Introducing the new Xbox 360

We hate to say it, but we told you so! Microsoft finished off their Monday E3 briefing with the unveiling of a new 360. The glossy new box not only looks great but sports a 250GB Hard Drive, and built-in Wi-Fi… isn’t it about bloody time?

New Xbox 360 Boot Screen?

New box, new kit, new look? With the launch of their new console and Kinect approaching fast, Microsoft look to be rebranding the Xbox 360. Kinect and its Hub (shown at E3) add more dimension to the Dashboard’s UI, and will likely bring new tweaks to the interface at launch. A revised boot screen would only be natural, right?

Could This Be the 360 Slim?

An Italian website looks to have ran an early ad for the long-rumoured Xbox 360 Slim on their website. Apparently the console of tomorrow will sport a 250GB hard drive and built in Wi-Fi functionality – not bad if I do say so myself.

Here’s a translation, courtesy of Google:

We present the new Xbox 360
250GB Hard Disk
Built in Wi-Fi Functionality
Compatible with Kinect (Natal)
Ready for the Future Technology of Tomorrow

The ad also states the new 360 is compatible with Kinect, Natal’s rumoured official name. All will be revealed in the briefing tomorrow – stay tuned!

UPDATE: The ad agency associated with Console Tribe has pulled the advert. For those that didn’t manage to catch it the first time, hit the jump to see the ad in action! Read More »
