New XBOX 360 Announced!

[Spriche]

Microsoft's press conference just wrapped and was mostly focused towards project natal which has now been officially named Kinect. But they were saving the best for last!  Microsoft's Don Mattrick unveiled a new smaller XBox 360 with built-in wifi, a 250GB hard drive, and is also quieter. This new system will ship for 299.99, the same price as the current elite THIS WEEK!

360 slim huh?  thats awesome!  it looks so much better than the ps3 slim... which looks like a Chinese knockoff >.>

[froggy]

Ps3's are the  , best system ever, and i agree with you Kilokk , The Ps3 slim looks like a chinese knockoff. The 360 slim bodystyle looks sorth of cheapish, and " Me No Like"

[Kilokk]

well now that built in wifi is there, what are the ps3 fanboys gonna say now? that is my main question at this point.  think about it, with the first ps3's the fanboys (and sony themselves) attacked microsoft for not having full BC, then it was free online, then when people realized how awesome it was they said it has no wifi.  all it has left is bluray XD

Your "opinion" doesn't rate against facts.

Internal HDD, internal wifi, 5 USB ports now, new case, new fan placement, the internals are completely optimized over the old one, and I'm willing to bet $100 this is the Valhalla single GPU/CPU chipset.

Yes, in fact that Valhalla motherboard has a fan that blows air through the side. There is a fan vent on the side which is proof to believe this is the new Valhalla release.

i like the new features, but i don't like that case. looks like a step in the wrong direction IMO

[PspKicks316]

I don't understand why people need to about the case.

If you don't like it, get a different case or mod it.

whats not to like its black and shiny. I loe it, it will look great beside my other equipment

just stating my opinion on the stock case man. i could mod the hell out of a prius and make it look sexgasmic if i really wanted to, but that doesn't change the fact that i don't like the way they look stock. thats all i was sayin there.
