In celebration of the landmark Resident Evil franchise coming to Xbox 360 for the first time, Microsoft unveiled today an Xbox 360 Resident Evil Limited Edition Console Bundle. Available the same day Resident Evil 5 ships to store shelves, Friday, 13th March, Xbox 360 fans will be able to pick up the bundle featuring an exclusive red Xbox 360 from select retailers.

Fans will enjoy the same premium Xbox 360 Elite experience at an even greater value with a copy of Resident Evil 5, matching Limited Edition red Wireless Controller, black Xbox 360 Headset, a 120 GB Hard Drive and exclusive premium Resident Evil 5 theme (download via Xbox LIVE). Supplies are very limited, so Resident Evil fans will want to pre-order theirs today.

With the release of Resident Evil 5 and the special edition red console, the game has found a new home on Xbox 360. The new two-player cooperative experience in Resident Evil 5 is a perfect fit for Xbox LIVE. With 17 million members and growing, Xbox LIVE connects Resident Evil fans and their new red Xbox 360 consoles to their friends on the couch or across the globe. To further provide a taste of the full entertainment experience available on Xbox LIVE, fans will also receive a bonus card to download the hit Xbox LIVE Arcade title from Capcom, Super Street Fighter ll Turbo HD Remix.

As an addition to this information, I’d like to say that I managed to complete the demo levels for Resident Evil 5 about six times. Is it going to be good then? Oh yes, I would imagine that it’ll be a very good game indeed. If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on a limited edition red console then that’ll make the game just that little bit sweeter.
