Ashley Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 50% more PS3-like, 50% more run over by an 18 wheeler. Shipping today! (in America) Includes 250 GB HD, built in WiFi. One free for every audience member. Gates has obviously been watching Ellen.
gaggle64 Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 It's a fugly looking thing, but I suppose you can't argue with it if you're still looking to pick up an Xbox for the first time. Stores will be paying you to take the old models away from them now though surely?
Wesley Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 The same price... now... considering it includes a bigger HDD and WiFi then... I dunno. It could be justified in comparison to the XBox 360 as it is now. But this thing is now being directly targeted at the Wii audience. So... they now have to buy this (which is more expensive) PLUS the Kinect to match the Wii. Also... no price announced for Kinect?
Retro_Link Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Yeah, I'll prob get one of these, as I don't have a 360. Just a bit of a shame it looks like someone sat on it!
Cube Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Also... no price announced for Kinect? According to the pre-conference talks, it seems that Microsoft haven't decided on a "Sell it as high as you can" or a "Get everyone to buy it" approach.

McPhee Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 If it's really that much smaller I'll buy one, short on space under the TV and I'm kinda worried that the 360 is a bit too wedged in. Plus, my warranty ends at the end of the year.
Oli1983uk Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 maybe a spare for my bedroom! just depending on the price when it comes to the uk
Cube Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 My HDD recently died (so I'm back on 20GB) so a snazzier console seems like a good idea.
Shorty Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Why are people calling it the "Slim"? Xbox never referred to it as that... it is smaller both ways. I wonder if you will get one if your Elite RRoDs...
ReZourceman Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 I need my chunky 360. It gives the extra inche that my PS3 needs to stand on so the HDMI cable reaches my TV.
Shorty Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Yeah ReZ we get it. You don't use your 360 except as a stand for your PS3 so you can fit your dick in it. You can stop going on about it now.
Daft Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 I think it looks great. I would have picked one up if there was also a price drop. It is funny how it looks more like a PS3 (The older shiny one, not the ugly new one).
ThePigMarcher Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 maybe a spare for my bedroom! just depending on the price when it comes to the uk Apparently, £199 and (re)launches here July 16th.
Ten10 Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Apparently, £199 and (re)launches here July 16th. Yep confirmed on their twitter account. New Slim Xbox 360 console will be available in Europe on July 16th.
Wesley Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 So I'm thinking Microsoft are waiting for a price-drop until Kinect is out. Otherwise I don't see how the Wii audience will be bought with a £320 kit plus games.

Wesley Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Yeah I'm thinking that their plan. That way they get all the geeks buying it for buying sake, and a price-drop for the casual audience.

Ike Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 No more noise is a big plus, though I'm not planning on getting one any time soon.
