In a move that absolutely everybody expected, Microsoft have announced they will be bringing a Halo 4 Limited Edition Xbox 360 console to market for the games launch.

There is one thing that nobody expected though; it actually looks really rather nice.

Sporting a translucent controller and console, with blue glow instead of green, this baby really does look pretty impressive.

It’ll come boxed with a copy of Halo 4 - only a standard version mind – two controllers, and sports a 320GB hard drive. Included in the box are some DLC codes for extra game and avatar content too.

You can get all of this for £269.99 – and there doesn’t appear to be a Kinect in sight.

Alongside the console’s release there will also be a pretty snazzy looking controller, which is also translucent and, if we’re honest, looks much better than those bundled in the box.

The controller will cost $59.99, which equates to around £39.99 – however there has been no official pricing statement for the UK yet.

Strangely, the controller will be available from the 21st October – a few weeks ahead of Halo 4‘s launch.
