Along with a price, both the game and console release date has been confirmed for 3 April 2012. The stand alone game will cost you R399 while the console bundle – with its droid influenced look – will cost you R4699.
The console bundle will include:
- Kinect Star Wars game
- Custom R2-D2-themed Xbox 360 Console with custom sounds
- White Kinect Sensor
- Custom C-3PO-themed Xbox 360 Wireless Controller
- 320 GB Hard Drive
- Xbox 360 Wired Headset
- Kinect Adventures game
- Exclusive downloadable content
The jury is still out on whether the console will be an awesome piece of retro furniture in your living room or a garish 70’s throwback (or throw up). The same may be said for the game, but maybe the idea of throttling insubordinates as Darth Vader may just swing it.
