Dunno if you saw the news post this AM, but a new Halo Series of bluetooth speakers are hitting the market this year. And I WANT THEM.

Here is our news post HERE (http://www.xboxaddict.com/news/13348/Official-Halo-Bluetooth-Speakers-Unveiled.html)

On that note, for the lazy, here is a picture of the Master Chief version of the Stereo Speaker:

Personally, I like it and will seriously be looking into it as the release date is closer.

Cheers

I've been following the company that makes these since their origin days on Kickstarter. They had a Kickstarter up for a few days and then shut their campaign down because they secured finances for their company. However, there is more to this than just a speaker. They started by making a Stormtrooper and C3PO speaker, but then have added a Darth Vader helmet to their lineup which you can pre order now, and then their Master Chief speaker. The company is based in the UK and is EXPENSIVE for a speaker. RIGHT NOW they are pre-ordering for 126.75GBP after the pre order bonus window expires they will retail for 169.00GBP. So that means that the Halo speaker is:

Preorder price:
126.75 GBP (British Pound) which is
$216.12 CAD (Canadian Dollar) which is
$167.32 USD (United States Dollar)

Regular Retail price:
169.00 GBP (British Pound) which is
$288.16 CAD (Canadian Dollar) which is
$223.09 USD (United States Dollar)

Then add on international shipping from the UK. Which at this time the company does NOT ship to USA or Canada so everyone here on the North American continent is kinda screwed. When I was a part of their Kickstarter program their shipping cost alone was going to be over $50 USD which was outrageous.

Yeah, but it's not your regular bluetooth speaker either. It's 15 inches high, stereo sound, and looks like FREAKING Master Chief. You gotta admit, it's pretty damn cool.

I agree it's pricey, but again, it's pretty damn cool.

That's all I got for now,
