To pay homage to Star Wars Microsoft will be bundling R2D2 with Kinect! Well not the actually R2D2 (wish it was the actual though), a Xbox 360 modeled after the little robot that could. The console will have R2's sounds and look, along with a white version of the Kinect, Star Wars Kinect, Kinect Adventures, and a 320 gig hard drive. Also what would R2 be without his side kick C3P0? The controller that comes with the bundle will be modeled after the worry wart of a robot, can you say bling bling? The bundle will be on sale in the fall but pre-orders should be expected to start today. Pre-orders for the bundle will be priced at $449, force powers and light saber not included.
