Halo 4 Xbox 360 bundle revealed in Microsoft online store

A listing that was briefly glimpsed earlier today byIGNon Microsoft's online store has confirmed the contents of a new console bundle that had until now been unannounced.

The console itself sports a bit more than just a custom paint job. First, it will feature a large 320 GB harddrive. It will also have custom, Halo-themed sounds for opening and closing the disc tray. Purchasers will also receive some free DLC including a new weapon skin, a unique set of armor, avatar armor and some sort of avatar prop.

All together the bundle will run for $399. Somewhat surprisingly, it will not come with a Kinect camera, suggesting this is not a bundle intended to garner new purchasers, but is rather for the super hardcore Halo fan. That said, we'd have a tough time resisting a $500 bundle that had all of the contents of the $399 version plus a Halo-themed Kinect camera with a blue light on the front that talked at us like 343 Guilty Spark.
