Microsoft has today announced the white Xbox 360 Slim Special Edition Kinect Family Bundle, harking back to the original colour of the Xbox 360 when it first launched way back in 2005, lest we forget.

The limited edition bundle packs a glossy white Xbox 360 Slim 4GB console, a glossy white Kinect sensor, a white Xbox 360 controller and two Kinect games to go with it all. That'll be Kinect Adventures and the first Kinect Sports. And finally, there's also a three month Xbox Live Gold membership in the box too.

Being shipped out to US retailers today, the Special Edition White Xbox 360 4GB Bundle is available in the US and around the world, with the console coming to Europe and Brazil in the next few months. It retails for an MSRP of USD $299.99 and you can also pick up the white controller on its own for USD $49.99. Cast your eyes upon the white Xbox 360 Slim below.

  • Oh boy, a WHITE controller!
  • looks good to me
  • So...The cheap version of the R2-D2 360? :p Does look nice though. I like my gears xbox though.
  • @4 fail because you are not even 1st
  • @4FFFFFFFFAAAAAIIIIILLLLLL. OT:Why are we still getting 4GB of memory?
  • Might have to pick up one of the controllers just for nostalgia purposes
  • Once you go black, you never go back
  • I prefer the black console personally :)
  • @#4 : FAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL !!! On topic... Too bad I got a kinect last Xmas, been waiting for a white slim for a long time and finally gave up... Bad timing :-/
  • @4 lmao I love absolute morons like you... On ye other hand, why did they decide 4gb? Not even enough to install a game, I made this mistake with my sons Xbox 4gb and ended up buying a 250gb hdd anyway! Does look nice though!
  • Ah. Ew...
  • I would buy this over the black one any day,just looks so clean
  • No on should buy this unless they can get a good deal on a 250GB HDD.
  • Microsoft, explain this to me. You want it to be a family bundle...and yet you make it a 4gb console, not hte 250gb. You're all fucking idiots.
  • @ #4, thanks for breaking the comments. Anyways, looks cool. I don't really need it, as I have the regular 60GB Xbox. Although I do want to get the 250GB Slim.
  • naked R2-D2!
  • Do people actually prefer the glossy to the matte finish? Give me dull any day...
  • Yay, fingerprints!
  • @4 - God, moron alert.
  • wow a white controller never seen that before...
  • I'm figuring they had far less preorders for the Star Wars bundle than they projected so they just scraped the blue off and called it a family bundle...
  • They should come out with different colored ones. like red ,blue, purple,green, any color really.i think it would be cool.
  • I would rather it was matte, the glossy finish scratches too easily.
  • @23 Probably because everyone canceled their pre-orders after they found out it was going to have dancing. I never pre-ordered one, but I decided not to.
  • I prefer the R2-D2 one.
  • @22 haven't you?
  • what not 250/320 gig? pfffttt
  • I have the Gears xbox, therefore this console is invalid.
  • I'll get one just to add to my collection.
  • Make it a 250 GB and I'm sold.
  • The white, it blinds!!!
  • Is it just me, or does the Kinect look sad? Maybe it doesn't want to be white?
  • I have always thought that white computers, consoles etc looked quite cheap, whereas black looks much more bold and professional.
  • Is there one of these white xbox with just the xbox and control with a higher hardrive?
  • Well that is just..ugly.
  • 4GB? No thanks.
  • I want that!!! and to people who think its stupid that it's only the 4gb model, well dont you already have a slim. just that the HDD out and put it in there.
  • I really dont get this 4GB business....why not just do 250GB plus through out....BF3 took up 13GB with updates, HD enhancements and both the Disc'x installed so what the fuck is 4GB all about, more games companies are making games better if you run them from your hard drive, before anyone goes its the family one, well just have a couple of word for you "Kinect Fun Labs"
  • I paid $100 more for my Reach LE console and I think that was a deal. This is utter shit, but I guess good starting point for entry level gamers that also want Kinect. White hurts my eyes though...
  • If you add all the extras up, you are paying like $30 for the xbox itself!
