Today at its Xbox 360 media event in Los Angeles, Microsoft dropped a big piece of news: the launch of a slimmer version of the Xbox 360, which starts shipping today and will hit stories by the end of this week.
The new Xbox 360 comes in black, rather the current Xbox 360, which is white. It has 250 GB of disk space and comes equipped with built-in Wi-Fi, instead of using a direct Ethernet connection. And, best of all, it’s shorter and thinner than its bulkier counterpart.
The new console will cost $299 — for comparison’s sake, the PS3 Slim and the current 120 GB version of the Xbox 360 also cost $299 (that’s more or equal GB for your buck).
Microsoft is preparing for the Xbox 360’s biggest year yet as it puts all of its chips into Kinect, its controller-free gaming system. Formerly Project Natal, the new Kinect hardware addition will launch this November with 15 games and a ton of hype.
Making the Xbox 360 sleeker and more affordable has to be a priority for Microsoft in its quest to bring Kinect into living rooms everywhere. Releasing it now gives it a chance to permeate the market before it initiates the next phase of its plan for video game domination.

Fifa 10 / PES 2010
Ah, the great football game debate. I really couldn’t choose between them and which ever one you decide on your footy-loving 360 owner should be happy. Having said that there are some differences. Fifa is slower, more methodical and more realistic. It also has all the right teams and players, even if the likenesses are still scarily off at times. PES has better player likenesses and animations but more importantly plays a faster more fluid game on the pitch. Fifa has more online options, PES has more exciting goalmouth scrambles. I’d still go with PES if I really had to choose but this one is too close to call. Read the rest of this entry »

Look, don’t act like you didn’t know this was coming. Microsoft has started selling its Xbox 360 HD DVD drive for the ultra-bargain price of $49.99.
So now’s your chance to get one super-duper cheap. Or you could just throw that $50 into the garbage … same thing.
