The Gears 3 model comes with Gears 3 and is $400. The R2-D2 model comes with Kinect Star Wars, but is $450. Both seem great but I'm going to have to side with Gears 3 on this one, not because it's cheaper but because I've never seen a better looking console in my life. And I want Gears 3. Which would you choose?

I'd choose the standard black one. I haven't liked a single special edition 360.

The Gears one comes with two controllers right? If so, I'd go with that one.

Yes, the Gears 3 model does come with two controllers, both are Black/Red like the console.

R2 D2's cooler(coolest "official" special console mod IMO), but has ****** game with it and Kinect(+ 450$)

while the gears has Geow3

So GeoW 3 is the better deal in the end

Well, you could always sell both of them(Kinect and Star Wars) which will most likely let you get Gears 3 and another game.

Based on pure looks, I like the R2-D2 model. I love the glossy white look and the blue streaks on it. The price point stinks, but I'd rather save up and get that one. I'd just sell the game and maybe the Kinect.

The gears one...

The star wars version is a mess... best thing about it is the GOLD C3PO controller.

The one that comes without the Kinect and includes Gears of War 3, 2 Gears branded controllers and a Gears branded 360, and a 325 GB hard drive....

I really do like these limited edition systems Microsoft are releasing, now they need more games to go with them....

I'd go with the Star Wars one, and if you don't want Kinect and the Star Wars game you could always sell them and buy Gears of War 3. The Star wars console actually comes with 2 controllers so I think it is worth the extra considering you will easily get $50 for the limited edition kinect and star wars game.

so it does, I just typed in star wars 360 on google and one of the links said it came with two controllers, so they were wrong. Still selling the kinect and star wars game should allow the purchase of both gears 3 and a second controller if they want.

Star Wars 360 will be a collector's item in the future.

I'm not a fan of either one but if I had to choose I'd probably go with the Gears 3 model. The gold controller from the R2-D2 model looks nice though.

Oh how I wish I could justify selling my current 360 for the new R2D2 unit... I just can't. I cried tears of carbonite when I saw how badass the Star Wars 360 was... and I've never been a fan of the other collector's edition consoles. Then again, I collect Star Wars stuff... I have a Droid R2D2 phone, for instance. Damn... I wish I had an extra $500... or somebody who would buy my new 360.

I'd get them both if I could. The Gears one would look really nice in the living room, and the R2-D2 would look great in the other room. I'd try to use it less though since I bet it will be a collectors item down the road.
