Union Jack Xbox 360 coming May 25

Microsoft’s announced a Union Jack-branded Xbox 360 Kinect bundle will launch at the end of this month in – where else – the UK.

The bundle will feature a Union Jack-branded 4Gb console, branded controller and a Union Jack-themed Kinect camera.

The pack will also come with two games: Kinect Adventures and Kinect Sports. Three months of Xbox Live gold will also be included.

The whole shebang comes out for £249.99 on May 25.

If anyone buys this they deserve to have their entrails ripped out and shoved back in through their bumhole.

@1 I agree.

I think I’ve also just been sick in my mouth.

Good god, will you just look at it.

That said, I can think of at least one of my ‘friends’ who is going to be all over this like Lindsay Lohan on a crack covered penis.

Why is it all splodgy? It looks as if it’s been draped in a flag, that’s been used as a wank rag!!

I bet if the Star Spangled Banner had been used, it’d have been fucking pristine. Not this edgy, urban, graffiti styled piece of shit :-S

@8, I’m going to guess someone had the bright idea of doing a Union Jack edition, had one mocked up, realised it looked cheesy as fuck, but rather than just fuck the idea right out the window they decided “everything looks cooled distressed” so they dragged it round the block behind their car a couple of times.

@7 I thought Lindsay preferred to sup at the hairy saucer?

Don’t like it too much but it’s not the worst idea and may tie with Olympic fervour (assuming there is any) enough to generate a few extra sales.

They should do a “skinhead” edition.

^ Well as any English person knows, to show any kind of national pride, is to admit to being a rampant racialist. Hence Union Jack = Skinhead.

Using that logic this IS the skinhead edition, no?

@14, It’s close… But it needs Doc Martin red leather control pads… Which would be awesome :-)
