It looks ok, obviously much slimmer, larger storage and built in wifi (which it should have had to start with). All other internal hardware is the same as far as i can tell. Think ill stick to my elite xbox 360, not much point in upgrading. Also mine is flashed so i doubt the new ones will be able to be flashed as of yet. It sill seems Microsoft will only include a composite cable in the box, no HDMI or component which is a little dissapointing.

Kinect looks allright, but i don't think it will be something that i will use. Having a controller is always much easier as well as more repsonsive, and i think more enjoyable.

It seems they have merged 2 fans into 1 with the slim, hence the quietness. Which is interesting as it uses the same chipset as the current 360's, I wonder if the unit will run warmer? To be honest my xbox 360 is not that loud at all, providing I run games from the hard drive.

The old xbox 360 arcade and elite have had a $50 price drop in the US

Someone tell me how 4 mates are supposed to have a FIFA World Cup 2010 tournament with kinect?
