Microsoft today brandished the latest weapon to help gamers take to the battlefields for the global launch of the year with the announcement of the Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Console.

Infinity Ward?s Modern Warfare 2, the blockbuster sequel to the best selling first-person action game in history, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, was the inspiration for the console's battle-ready design, which is available for pre-order today at retailers, and in other regions later this week.

Beginning with the game's worldwide release on November 10, fans can arm themselves with the Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Console, featuring an exclusive design inspired by the epic thriller, more storage space than ever before in a 250GB Hard Drive, two Xbox 360 Wireless Controllers, as well as an Xbox 360 Headset and a Standard Edition copy of Modern Warfare 2 for an estimated retail price of $399 (USD).

The Limited Edition Console was revealed at an exclusive preview event in Los Angeles where guests were the first to experience the game?s multiplayer gameplay on Xbox LIVE.

The Xbox 360 Modern Warfare 2 Limited Edition Console will be sold in Europe, the Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia), UK, US, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Australia, and New Zealand. On November 10, Activision Publishing will release Infinity Ward?s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The title continues the gripping and heart-racing action as players face off against a new threat dedicated to bringing the world to the brink of collapse.
