Limited Editions of Xbox 360 Blue - a combination between Microsoft, Adidas and Electronic Arts
April 5th, 2006
The 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany is approaching, and Microsoft wants in on the World Cup Football fever. In Japan, Microsoft is collaborating with FIFA, Adidas, and Electronic Arts to release a limited edition Xbox 360 bundle with a World Cup theme. The Xbox 360 Blue Limited Edition: 2006 FIFA World Cup will launch with Electronic Arts’ 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany soccer game on April 27 in Japan.
The bundle will feature the console, several accessories, and a copy of the Electronic Arts game. The console will also be tricked out with an Adidas Japan Blue faceplate featuring the colors of Japan’s national soccer squad. The bundle will be limited to a shipment of 10,000 units. It will be open priced, meaning that it doesn’t have a MSRP, but some online retailers are selling the package for around $430.
The original Xbox had a few Limited Editions during its time, and it seems that Microsoft have continued in the same vein with a Japanese exclusive limited edition Xbox 360, which will be released at the end of April 2006.
The blue 2006 World Cup Xbox 360 is the latest product of a partnership between Microsoft and Adidas, following the sports company’s sponsored Xbox 360 booths in previous months. The Premium pack will come with a limited edition faceplate, side panels, and a copy of EA’s 2006 World Cup with only 10,000 copies produced.
