There will be two editions of the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 Premium Edition will sell for $399.99 USD (€399.99, £279.99). The Xbox 360 Premium edition will have a signature metallic detailing and comes bundled with 20GB Xbox 360 Hard Drive, Xbox 360 Wireless Controller, Xbox 360 Faceplate, Xbox 360 Headset, Xbox 360 Component HD-AV Cable, Xbox Live Silver membership and a bonus Media Remote Control (limited time only).
