If it isn't drastically smaller (usually the main selling point of a hardware revision, and it doesn't look like it is), it better have everything built-in.

This. Also as far from what I can see, it looks pretty terrible. Having everything built in is actually great, but would render my current 250 gig HDD useless, and combined with it not looking great + not really being any smaller there doesn't seem to be much incentive for current owners to switch over.

Normally I would say that wouldn't be much of an issue, but if they're doing the rebrand to try to get a new audience between that and Natal/Kinect with all of this built in + the cost of Natal/Kinect I can't see that total cost being under $300, which is not a mass market price.

It's ugly... but I don't really look at my consoles (my 360 is under my desk). All I really care about is pricing with and without Natal.

Right, because looks are more important than hardware improvement.

Eh I'd like to have internel power source, but not at the cost of size.

Doesn't really look like it got any bigger, but it's pretty hard to tell from that angle.

My confusion with this pic is that it looks like it would not be able to sit "flat" anymore.

I would have thought for sure MS would have went for a slot loading drive. A tray is so outdated.

Given that I'm having some pain with my current 360 drive, I am seriously smh at that. REALLY. A slot loader can't be that expensive.

I'm going to wait until I see some proper photos and dimensions before giving it a kicking but that image doesn't really do it any favours. It almost like a parody picture "oh hey we made our new Xbox slim by taking a normal 360 and putting a belt round it's waist".

The current 360s already run pretty quietly...

The current design philosophy was "inhale," this one looks more like "suck your chest in to fit into that prom dress, fatty"

My Jasper Elite is whisper quiet — when playing games off the HDD (only way to go in my mind), it is virtually silent.

I'm sorry I just don't believe that, either your fans aren't working properly or your perception of noise is radically different from many people, "virtually silent"?, impossible.

Looks like some crap you would find on an xbox modders forum

"Hai guies! I modded my 360 into an old pc case I found!"

This looks like an obvious step toward the more hardcore.

With natal, I would have expected xbox go toward the cutesy approachable side.

We shall see ah,

If only he knew that his plans would result in unleashing Charles Logan upon the 24 world. Kind of makes up for his whole nuclear bomb rape attack failing, in a way.

I buy it. At my last job, we had maybe 20 debug kits and the noise levels between units varied dramatically. A few were pretty much whisper quiet and some of the others sounded like jet engines. Totally random.

Every time I turn mine on I feel like it's the day it will explode. But it's an old model so..:D

Remember guys, maybe this thing is just built in:

I'm pretty sure the PSU is not included.

My guess is that the new model has the same size as the PS3 slim. The motherboard on the pictures wasn't much smaller than the current one.

I say lets wait for real pictures and impressions. Maybe it looks better in real, kinda like the PS3 slim. Oh, ,and it would be awesome if it's really black. Not Elite "black".

My guess. Its not "slim". It´s redesigned to be quieter, have everything built in, and lasts forever.

That's what I'm wondering because if they don't really go smaller then it ain't really a slim. Well they probably wouldn't even use slim, but I guess we shall see.

It's not a surprise to see MS fucking up the design approach. Releasing a casual oriented device with a back to Xbox 1 hardcore approach on the redesign is so MS.

So, when will this hit stores?

Imminently, surely? Or will they do something to keep current units moving even if this is further out?

Yeah my launch model died a few months ago. I bought a new arcade. Amazed by the lightness of the power adapter and how silent it is.

I love Microsoft's pre-E3 leaks. Legendary.

Oh, and I don't think it's necessarily ugly. I need to see larger pictures of it before passing judgement.
