I recently lost my second Xbox 360 to the RROD. Unfortunately, MS would not replace it because it was no longer covered under warranty. I decided to replace it with this bundle mainly because I wanted the larger hard drive. I also wanted two of the new controllers with the "improved" d-pads. Of course, I also wanted MW3 so this bundle made a lot of sense.

These new slim models are supposed to have a better thermal design and be more reliable. Given my experiences with the RROD, I'll believe this when I have a 360 that lasts more than 1.5 years without repair. The new system does appear to vent heat better than the old ones. There's a massive fan above the processor that vents heat through a large opening in the case.

Regarding the new controllers: The new d-pad does not completely solve the issues that the old controllers had. It does improve input, but only slightly. The raised configuration provides a little more tactile feedback to the user so that they hit the up/down/left/right directions more consistently. Unfortunately, you can still accidentally input directions that are 90 degrees off in the heat of battle.

The MW3 branding is nice IMO. It's subtle and not too obnoxious. The sound effects the system makes are a nice touch, but sound a little tinny and grainy.

Amazon customer service is amazing. I had an issue with one of the controllers and they went above and beyond to resolve the issue. This is the second time they've really impressed me. Thank you Amazon.

I just got this yesterday at midnight. And it was awesome just looking at the case. When you open it, it comes with the really cool looking console with MW3 stuff painted all over it (very cool). Also it comes with two contollers that also have MW3 stuff painted all over it (as seen on picture). The back of the controllers are just black and at first i didnt like the controllers much but then once i started playing with them it was awesome. The console itself is very cool with all the MW3 stuff on it. And it also makes this really cool robotic/techno sound when you put your finger on the power button and the open/close button. Of course this package comes with the game and also as a bonus it comes with one month free live gold card and also headphones for when you are playing live. As for the game itself. I was only able to get through part of the campaign since i just got it. But so far it is pretty awesome.Graphics are much better then the other COD games. And also there are some pretty sweet things that you get to do in this game. Like diving in the water. And the controllers vibrate to so it makes the game even more epic. The only annoying part for me was that i had to download a lot of upgrades to get the game going. (since this is a new xbox console).Personally i am very glad that i bought this package and i am very satisfied. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to upgrade their Xbox or if you dont have an xbox than this is the perfect way to start.

The MW3 Console:

Received it yesterday (yes, it was only 11/7) took it out of the box and was totally impressed with the look. The graphics are high quality, they look painted on, not a cheap sticker. There is chrome trim around the top and bottom (on the sides when mounted horizontally) and the power button is chrome. The controllers match and also look awesome, there is a chrome D pad. I am upgrading from a 2006 360 which had the wireless adapter, the new model is smaller and much more modern looking, it also has built in wireless and HDMI which is a huge improvement. I plugged it in and turned it on and there is a cool metallic sound effect when you turn it on and when you open the tray, I really like this effect. The open/close button for the tray is not really a button, you just need to lightly touch the area and it senses your finger and opens.

The MW3 game:

Obviously I havent had a lot of time to play the game to this point but, the look and feel of the game is vastly improved over Black Ops. The graphics are clean and sharp and the movement, aiming and weapon changes feel smmoth and effortless.

Honest reviews on Xbox 360 Limited Edition Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Bundle

This bundle is a great value. The artwork is cool, giving you a distinct difference from your regular black console and controllers. I purchased this for $350 after $50 credit from amazon. This machine is definitely quieter than my previous pro 360. I wouldn't call it "whisper quiet" unless you save the game to the hard drive and then play.

Pros

Cool artwork on console & controllers

2 wireless controllers with updated D-pad & batteries

Built in wifi

Mw3 game disc with online upgrades

320gb Hard drive

Updated S console, smaller, quieter, more reliable???

Auto shutdown if overheating

Cons

Bonus sounds (eject/power) sound quality weak

No Live Gold card included (all consoles automatically are eligible for 1 free month)

Price $400 too much, $350 so-so, less than $350 a steal

My unit has already FROZEN once playing madden 2012, not a good sign

This Xbox is my first one that I've purchased, (I've always had a PS3 and I still do and I love it). I have some friends who play Xbox so I decided to go ahead and get one and since I like MW3, this was a no brainer. The console itself looks really cool and is much better than just the plain black glossy look. The 2 controllers that it comes with matches the console and look great. It also comes with the MW3 game. A normal Xbox 360 is either 4gb or 250gb, so getting one that has 320gb is really nice. You don't ever have to worry about maxing out your memory. The 250gb console is $299.99, an extra controller is $50-55, copy of MW3 is $60, plus it has 70 more gb's. So for $350 your getting $110 of extra stuff for free, and that's not including the extra memory. If your looking at a present for a gamer or to upgrade your old Xbox, this is the one for you.
