Star Wars Xbox Bundle Delayed Until 2012, George Wants to Add Some More CGI Beasts
August 25th, 2011
Just kidding about Lucas wanting to make some changes as he does with every release of these movies. However the R2-D2 Xbox bundle has been delayed until 2012 because they want to make sure that the Star Wars Kinect game is as good as it can be when it ships.
They will tweak some things, polish it all up. So the bad news is that we won’t be getting this awesome bundle come this holiday season, but at least they are taking the time to make sure we have a quality game.
To refresh your memory, this Star Wars special edition Xbox 360 includes a 320GB R2-D2 themed console that features custom sounds and comes with a white Kinect sensor. You also get a C-3PO controller, (It doesn’t talk, thank god!) a wired headset and the Star Wars Kinect game. Aside from that there is also exclusive content and a copy of Kinect Adventures. The system sells for $449 (USD), and despite the delay, Amazon is still listing a December 31, 2011 release date.

As of August 30th, Amazon had revised the release date to December 31st, 2012. I am hoping that is an extreme estimate and that we see the bundle by Spring 2012.
Arrrghghghghghhhh! I couldn’t care less about the crappy Star Wars game, just give me the aawwweeessooommmmeeee looking console already!
I agree. Ship me the console and the game can come in a separate box in 2099. I’m sure the reason it’s delayed is that Lucas is having Darth Vader’s voice replaced by Barry White and a 3rd sun added to Tattooine.
