Xbox 360 Limited Edition: Kinect Star Wars Bundle pictures

By Amir Iliaifar Published August 16, 2011

In what will perhaps be the coolest limited edition system ever produced, period. The new limited edition Kinect Star Wars Bundle, which launches alongside Kinect Star Wars this holiday season, will feature an Xbox 360 made to look like our favorite R2 unit, R2-D2, as well as a controller designed to resemble our favorite protocol droid C-3PO. The included Kinect abandons the existing black color scheme in favor of white to match the system. Also included with the system is a copy of Kinect Star Wars, in addition to the obligatory Kinect Adventures. If all that didn’t send you into hyperdrive there is also word that some sort of exclusive downloaded content will be packaged in as well.

How much intergalactic credits will the ultimate Xbox Star Wars experience set you back? Well, it all comes at a hefty price point of $449.99 when it releases later this year…may the funds be with you.

Ayaneo’s new handheld revives the Game Boy Advance. Nintendo probably wishes it had done it first

If you missed the Game Boy Advance, this handheld is built for you

The Game Boy Advance is celebrating its 25th anniversary in the US, and while Nintendo has largely chosen to honor the handheld through its Switch Online library, another company has decided to recreate the hardware itself. Chinese handheld maker Ayaneo has unveiled the Konkr Pocket Advance, a modern reinterpretation of the iconic Game Boy Advance that updates almost every part of the original while preserving the horizontal design that made Nintendo's console so beloved.

Rather than building a nostalgia piece that simply looks like the original, Ayaneo is targeting the growing retro gaming market with modern hardware. The Konkr Pocket Advance features a higher-resolution display, additional controls, USB-C connectivity and wireless support, making it less of a replica and more of a contemporary handheld inspired by one of gaming's most influential consoles.

Sony OLED high refresh-rate gaming monitor.

Sony’s ultra-fast OLED gaming monitor has finally made its way to store shelves. A few months after announcing the INZONE M10S II, the company has started shipping the esports-focused monitor across major global markets. Buyers in the US can purchase the monitor for $1,099.99. It costs £1,199 in the UK, while customers in supported Eurozone markets will have to fork out €1,349.

It uses a QHD Tandem WOLED panel that runs at a native 540Hz refresh rate. The monitor also has a 0.02ms response time and Sony’s Motion Blur Reduction technology. Sony worked with esports organization Fnatic on a separate competitive mode that trades resolution and usable screen size for an even higher refresh rate. (via Notebookcheck)
