Here it is: the eagerly anticipated (and one might argue, long overdue) Xbox 360 Slim. First outed by an Italian ad yesterday, the redesigned Xbox is an angular take on the Xbox 360 frame. We've got some pics, fresh from Microsoft's keynote. Head into the gallery for the full experience.

@Voshempa The real improvement that I can see with this is its connectivity with KIN and an expandable storage capacity. Although, I do welcome its new features like (zune connectivity and ESPN 3) as well as with the price! It's still 299 USD. (just like the fat 360) Complete Details: http://2su.de/Qjb

It looks like they even changed the color of the joysticks and dpad from gray to black. Nice

I like it too! Just hope the D-pad actually works and doesn't just slide around like a pancake in a skillet.
Also; is it me or does Kinect look humongous in those pics?

No Memory Unit port then?

No...gone.
That's why the last dashboard update included USB Flash Drive support.

Glossy plastic is so 2007.

That's why my new 2010 LG LED HDTV has a gloss black finish?

@Uncontrol I actually despise glossy plastic. It just screams "cheap," like the kind of garbage "ghetto fabulous" furniture they sell in those "discount" furniture stores where they fool poor people into buying overpriced crap they think is "fancy."
Hated the glossy on PS3 (waited for slim, and thank god it went matte!), hate it on 360.

My only question is "does it still have a power brick?"
Pictures of the back of the system clearly show a very different AC input, so I'm hoping they found a viable means to get rid of it from the new design.

I like it, but I wish it was flat and not angled.

i want one. but can be bothered with all the data transfer from my old console
Posted: Jun 14th 2010 3:37PM Chief Oddball said
@Dogtopia Speaking of which, I wonder how that's gonna work now that the hard drive appears to be internal? Here comes another Data Migration Cable SKU...

Microsoft did an amazing job this E3 press conference. Kinect looks amazing, I hate to be a party pooper for Sony but I'm wondering how Move will complete?

All of your guys are working for Microsoft right? It's the only explanation for your idiocy.

I wonder if it can be placed in a horizontal manner and still be stable. The angular design makes me wonder if it's meant to be a vertical system.

Where do you put the hard drive?
Posted: Jun 14th 2010 3:43PM McDuckScrooged said
@theangryheretic They followed the sony ps3 design.. Its hidden under a flap.. Gametrailers showed it off afterwards, its a complete rip off of the ps3 design.
Except you cant put any drive you want in it, the drive is in some sort of moulded plastic casing...

@theangryheretic seriously they showed it at then end of gametrailers, its exactly like the ps3 -- why did I get down voted for that ?
I am sure there will be pictures of it tomorrow and you will see exactly what I mean.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't just use the existing data cable, since it just connects with USB.

The port for the Kinect...
Not having the external harddrive is ind of annoying if you wanted to upgrade.
