Just a day after an Italian gaming site leaked what appeared to be an advertisement for new Xbox hardware, the Xbox 360 Slim has been revealed at Microsoft's E3 2010 Press Conference. Though the announcement might have been expected, the release date certainly was not. The new Xbox 360 Slim is shipping to retailers today, and will be available for purchase later this week. Europeans, however, will have to wait a bit longer -- July 16th, to be exact.
Despite a smaller stature and a new sleek and shiny black exterior, the Xbox 360 Slim will feature a 250 GB hard drive, a "whisper-quiet" fan, and 802.11n WiFi connectivity, the fastest currently available on the market. The device will retail for $300, and will have improved connectivity for Microsoft's new Kinect (formerly named Project Natal). Further details are limited at this point, so we'll have an update as soon as we learn more. Stay tuned!

The WiFI connectivity might actually make me buy a 2nd Xbox, plus the 250 GB hard drive.
Everyone in the audience is getting them for free... does that mean Bruno will get one?
