Xbox Slim revealed, ships TODAY

Microsoft's just revealed the Xbox 360 Slim - and it ships in North America TODAY.

The new console sports a 250GB HDD, built-in Wi-Fi and is "ready for Kinect". It's also the same price as the vanilla Xbox 360.

It also looks like it sports some pretty beefy ventilation shafts on the sides. That'll mean any internal fans can run a little quieter. In fact it's not just quiet, the Microsoft website describes the slim as "silent"

The new model was said to retail at $299, which will translate to around £200 in the UK, around the same price as the current Elite model.

The Xbox 360 slim has been highly anticipated in the run up to the Microsoft conference. Leaks began to seep through the internet cracks in the run up to E3.

An Italian advert for the 360 slim pretty much outed the new model along with the 'Kinect' name yesterday.

Microsoft announced that everyone at its E3 conference will receive a 360 Slim for FREE. GITS.
