands.
And just to throw my opinions out there, I wish the console would make two separate sounds when you turn it on and turn it off. The sound is the same either way, but unique, nonetheless (if they are different, then it is hardly noticeable). I also would have given the Kinect a different paint job other than just an all-white look; I would've went for a gray/blue look, just like R2-D2's head. In regards to the console's paint job, I would have rather went for a glossy finish, as opposed to the matte finish. And lastly, for those that like to match, I'd recommend purchasing the special edition white controller or the old white controller, if you don't already have one; it compliments the console pretty well.
All in all, every feature about the console (the paint job, lights, sounds, and unique controller design) make you feel like it's a special edition console. If that's what you want, then that is definitely what you will receive. The next-generation Xbox should not be coming out any earlier than a year and a half from now, so i think new/upgrading buyers will still get their money's worth with this system. I upgraded from the black Xbox 360 Slim (with 250gb hard drive), and I am completely satisfied with this purchase. And I don't even consider myself a huge Star Wars fan, just an admirer of the brand, in general.

The product was exactly as described (if not better). The seller admitted to some smome staining. But when I received it the 'staining' was minimal and easily removed with antibacterial wipes. The system is in great condition and I couldn't be happier! Thank you so much :D
