Wheels up this Fall in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand
UAVs don't scare you. You laugh in the face of helicopter strikes. You think proximity mines are for rookies. And Prestige? Please, old news. Prepare for the launch of the Xbox 360® Limited Edition Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Console.
Xbox, Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games teamed up to create a "Call of Duty" collectible, just in time for the most epic "Call of Duty" experience yet. Aside from its (air)striking good looks, the console will play unmistakable "Call of Duty" sounds when powering up and when the tray is opened.
This must-have for "Call of Duty" fans worldwide includes a customized console with graphics from the game, along with two custom wireless controllers, a 320GB hard drive, a copy of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3," as well as custom sounds when the console is turned on. A one month Xbox LIVE Gold subscription to Xbox LIVE is included so you can play to your heart's content, as well as exclusive avatar items that show your Xbox LIVE friends you're one of the lucky ones to own this coveted console.
The console will launch on November 8, 2011 in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and EMEA for $399 (U.S. ERP), and you can pre-order today at participating retailers. At 320GB, the console has the largest hard drive ever available for Xbox 360, with more than enough space to download and save game add-ons, downloadable content, games, music, photos, videos and movies. While "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" does not support Kinect functionality, all Xbox 360 consoles are Kinect-ready for when you're ready to take a break from the battlefield.
