At E3, the Electronic Entertainment Expo, held in Los Angeles, Microsoft announced the new Xbox 360. It’s essentially the same Xbox 360 they’ve been selling for the past 5 years, but has shrunk in size and comes in an oh-so-sexy glossy black shell. The new unit is quieter thanks to one large fan spinning at a lower rpm, instead of two small fans spinning at a higher rpm. The disc tray eject button is now a touch sensitive button similar to the Playstation 3. This standard edition comes with 250 gb storage. The biggest announcement, and much to the delight of many people, is the new Xbox 360 slim comes with built in WiFi. You can now take your Xbox and move it around the house and quickly set up on another TV without the hassles of an ethernet cable.
Microsoft began shipping these to retailers today, and you might just be able to grab one at your local department or electronics store like Target, Best Buy and Walmart. Just be prepared to fend off the little kids and teens camping out during their summer break! $299.99 msrp.
