"The latest sweep of the Retail Radar picked up an international assortment of possibly incoming releases, with a slate of Halo 3-branded accessories for the distinctly American Xbox 360 shooter, and a trio of Japanese games possibly making their way to US shores.

While Microsoft is already offering a full selection of Halo 3 packages, the publisher apparently has more plans in store to capitalize on the series' highly anticipated Xbox 360 debut. GameStop is listing product pages for two Xbox 360 controllers with Halo art designs--one for the Covenant and one for the Spartans--as well as a Halo 3-branded wireless headset.

All three peripherals are expected to ship September 4 with a $59.99 price tag. That's the same price as the unbranded wireless headset, but a $10 premium over Microsoft's standard Xbox 360 pads. According to the product descriptions, the controllers feature original artwork from Spawn creator Todd McFarlane and come packed with a Halo 3 figurine from McFarlane Toys.

In slightly less mainstream matters, a number of heretofore import-only games showed up on retailer Web sites recently as well. First of all, GameStop is taking preorders for Square Enix's DS turn-based strategy game Front Mission 1st, a remake of the original turn-based Super Nintendo strategy game. GameStop lists it with a $34.99 price tag and an expected October 2 release date.

Rental service GameFly is allowing subscribers to add some other interesting imports to their queues, specifically Koei's Orochi Warriors for PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360, and Daisenryaku Exceed for the PS2. Orochi Warriors is a crossover action game featuring characters from Samurai Warriors and Dynasty Warriors, while Daisenryaku is a long-running series of military turn-based strategy titles, last seen in the US in 2005 with Dai Senryaku VII for the Xbox. GameFly expects Orochi Warriors to arrive for both systems on September 27, preceded by an August 31 release for Dainsenryaku Exceed.

I was going to post this in the Console & Acc. forum, but seeing as how it's Halo related, I thought I might as well!

Here's the pictures I found of the items:

Sorry they arn't very big, but if you look closely you can make them out. I really like the design of the Headset, it's simple and...well... simple! As for the controllers, though amazing art, it's a little too much to look at. I don't know if those are prototypes or the final designs, but it's a lot of clutter on a single gamepad... what do you think?

Pretty cool stuff, but I don't see me giving up my already stellar wireless headset for a new colour scheme! Sorta reminds me of a recent console release... *cough* ELITE! *cough*

Thoughts?

I do agree that the controllers are a little "cluttered," but I'm not very impressed with the headset. I could just paint one myself to match that, apply a little H3 decal, and viola!

I loved the way Plantronics did the Halo 2 headset, with the transparent green plastic. If the H3 one was along that line, something that I couldn't reproduce myself, then I'd think about picking it up.

What I'm more interested about is in the last paragraph about the imported games, specifically Orochi Warriors. I've been a fan of Koei's games since Dynasty Warriors 3, which was the first game I bought for my first PS2. And I still support them, I've got Dynasty Warriors 5 Empire, as well as both Samurai Warriors 2 and Empire. Still need to get one achievement in SW2 and several in SW2E.

I just came across some better quality images:

It's unconfirmed, but you might get a small 3" figurine of the Cheif with the purchase of a Halo 3 Xbox 360 controller:

Pretty cool stuff. I like the Spartan controller a little more now that I've see it bigger.
