"The new box is crazy sexy in glossy black with touch-sensitive buttons, and Microsoft says it's "whisper quiet," with one large fan instead of two -- the new 45nm chipset undoubtedly generates less heat to begin with. On the features front, it's got integrated 2.4GHz 802.11n WiFi, five USB ports, and 250GB of storage..." -Engadget.com http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/slim-xbox-360-gets-official-at-299-shipping-today-looks-angul/Apparently they're ready to ship NOW! I like that they added WiFi directly to the box and that they FINALLY decided to address the Red Ring of Death issue. I don't know if this is enough to just blindly buy one though. Mainly because the features that they added or addressed, I've had to pay up the ass for already (wireless connector, RRoD) and no amount of shiny new gloss and sleek curves is gonna make me spend $300 for something that I already have.
On another note Microsoft also announced that "Project Natal" is now officially called "Kinect".
"No Controllers. Just you.
Kinect brings games and entertainment to life in extraordinary new ways, with full body play. Arms, legs, feet, and hands, with Kinect there are no controllers, just you. It’s so natural, so intuitive that technology evaporates, letting the natural magic in all of us shine through. All you need to do is jump in." -xbox.comhttp://www.xbox.com/en-US/kinect/
This looks interesting in that it is body recognition software to play XBOX 360 games and kinect navigation as well as xbox voice command. Here's a video from E3 that I found on Youtube. Take a look and tell me what you think.
