Xbox 360 accessories incoming
Christmas is now just around the corner and Microsoft have taken the time to kindly inform us of what we could be saving for. With new accessories abound, we now have the UK release dates to go with them, not to mention prices. Taken from Microsoft’s press release: Available from 17th November: Xbox 360 Faceplates. Consumers can customize their consoles with one of three new special-edition faceplates featuring images from their favourite games, including the “Halo®” franchise and “Viva Piñata™” (ERP £14.99*) Available from 24th November: Xbox 360 Wireless Headset. Providing the ultimate wireless experience, this headset integrates seamlessly with the Xbox 360 console to provide wireless voice chat capabilities, stylish design and superior voice quality over the Xbox Live network (ERP £34.99*) Xbox 360 Wireless Headset Available from 1st December: Xbox 360 Wireless Wheel with Force Feedback: For true racing enthusiasts who demand unparalleled driving realism at home, this innovatively designed wheel combines form and function with the latest technology in wireless and force feedback. Consumers who purchase the wheel will also get a limited-edition force feedback version of “Project Gotham Racing® 3” while supplies last (ERP £89.99*). Xbox 360 Wireless Steering Wheel HD DVD Player: The Xbox 360 HD DVD Player will retail for £129.99 (ERP*). The Xbox 360 HD DVD Player comes with the Universal Pictures’ blockbuster film Peter Jackson’s “King Kong” on HD DVD (for a limited time) and the Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote. Xbox 360 HD-DVD Drive *Actual retail prices may vary. So there we have it, a whole host of new gadgets heading our way. Now if only Microsoft were to offer a bundle or discount scheme for 360 owners who buy them. It’d be nice to buy the HD-DVD Drive and Wireless Steering Wheel to then get the Wireless Headset for free, or something along those lines. Free may be pushing it a bit, but some sort of discount would certainly go a long way.Source: http:///www.xboxic.com
