Microsoft next week will begin selling a "special edition" version of its Xbox game console. The package will include a copy of "
Halo," the best-selling shooter game for the console, and an Xbox console with a bright green case, as opposed to the standard black.

A total of 200,000 units of the package will be available for $169 on April 13. Microsoft recently trimmed the price of the standard Xbox package to $150.
