Xbox 360 Slim basically confirmed???

[_Caboose_]

Of the rumored devices we've been looking forward to getting official at E3 this year, two of the biggest come from Microsoft -- both of which, sadly, seem to have escaped from their bag a little early. First is Kinect, the re-naming of "Project Natal," and now it's looking like the rumored Xbox 360 Slim has been leaked early as well. An Italian site, Console Tribe, ran an ad (embedded after the break) showing the above rather more angular looking console that's definitely an Xbox 360, but definitely not a current model. It mentions that this model is compatible with the Kinect and also invites you to "live today." We're thinking this model was not supposed to go live until tomorrow, but seizing an extra day doesn't sound so bad for us.

Is it cheaper?

 

[_Caboose_]

Exactly same price as the old elite $299

But it does have Wireless N and a 250GB

All good, think I may me up one depending, but more than likely. I like the new look.

 

[mcryan]

Well it is confirmed now and it's amazing

 

[OmegaFenix]

It was inevitable. New design looks awesome but I won't be getting rid of my Big white beast just yet. $299 is going to relate to about R4K here.

As for Tin getting one free... lucky son of a....

Yeah the Xbox 360 slim does look pretty cool.

So do you want to tell me the ONLY new thing about this new console is a 250GB HDD and a wireless N connection? It seems a bit weird seeing that you can buy a 250GB HDD and a wireless adapter for your current XBOX. There HAS to be some sort of major hardware change on this thing?
