Rumours are abound about a red Xbox 360 console, initially thought to be tied in to a special limited edition Resident Evil 5 bundle. Then, a few days ago, a “Toys ‘R’ Us” employee snapped a photo of a Red Elite Xbox 360 listing from his store’s database.

Today, perhaps the first very real proof of a red Xbox 360 console has surfaced, hidden away in a press release announcing Microsoft’s latest Xbox promotion. A free copy of Halo Wars is to be given away with every Xbox 360 sold during the promotional period of 26 February 2009 – 26 March 2009.

While this could be a mistake of epic proportions, it is more likely that this information has slipped through inadvertantly prior to an official announcement for a new red console.

EB Games stores contacted today believe that they are due to have a limited edition red Elite console releasing alongside Resident Evil 5 on Friday 13 March, with a tentative price of 2 including 2 games - Resident Evil 5 and Gears of War 2. EB Games is a division of US games retailing-giant GameStop.
