Custom 'Resident Evil 5' Xbox 360 bundle on the way?
"The Mole" -- a favorite Ars Technica source for all things game related -- has some curiosity-piquing info on the possibility of a Resident Evil 5-themed Xbox 360 headed to market. So says the site's Deep Throat, not only will a demo version of the game come to US Xboxen first (a move that must seriously unnerve Sony), but following the sneak-peak will be an RE5 package hardcore fans should die for. Literally. According to Ars, the bundle will include a custom red Xbox (with matching controller), a copy of Resident Evil 5, a special NXE RE5 theme, and a bonus Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD download. Of course, this is pure rumor right now, but if this package comes to fruition, we can bet on at least a few zombie-loving members of the Engadget staff getting in line when it hits shelves. Make it happen, people.























This looks nice!
...not really
I won't be happy with any special edition 360 that doesn't have WiFi built in.
How stupid do the specialty systems look when you have to still buy the optional - overpriced - $100 Wifi adapter - that only comes in White?
You realize there is a USB port on the back of the 360 you can plug the USB WiFi adapter into? Then you don't have to look at its horrible whiteness.
Its still not worth the ONE HUNDRED dollars it is
I'd tap that.
Don't like white?
Magic Marker, multiple color options - $.99
Red, seriously? I thought with all the problems MS has had with RROD they would stay as far away from that color as possible.
well idk bout you
but i kinda like christmas colors :)
So finally the RROD gonna match the case color :D
FAIL in style.
jk. i think it's gonna look nice.
Seriously? People at your work will buy a whole new console just to play a game when it would run on the one they already have? I need to have more customers like you. Could you send me demographic profiles so I know what kind of product make and what color to make it?
I wouldn't say something like that at work. Everyone will start saying that they're overpaying you and that you need a salary cut.
It's quite possible that they don't have a console at all... or want a 360 for other games that are exclusive to it.

This will make a great replacement for my, now ailing, 3 year old 360.
WOW its the Red Ring of Death Edition nice
More pink than red.
more photoshop than real.
im in the market to actually pick up a 360 i might just wait to see if this one comes out (i sold my old one due to gaming boredom)
“Brian, what’s the plural for box?”
“Boxen. I bought 2 boxen of doughnuts.”
“No, Brian, no. Let’s try another one. Irwin, what’s the plural for goose?”
“Geese. I saw a flock of geese.”
“Brian?"
“Wha-a-at?”
“What’s the plural for moose?”
“Moosen! I saw a flock of MOOSEN! There were many of ‘em. Many much moosen. Out in the woods…in the wood-es…in the woodsen. The meese want the food in the woodesen…food is the eatenesen…the meese want the food in the woodesenes…food in the woodesenes.”
that's fucken hilarious! where's it from?
Brian Regan: the greatest comedian on the face of this planet.
anyone else think he kinda looks like HRG?
holy fuck! i been looking for this guy since i saw him in comedy central. I forgot his name, so it was kinda hard to google him...
This comes on the birth of my first RRoD, thank you Engadget.. you've made that day even more special.
If they "literally" die for it, how will they play it?
A "pun intended" would have worked better.
i lol'd irl at the photo edit.
i just wanted to high rank you for your avatar. i looked at it and laughed. :)
I think Sony needs to get their stuff together. Letting Grand Theft Auto 4 slide to the 360 early (because they failed to sign some crap) then letting Microsoft get exclusize download content. Then letting Final Fantasy 13 and Resident Evil 5 and Devil May Cry 4 also go on the PS3. Weren't these PS2 exclusives.Damn Sony get your sh*t together and stop thinkin your all great!
No, I think Sony is doing the right move by letting those exclusives slide to the 360. The main reason would be for money. Think of how much more money a company can make by releasing the game for both consoles.
And as the saying goes, both Microsoft and Sony do not make their money from their consoles they make it from the accessories and the games.
But you are correct on one things, Sony did drop the ball on GTA 4
Does the photo imply a red theme for resident evil? Cause I don't think a red scheme will work very well in Microsoft's favor....I think it would be too close of a reminder of a certain "red ring of death".
However.....if thats what they want to call RE-5 then go right on ahead.
