For $500, you can kit out your entertainment center with Microsoft’s “Limited Edition Halo 5: Guardians Bundle.” It’s a special version of the Xbox One etched with metallic blue accents and _Halo_\-inspired military symbology, all wrapped around a 1TB hard drive and connected to a similarly skinned Xbox One gamepad. You [can preorder the system now](http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/consoles/halo-5-guardians "undefined"), and it’ll be available on October 20, one week before _Halo 5: Guardians_ ships on October 27. You’ll also get _Halo 5: Guardians_ (though only as a download), the Warzone REQ Bundle (basically a bunch of unlockable weapons and armors, skins and assassination animations for the new Warzone multiplayer mode), FOTUS-class armor (think [spiky duds](http://www.halopedia.org/FOTUS-class%5FMjolnir "undefined")) with a special multiplayer emblem, a metallic Guardian model, the complete [_Halo: The Fall of Reach_ animated series](https://store.xbox.com/en-us/Xbox-One/Dlc/Halo-The-Fall-of-Reach-Animated-Series/4263b233-6969-420e-8dad-2755fa5a6dec "undefined"), dossiers for the game’s Blue and Osiris warring factions, a Spartan themed SteelBook and the classified orders given to Spartan Locke, the newly introduced playable character who’s hunting for an AWOL Master Chief at the game’s outset. For Master Chief buffs, take note that the Limited Edition’s gamepad is styled after Locke’s blueish armor. You’ll have to spend another $70 if you want the separately sold gold-and-green accented Master Chief gamepad. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3984570/xbox-halo/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3984570/xbox-halo/"},"headline":"Check Out the New Halo 5-Themed Xbox One","datePublished":"2015-08-04T20:46:31.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:06:15.918Z","description":"It's the ultimate Halo 5 bundle, and not cheap.","url":"https://time.com/3984570/xbox-halo/","keywords":["Tech","Video Games","Microsoft"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt35f99f0853ee2855/69885dda2dce01ad269e4ead/halo-5-xbox-one.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Matt Peckham","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/matt-peckham/"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt35f99f0853ee2855/69885dda2dce01ad269e4ead/halo-5-xbox-one.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"halo-5-xbox-one","caption":"","creditText":"Microsoft","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-tech/","name":"Tech"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3984570/xbox-halo/","name":"Check Out the New Halo 5-Themed Xbox One"}}]}] ```
