360 Slim looks horrible.
Stupid DLC monthly exclusivity that no one really cares about considering how bad the COD series has grown to.
Kinect is almost as big as the 360 Slim.
Can't wait for Sony's conference.
Microsoft done a decent job last year with Milo and Kinect and some gameplay of MW2, but this year it's just on par with 2009 Nintendo (which I can tell you was plain horrible)
Sony will most likely do the best again this year.
Yeah, a little bit of fanboyism here, but MS done bad.
BTW, got to give it to Microsoft for having a 250GB HDD and built in wireless. Something that I've bitched about since the beginning, and the price on Play.com is only £200, but same price as PS3 when Live is bought.
I just wished they took notes from Sony to make a Slim model that looks half-decent.

kikzm33z i know your a huge sony fan boy but honestly u cant tell me the slim ps3 looks good i actually like my non slim version well the looks of it better but thats jsut my two cents. And i'll admit i didnt see much from M$ this time which blows. But i can see why the DLC is more exclusive to xbox live figuring the online experience is better lets see what sony has i might have to start playing more ps3 games if they bring something good to the table this year.

I think that's highly unlikely. But there's no such thing as an unbreakable console, so only time will tell. =)

Initially I doubt it will be possible. This is an entirely new XBox360 so the hackers probably need to rewrite the flash code for the new DVD drive.
Depending on the price I may pick one up in the future but it all depends on the initial price point and how fast it comes down.
Also, it's nice to see Microsoft finally give the XBox a built-in wireless card instead of having to pay $70 for a wireless G card or $90 (!) for a Wireless N card.
Has Microsoft relieved the dimensions of the 360 slim yet?

The original PS3 looks better than the Slim, I never denied the fact and I've been saying that since the 1st picture of the Slim.
You can't deny that the Slim looks good in person.
You can't call me a HUGE Sony fanboy. I'd be basically swearing at Microsoft without justification if I was huge Sony fanboy.
But yeah, 360 Slim looks horrible.

As long as 360 is cheaper than PS3, there is no reason for MS to make a move.
For my taste, is still looks damn ugly, but its much much prettier than the old.

To me it looks rather nice. Check out some more live snapshots at Joystiq. Got to see it in person, though, to make the call. I sure wouldn't mind replacing my 1st batch 360 vacuum cleaner (must be well over 100dB when running) with a more quiet version. Mind you, fat PS3 ain't that quiet either in my cabinet. =)

This new 360 still retails for $299. Same price as the PS3. If Sony drops the 120GB PS3 to $200 like the rumors say, then Microsoft is still in trouble.

Maybe it's me but it doesn't look much slimmer to me.
built in wireless is nice though even though I already ran a cable in my house and have mine hardwired. I figured my TV Receiver does not have wireless and I need that so I do not get the no phone line charge and I bought the wired adapter for my Wii so that along with a mini-switch is pretty nice.

Well said. The 360 isn't much slimmer, there are comparison photo's already leaked onto the net; its maybe an inch and half smaller around. Tho I still interested in Kinect; I disappointed that MS earlier announced it was compatible with Windows 7, but didn't show that off at E3.

Just to clarify it is NOT called the Xbox 360 Slim. Just the same Xbox 360.

Yep, I tried to get that across by keeping the slim lowercase in title.

Yeah, same w/ the PS3 slim model, but people are gonna call them that to differentiate. I believe the "slimline" PS2 was also never officially called it.

Gawd, that is one ugly console! Looks like a shiny tin box which someone stepped over. I like the Slim PS3's looks. It's not as good as Original PS3 but it's not ugly at all..very slick. and this Xbox looks like some stupid set-top box.

So...other than the included hard drive and built in wireless....it's still the same console in a new case? Think they would have given me some incentive to buy it...

Well, I like the glossy finish.
But IMO, this new 360 model looks like the old one but with more hard edges and removed the roundness.
Don't like it.
