Whats the point? It doesn't even look like R2

I quite like it, don't think I'd pay that much for it though. The R2 sounds on power on/off and eject are good for a laugh (at least for the Star Wars fans amongst us) the first time you hear them but I think they might get annoying after a while too.

The joypad looks like it's got the updated “twistable” + d-pad (which, tbh is 100% better than the old style circle d-pad especially for fighting games).

Fantastic idea and brilliant looks, but that price would put me off. But with all the die hard star wars fans out there, I am sure they will sell plenty of the these packs.

I love the C3PO controller. Think its priced a tad to high though.

I like it.. it made me smile when i saw it. :) I don't think the price is too overblown, since it has a Kinect Sensor and 320GB HD, but it is probably a bit too much for existing/older Xbox owners to justify getting it imho.
