The Dark Knight Edition Xbox 360
Posted by Mark Wilson at 11:20 PM on August 5, 2008
ZOMG! The Dark Knight! Xbox 360! All in one!
We were unable to translate the source text clearly enough to get the full story--this unit spotted in Taipei will probably never see wide commercial release--but we're stomping the shit out of our current system just in case our dreams come true, The Dark Knight 360 is released and it does come packaged with trace amounts of Bale's musk.

They should make a case mod that makes the 360 look like the Tumbler

they could have made it so much cooler than just slaping the movie logo on it...

There are ads for this all over the internet. Those "YOU CAN WIN A DARK KNIGHT XBOX360!..... just enter your social security number and mothers maiden name"
Looks tight though. However, I think its time for something other than skins.

This baby is so hot, they put a protective case around the unit to keep it from burning down the universe.
Afraid I have to agree with strider_mt2k .. These tie-in system changes seem completely hallow and cheapen the original product. Fortunately, in this case, the original product is too good to be ruined by this.

That thing looks horrible. You guys make fun of the "steam punk" watch but then applaud this piece of turd? It's an Xbox Elite with a couple of crap stickers on it.

There a radio station here in Los Angeles (KROQ) that is giving one away. There is also supposed to be a joker themed one.

The gray accents and HDD make it look not that great. If they were black it'd look hotsauce, and even better if they made the front ring blue instead of green so it matched and wasn't just an akward casing on a regular old 360.

I don't even think stuff like this could tarnish what I thought was a fantastic film.

The article is pretty much talking about some event for students that just ended yesterday. On Friday, 8/1, there was some contest where the prize was one of The Dark Knight Xbox 360's. Anyone who was at the event was eligible to win.
I apologize if I missed something; I fled Taiwan in 2006 when they decided to deny switching my visa from student to worker status (even though I tried to work legally), and so my Chinese is a bit rough around the edges at the moment.

Does the big clear plastic case help with the noise? I'd buy one if it would make my 360 not sound so much like a hairdryer.

I'll take anything that has the Batman logo on it.
Or, eh, maybe not ANYTHING, but you know what I mean.

That looks pretty damn awesome.
Stupid two year old 360.

Instead of the red ring of death, when it fails it mocks you with a "Why so serious?" message.

Does it project your RROD into the sky when it fails?

They definitely could've made it look alot better, but lets face it...it's a Batman Xbox 360. That alone makes it delicious enough for me.

@Xavoc: you have to buy the projector separately or modify the hd-dvd player to project the RROD.

They are a few on Ebay right now from the recently finished Domino's Pizza Dark Knight contest. Look up "Dark Knight 360 edition", I even know one of the seller that has his listed on there.
