Highlights

• Limited edition consoles are a great entry point for new fans and draw in existing fans with unique features.
• The Modern Warfare 3 Xbox 360 bundle includes special sound effects and controllers, impressing fellow fans.
• Despite Microsoft saying goodbye to the Xbox 360, the strong fanbase ensures its status as a favorite for years to come.

An Xbox 360 fan got an incredible gift from their girlfriend in the form of a Xbox 360 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Limited Edition bundle. The Xbox 360 find is in fantastic condition and has fellow fans impressed at the girlfriend’s efforts.

Limited edition game consoles have been around for ages. The console bundles give new fans a great entry point to a console, automatically giving them a brand new game and in this case, a unique looking Xbox to boot. They also draw in existing fans when a limited edition console is just too cool to pass up. This particular console has a few unique features of its own.

Reddit user Riley9897 shared their new gift with fellow fans of the console. They revealed that their girlfriend had picked up a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Xbox 360 Limited Edition, complete with the original cords, controllers, hard drive, and even the mic, all in the console’s original box. Given the recent surge in nostalgia for this particular console due to Microsoft shutting down the Xbox 360 marketplace, this particular system is reminding a lot of fans of the heyday of the console.

The Excitement for the Modern Warfare 3 Xbox 360

While some console limited editions essentially just add a different exterior to the shell of the gaming device and controllers, this one was a bit more unique. Similar to some other limited edition Xbox 360s, like that of God of War, this one makes unique sound effects taken from the games when booting up and shutting down the system, as well as opening or closing the disc drive. The controllers were also unique for their time, offering a pivoting D-Pad that allowed users to adjust it as they saw fit.

As one might imagine, the comment section of the post has been filled with fellow fans congratulating Riley9897 on their new gift. Many thought that getting this kind of gift from their girlfriend meant that she should become their wife, with a few joking about mixing up engagement rings and the notorious Xbox 360 red ring of death. However, another player noted that they own the exact same system, and that for whatever reason, it’s never developed a red ring of death.

While Microsoft has essentially said goodbye to the Xbox 360, it’s clear that the console still has a strong fanbase that celebrates when a good find is made. With such a supportive community, chances are the Xbox 360 will remain a fan favorite for many more years to come.
