I'd rather have an Xbox 360 slim...
*Edit* Ok, ok. I guess this actually IS real after looking at my 360 Dashboard today. I just need another $100 bucks. That built-in Wi-Fi is useless to me bacause I saved $100 bucks not buying the wireless adapter.

The new Xbox 360, which everyone is already calling the "Slim," will be shipping to retailers today for availability later this week. The new device is said to be "whisper quiet," packs a 250GB hard drive, five USB ports, a built-in Wi-Fi connection that supports the more recent (and faster) 802.11n protocol, and a more contemporary Cyclin-inspired design. As you can see, it's noticeably smaller than the older device, and is made from the same high-gloss black plastic as the Kinect. Speaking of Kinect, the device also features a dedicated port for the device that also supplies power. Kinect users on older 360s will need to run a separate power cord to the device. The new Xbox 360 will cost $299.

FAQ From MS:
Here are answers to some of the question’s we’re getting:
Is there any performance difference at all between the new Xbox 360 and the original Xbox 360?
No game performance differences. It plays the same games and acts the same way as any Xbox 360.
How about backwards compatibility with all my Xbox 360 games and Original Xbox games?
No changes at all! All your current Xbox 360 and Orginal Xbox games (on the backwards compatibility list) will still work as they do today. Remember though, you need a hard disk to play Original Xbox games.
Is the fan quiet?
Yes, in fact the entire console is whisper quiet.
The photos show fan slots on the right side of the console. Does it vent to the back still, or the side?
The side (or top of you have it resting horizontally.)
What ports have changed?
Removed: The front Memory Unit slots were removed, but the front 2 USB slots are still there for controllers, USB storage, music game hubs, etc.. (Remember, since the 2010 Spring dashboard update, you can use any USB port on the console with a USB thumb drive as an Xbox 360 storage device)
Removed: The small cutout that the external wireless adapters connect to on the back of the console. Since the console now has internal wireless N connectivity, you may not want to use the external wireless adapter. If you find that the external adapter works best for you, that device has feet that swing out to allow it to sit on top of the console.
Added: An optical audio out (a.k.a. TOSlink, S/PDIF). It’s on the back of the 360 S now instead of on the AV cables.
Added: A port for the Kinect sensor that is a hybrid data and power port. Kinect works with all Xbox 360 consoles, but on the new Xbox 360, you don’t need a separate power adapter for the Kinect sensor because this port will provide the power.
Added: 2 more USB ports on the back, bringing the total to three on the rear of the console in addition to the 2 on the front of the new Xbox360.
Does the new Xbox 360 use removable faceplates?
The new Xbox 360 does not have removable faceplates.
Where is the wireless controller bind button, I don’t see it in any of the pictures?
It’s in the front. It was combined with the IR receiver on the front, so that’s why you don’t notice it!
Does it stand vertically and horizontal and do I need an adapter or a stand?
The Xbox 360 console is designed to stand vertically or horizontally. Unlike other consoles, it does not require a stand to sit upright and with the new sleek design it looks and fits great in your living room entertainment center. However, no matter how you position the console, you should not move the console during game or media play, or at any other time when the disc is spinning.
What band does the internal wireless N use?
It’s 2.4GHz.
Do the external wireless adapters work with new Xbox 360 ?
Yes. And if you connect one to the new Xbox 360 will sense this and disable the internal wireless.
Is the power supply the same?
No. It’s a bit smaller and it’s now 135 watt. The connecter type is different too because it’s not meant for use in original Xbox 360 consoles.
Is the hard drive removable?
Yes, just like on the original 360 console, the hard drive is removable.
What is included with the console?
You can find information about the retail package here:
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x...0250GBconsole/
How can I move data from my current Xbox 360 to the new Xbox 360?
Its super easy—check out Xbox.com/transfer for more details. One important note is that your current Xbox 360 hard drive will not attach to the new Xbox 360. You will need to use either a transfer cable or USB memory to transfer your content.
It will be $299
The current elite will be $250 and the arcade $150
The new xbox has 5 USBs

Is Kinect built in or just easier to connect than the older 360?

Tell me about it. But the only thing that will be a hassle is file transfers from our old harddrives.
