Halo Products Gone Wild: Halo 3 Branded Accessories and Messenger Kit Coming Next Week
Well, if you like game branded products or are a mega fan of Halo 3 than this Tuesday is your lucky day. Microsoft has decided to offer a pile of Halo 3 accessories September 4th. Included in this horde are two wireless controllers for the Xbox 360 featuring artwork designed by comic book creator and artist Todd McFarlane. The Covenant Brute as well as everyone's favorite armor clad soldier Master Chief will be featured on the otherwise matte white front of the joysticks. Also available is a Wireless headset done in the same iridescent green and copper motif as the special edition Halo 3 Xbox 360s seen floating around around the news.
Now, if the Halo 3 merch doesn't wet your whistle, also being released is the Xbox 360 Messenger Kit. This accessory is a thumb board keypad that attaches to the bottom of a 360 for fast text entry. Tragically, the first thing that came to mind when I saw this was how much easier it will be to enter names for my pinatas.
Full press release after the jump.
