Not only is this much more convenient than attaching an adaptor, it’s also a significant cost saving considering how ungodly expensive the Xbox 360 Wi-Fi adaptor was. The removable hard drive which was previously located prominently on top of the console was redesigned to be installed internally via a removable section of the grill on the bottom and was no longer externally visible when installed. The Star Wars edition was stylized as R2-D2 and included a matching white Kinect accessory and C-3PO controller with updated stick design and transforming D-pad. Quite why Microsoft still hasn’t gone down the Sony PS3 route of letting you use any hard drive you like we don’t know, but c’est la vie.

There’s a Kensington lock connection point, too, for ensuring that the boardroom Xbox doesn’t go walkabout.

We’re not so sure that we didn’t prefer the previous colour scheme, but since the PS3 Slim changed from gloss black to matt black, we presume Microsoft has no choice but to go the other way. The Halo 4 edition included two matching controllers and was the only edition to have controllers which also featured blue lights.
