Microsoft and Activision Publishing have revealed an Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition console to hit with the global launch of Modern Warfare 2, the sequel to 2007’s Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Modern Warfare 2 was the inspiration for the high-speed, low-drag design of the console.
“It is thrilling to bring the exclusive ‘Modern Warfare 2’-inspired Xbox 360 console to ‘Call of Duty’ fans. Being able to work so closely with the talented team at Infinity Ward on the design has enabled us to develop a console that will set bragging rights around the world,” commented Albert Penello, senior director of global marketing for Xbox 360. “These fans deserve the biggest Xbox 360 console ever, and we’re delivering with more storage space than ever before and freedom to enjoy their favorite games and downloadable Game Add-ons, including the first two ‘Modern Warfare 2’ maps that will be available first on Xbox Live.”
The special edition Xbox 360 console features a design inspired by the thriller and will come with two Xbox 360 wireless controllers, an Xbox 360 headset and a standard edition copy of Modern Warfare 2. The Xbox 360 console will have a storage space of 250 GB.
“It’s the highest compliment to the team and our fans to have a special themed Xbox 360 console,” stated Vince Zampella, CEO of Infinity Ward. “The precision and detail that’s been put into the console captures the intensity and feel of ‘Modern Warfare 2.’ We can’t wait for our community and fans around the world to see for themselves on Nov. 10.”
