Built in Wifi, probably low failure rate, and sexier. Doesn't seem pointless to me.

It isn't "sexier". It if was "sexier" people here and elsewhere wouldn't be mocking it right now.

Hmm... well... guess all those holes in it's PC tower-like exterior means it'll never RRoD. Slim owners 1up those of us with 360 normals. Good job on that MS... *knock on wood until this RRoD like "WAIT FOR JA--oh, WAIT FOR XENO-Oh..." boards.*

I think it looks okay, yay for built-in wi-fi, and I hope the power brick is built into the console this time.

And I knew it would be revealed at E3 time.

I'm with you, and I'd buy it for the wifi, of course it better not 3RL all over again. Does look like a PC tower though.

I'm sure someone has mentioned this, but why do people assume it's a "slim"? It's most likely a redesign for the Kinect launch.

It's the internet. People go on the internet to bitch and complain, GAF included. Negative people are just going to be more vocal. If you only followed the internet and never went outside, you'd think Halo would be one of the most hated franchises in video game history and Ron Paul was going to be the next President.

Except for the curved top (to prevent you putting something on it to hurt the cooling) the PS3 is pretty plain, the original one at least.

European NES's were like that tape players.

iTV looks better than any console ever released. As usual, Apple outclasses these companies in terms of taste.

EDIT: The US NES was the same, silly me.

well I think that because they ( Sony , Nintendo , Microsoft ) always go for "gamey" or " toy-ish" looking gaming systems, Apple don't do that.

for an example Sony Electronic devices are freaking sexy and super slick as hell but all the PlayStations systems are ugly.

That design looks terrible. I hope it is fake...but I know better than to expect such a thing.

Exactly. Same with Kinect.

GAF (leak): "Wii?! Wtf? What a fucked up name. Fail incoming"

GAF (leak): "That's the PS3 Slim? What the fuck, can't be, looks like a cheap Chinese knock off"

Yadaa yadda, we've heard this all before.

Hell, Sony has almost even recovered from US $599.

I thought everyone was expecting a slimmer model due to the smaller MB pics that got leaked or something.

Also find it funny wifi is/will be a selling point!(in 2010)

More important: It says "compatible with Kinect™". Is that the name for natal?

And yes, it comes with WiFi.

Yeah it's th pe real deal alright but the console is sorta ugly with the awkward form. Couldn't they hire better industrial designers... Hopefully it looks better in person

Just taking a quick look at Sony's electronics, I have to agree completely. I hadn't really paid much attention, but you're right, they make some attractive consumer electronics.

I don't really get why they choose to make consoles look 'kiddy' then. I actually think if the Wii didn't look like cheap crap it'd be the most 'mature' looking console so far. In terms of actual design, it looks good I think.

At the beginning of this generation, I'd say Sony makes the best looking consoles, but now I'm leaning towards Nintendo. Wii still looks great.

That is without doubt the ugliest console I've ever laid eyes on. Can Microsoft, with all their zillions of dollars, please hire some good designers? I mean, I know they've got a reputation to uphold with everything ugly and with stupid names. But this is 2010 where Nintendo and Apple have practically given away the secrets to good design for years now.

I might have liked this when I was 15 and enjoyed putting neon lights in my PC with a clear perspex window. But I've grown up, and so has the world. It's not the 90s anymore.

I think the redesign is fine, but all the news surrounding Kinect, including the name, has left me shaking my head. I had high hopes, but it looks like MS is following the copycat route as closely as it can. Even the name is practically an alternative to "Wii." It's a shame, because the peripheral does add new potential to game control. I wanted to see it used more creatively than simply rehasing Nintendo's minigame compilations without a controller.

It's tough for me to reserve judgment, even if (maybe especially because) I'm following Why For's train of thought: we've seen this happen before. Kinect, at this point in time, looks like another Playstation Eye. It looks camp and throwaway. The fact that Microsoft had been pouring so much time and effort into advertising and hyping it up had led me to believe otherwise, but now I'm not so sure.

Oh, don't read my posts in the Kinect thread.... :lol

I think the Slim design is alright. Not butt ugly but not as clean as the original.

Not an asshole.
Glad I waited to re-up on a 360.

I will be buying an Xbox Oggi.

Bummed that it looks like shit though, oh well.

It's like one of those forced perspective optical illusions, the design is really fucking with my head.
