During Microsoft’s press briefing today, they announced a new slimmer version of the Xbox 360. The new Xbox 360 sports built in 802.11n Wi-Fi, a 250 GB hard drive, a redesigned hardware that results in “whisper quiet” use, touch-sensitive buttons that will turn on/off & eject your disc with a swipe, a custom Kinect port, a total of 5 USB slots, a smaller power supply, and will sell for $299. Another surprise from the Xbox 360 “slim” reveal is the new Xbox 360 is being shipped straight to retailers today, which means it will be available this weekend.
As you see in the photos, the new Xbox 360 has a sharper look to it than the current model of Xbox 360. Plenty of ventilation slots hopefully means less red ringing and more time actually enjoying your games. It also looks like the Xbox 360 ring has a chrome finish to it.
What do you think of the new Xbox 360 “slim” redesign? Be sure to share your thoughts in the comments.
Lmao wtf is this? Looks the same size, slim my ass.
Yeah it doesn’t look too slim lol.
I kinda like the new look.. the glossy black will go well next to my PS3
At E3 when he took the shell of the old 360 off of the new 360 you could tell the size differance. I cant wait to get my hands on one of them. [Kinda jelouse that everyone at their briefing got a free one though!!]
Is the hard drive internal?
Yea…they have a vid of it on Inside Xbox on the 360 dashboard.
Crap – now I will need to get new XBoxes this year. Love the integrated wireless and big drive.
This is great and so is price point.
