"The Halo 3 soundtrack could soon be joining classics like "Jingle Bell Rock" and "Deck the Halls" on your holiday playlist, if you deck your halls with Hallmark's new Xbox 360 Keepsake ornament. It's now available from Hallmark's online store and Amazon for $28.99 and pressing its power button plays the console's swooshy startup sound and then about 20 seconds of the Behold a Pale Horse track from the Halo 3 soundtrack that incorporates elements of the Halo theme, according to IGN."
"The 3.25-inch tall replica of Microsoft's nearly 20-year-old console (the 360 launched in November 2005) is surprisingly detailed for something that's going to get lost amongst a sea of ornaments on your tree, and includes a matching mini controller permanently leaning up against the console's base. It's powered by a trio of replaceable button batteries should you get overly nostalgic and hit the button ad nauseam."
Hallmark's Xbox 360 Keepsake ornament plays the console's startup swoosh and about 20 seconds of the Halo 3 track "Behold a Pale Horse" when its power button is pressed. The ornament sells for $28.99 through Hallmark's online store and Amazon. The replica stands 3.25 inches tall and reproduces many exterior details, including a mini controller permanently leaning against the console's base. The ornament operates on three replaceable button batteries and the power button illuminates green when pressed. The audio excerpt incorporates elements of the Halo theme and references the nearly 20-year legacy of the Xbox 360, which launched in November 2005. The ornament does not appear to reproduce the Xbox 360's Red Ring of Death.