  • I recon they just ran out of the blue paint for the R2-D2 consoles so knocked these up with the spare White kinects... I do kind of like it though but 4 gb is disappointing!
  • I have two 250gb slims. the glossy one and the matte one. I wouldn't trade either for a white 4gb. I never liked the white color for a console. I always had case mods on my fat 360's all 15 of them (rrod) Dear MS 4gb consoles are pointless, even to the casual audience. can't install 1 game, can't download DLC, Game saves aren't the only thing available anymore. I mean everyone complained about the 20gb when the 360 first came out.
  • As cool as this looks, I actually prefer matte. Also, 4GB? Oh Microsoft. You so silly. I still have the old 360, but if I got a new one I would choose more space over things I don't really want, even if I have moved on to liking White consoles.
  • Still loving my Gears 360, but this is pretty nice.
  • Loving the white kinect.
  • @7 - so they can sell over-priced HDDs to people that don't understand any of the tech side.
  • @4 I don't understand why people comment that they're first when they never are. It just makes them look like an ass. Anyways, the xbox I own works wonders.
  • I'd love this, but the d-pad turned me off. 5+ years and they still continue to make and sell them, when they do not work properly!
  • my xbox is still white. so no deal. might get a new white pad though, i got one of the sexy silver reach ones but my second white one is dying.
  • @35 DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THAT GAMERTAG PICTURE IS?? AND WHERE I CAN GET IT?? THANK YOU
  • Finally Brazil's in the news! Yeah!
  • Don't the black ones have 250GB?
  • @54 its a mass effect 2 gamer pic of a collector. Probably cost under downloads of mass effect 2 but if you want to be sure I think there are gamer pic sites that tell you whats in what.
  • Finally I'll be able to get another white controller to go with my old 360 instead of all sellers just doing black ones.
  • @57 Thank you soooo much, I owe ya one big time :)
  • your all failing to realise this is a FAMILY bundle console aka the 'casual' gamers version, aka what the wii is to nintendo familys will buy this just for the kinect and have some 'family' fun and then im guessing they wont be fussed with installing the game hell they might not even know about if there used to a wii so thats why its only th 4GB version
  • Why would anyone want the white Xbox S? Everyone know the black one runs faster. Hehe
  • Ooooh, a white kinect?
  • umm i like r2d2 console...
  • Only problem with that white Kinect is it'll (probably) be sitting on top of a black TV. And that would clash real bad, unless your house is like an 80's throwback with triangles everywhere and neon and pastels clashing everywhere.
  • Sorry about the double everywhere in that last post, folks. I swear I'll never do it again.
  • Once you go black...
  • I like my black console.
  • anybody else look at this and think the kinect looked like a sad face. Coincidence?
  • Prefer black as my tv, sound system, digital box and ps3 are black, I also prefer 250gb over 4gb lol
  • I don't understand why they keep releasing all of these Ltd Edition consoles when the new console is supposedly coming soon.
  • *Insert generic racial joke here*
  • 4gb isnt that funny seeing as its a family console how on earth is 4gb going to be enough space to do anything for 1 person . Cog knows how this is a family bundle.
  • the 250gb is a rip off anyway... get the 4gb...then buy the 320gb hard drive for $30 more than a 250g hard drive system would cost...so lets se..70 more gb for only $30, plus you get Lego Star Wars for free...i say ts better to buy the 4gb, then get the 320gb seperate...
  • All hail the return of the white Xbox!
  • I still think the star wars kinect xbox was the coolest looking one by far
  • I'm really excited to see the white slim come to fruition. I've never been a main stream kind of guy and to have an optional white version of the console everyone has, is a pretty nice change. Besides, I've always been a fan of the white. The only flaw I always saw was that Microsoft never made a black and white console. My old white fat looks beautiful with the black accents I've added (and without voiding the warranty I might proudly add!). Can't wait for the stores to actually carry this so I can take one home!
  • I wonder what @4 said!
  • My new plain black slim is just fine thank ya very much
