Looks about the same size as the original 360. I never saw a point to having a slim version. The 360 is not that very big to warrant a smaller version.

Look at the DVD Drive slot - it'll be at least 20% smaller + an internal HD. Looks like USB ports might only be on the back (not that I use them).

Cool design and the 250gb HD is a nice touch. Not really sure if this is enough to make me spring for a new 360 tho...

If my current 360 died I could see picking up a redesign. However, if the HDD is internal and I wouldn't be able to transfer my data from the current drive or snap it on.... well that would kind of kill it for me.

There will have to be a way to transfer stuff over... Maybe with a Flashdrive?

)Either way, I imagine they have thought that through in some fashion. Maybe there will be a port that will accept the drive transfer cable?

Ahh, and even more proof there sure as hell better be a way to move Saves over - - the Memory Card slot has been dumped! Kinda figured this when 360 incorporated Flash Drives.

(What appears to be) Vertical loading only=fail and no sale.
And the Internal HD is the icing on the cake of fail. I feel bad for anyone who has to send one of these in and the buffoons at MS just send them a replacement, not taking into account save files.

Vertical loading only? What makes you think that?

Re: Say Hello to the Slim Xbox 360
Looks too much like a Gawd damn Wii on drugs in Blackface. I'll never buy it. 
But seriously, it looks nice but I'm concerned about the slimmer design. I thought one of the issues with the 360's concave design was obstruction of airflow which added to the RROD? How is this new design addressing this? I see a big vent but how well will this work?
