First you get the cool paint job of Gold / Green . You also get voice headset and battery charge and play kit so you dont have to worry about your batteries dying or buying it seperately. But the best deal may be that the falcon chip and extra heatsink is included making red rings hopefully history.

Lee - See all my reviews    = Fun:  This review is from: Xbox 360 Console Halo 3 Special Edition (with HDMI) (Video Game) I ordered the Xbox360 Halo Edition because it was supposed to have the new Falcon chip. After reading the reviews from Amazon, some people received the xbox 360 with the new chip and some didn't. When I received my xbox 360 it was from Lot #733 so it was still the old chip. I believe the Lots #734 and up are the new Falcon chips. I was disappointed that I didn't get the new chip but it was still less quiet than my previous Xbox 360 that overheated. Besides that there is nothing wrong with the Xbox 360. It would have been nice to have gotten the new chip since it was supposed to prevent overheating but if this Xbox 360 runs well it doesn't matter if it has the Falcon or not and I will be happy. Shipping was awesome!!! I ordered it Wednesday nite and I received it Friday afternoon on the Free shipping.

AMAZON ROCKS!., January 7, 2008 By  Bryan A. Baskett (Mansfield, TX USA) - See all my reviews    = Fun:  This review is from: Xbox 360 Console Halo 3 Special Edition (with HDMI) (Video Game) I ordered the XBox 360 Halo 3 Special Edition for my son, arrived quickly, He played it a total of 5 times and the unit locked up. After a couple of grueling conversations with Microsoft it was determined that the power converter was bad. They gave me a work order number and asked that I send it to my local repair facility for repairs, but weren't sure that this was going to fix the problem. I asked if they were going to send me a pre-paid mailing lable and was informed that "NO We won't pay shipping to the repair facility, but we will repair it for free." I couldn't believe it, we paid 400.00 for this over priced gaming unit which worked for all of 5 days, only to be told that I had to pay shipping to have it repaired. You would think that a company as large as Microsoft, that makes as much money as they do would at least pay the shipping to warranty thier products. But no dice. After being thoroughly pissed off by Microsoft, I remembered reading some reviews where people...

Amazon.com Product Description

Dragon Age II is a single player role-playing game (RPG) for play on the Xbox 360. Epic sequel to the BioWare developed 2009 Game of the Year, Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age II continues the adventure with a new hero, Hawke, and utilizes the choices made by the player to affect a story that spans ten years worth of time in-game. Additional game features include: the ability to choose your character's class and sex, a new cinematic in-game experience, a nonlinear narrative and the ability to import saved information from earlier Dragon Age games.

About Dragon Age II

Embark on an all-new adventure spread across a ten-year span of years with an all-new hero in the multiple award-winning Dragon Age saga. In Dragon Age II you are Hawke, said to have been one of the few to survive the destruction of your homeland. Forced to fight for survival, you gathered the deadliest of allies, amassed fame and fortune and sealed your place in history, eventually becoming in effect a legend in your own time. But legends are all in the telling.

Revel in the epic sequel to the 2009 Game of the Year, Dragon Age: Origins.

Dragon Age II utilizes a nonlinear narrative, taking the form of a story-within-a-story that hinges upon your exploits as told by the storyteller, Varick. Yet like any good storyteller, Varick tends to exaggerate from time to time. When questioned on events related to Hawke, Varick may present a different scenario in which Hawke's exploits play out. It is within these replays that the decisions of the players hold sway, as their particular versions of Hawke relive these events. Is the player's particular version of Hawke, male or female? A warrior, a rogue, or a mage? Is Hawke good-natured or something less than a salt-of-the-Earth type? Is romance in the air amongst characters he/she associates with? These choices are all the player's to make and each affect the the outcome of the story at all levels.

253 of 271 people found the following review helpful Mixed Feelings..., March 8, 2011 By  cmyth "cmyth007" (Albany, Oregon United States) - See all my reviews = Fun:  Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: Dragon Age 2 (Video Game) I have mixed feelings about this game after playing it all day. Some of the things that other reviewers didn't like really don't bother me. For example, I don't mind that you can't pick a few different races this time around. That really only changed the first hour or so anyway. The reworked art style seems much better to me. In the original, although I loved the game, there was nothing spectacular or "dark" about the setting, considering they called it dark fantasy. I think they are closer this time around. They really dumbed a lot of it down, just like with ME2, and I think that was a mistake in some respects. You can no longer deck out your other party members with the best gear, because the only thing you can do is upgrade their equipment with runes. Want them to use a different weapon or give them better armor? Too bad. I actually also don't mind the narrative style of the storytelling either, although it does have its drawbacks. The real problems start with...

I've loved Bioware's games. Dragon Age Origins is one of my favorite games. My first play through took 60 hours and when I finished, I promptly restarted the game. The story and the conflict were engaging. The characters were unique and likable. All-in-all DA:O was a delightful throwback to games like Baldur's Gate. I can't recall many games in recent memory that hooked me as fast. However, here I am, debating on whether or not I will ever play through Dragon Age 2 again. This game needed at least another year or two of development. It's either the result of rushed development, tight resources, or laziness. First the Good: The graphics on the XBOX 360 version are an improvement over DA:O. The animations are improved. The soundtrack is better. The button...

Reining "Armchair Acitivist" (San Bernardino, CA) - See all my reviews    = Fun:  Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: Dragon Age 2 (Video Game) I wish there were half-ratings, because I don't feel this is a baseline 3 star game. More like 3.5. Just not good enough to be a 4. While I only experienced two freezes in the entire game, numerous things about the game bothered me. What stands out the most is the lack of creativity throughout the entire game. It didn't bother me so much that the whole game takes place in a single city, because if done correctly you would forget you're in just one city (and even if you remembered, you'd be amazed it was all one city). I think the city of Denerim in Origins had just as many locations as this new city setting takes place in. And while a couple of the city locations are fairly large, you will travel every inch of them so many times the city loses its charm pretty quickly. And it's unfortunate, because one of the strengths or getting the player familiarized with an area is that certain locations will inevitably come to be associated with events in the game.
