Amongst the other small announcements at last week's E3 conference was the September release a Halo 3 Xbox 360 which has an authentic Spartan green and gold finish and comes with matching Xbox 360 Wireless Controller; and the confirmation of a number of new coloured controllers, including pink and dark blue.

Microsoft are yet to confirm a European release date.
