It has the power brick built inside (yay!), and has a mysterious "Aux" port on the back which looks proprietary.]]>Jun 14th 2010 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/slim-xbox-360-gets-official-at-299-shipping-today-looks-angul/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/slim-xbox-360-gets-official-at-299-shipping-today-looks-angul/Jun 14th 2010 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/slim-xbox-360-gets-official-at-299-shipping-today-looks-angul/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/slim-xbox-360-gets-official-at-299-shipping-today-looks-angul/Jun 14th 2010 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/slim-xbox-360-gets-official-at-299-shipping-today-looks-angul/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/slim-xbox-360-gets-official-at-299-shipping-today-looks-angul/Jun 14th 2010 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/slim-xbox-360-gets-official-at-299-shipping-today-looks-angul/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/slim-xbox-360-gets-official-at-299-shipping-today-looks-angul/

i think he meant fat xbox going down to slim xbox got more features compared to fat ps3 going down to slim ps3 lost features.

i'm just guessing though.]]>Jun 14th 2010 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/slim-xbox-360-gets-official-at-299-shipping-today-looks-angul/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/slim-xbox-360-gets-official-at-299-shipping-today-looks-angul/
Hmm. Somebody's gotta do it, and seeing as I bought a PS3 last week, might as well be me.

PS3 - $299
120 gigs, Blu-ray disc, integrated wi-fi

360 - $299
250 gigs, integrated wi-fi, more USBs?

I like that it now matches the PS3 sitting on my shelf. The new looks, combined with ESPN3, means this thing has a good chance of finally ending up in my home theater.

Swappable hard drive!!? Wow, gg Microsoft!! 1TB going in hot!!]]>Jun 14th 2010 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/slim-xbox-360-gets-official-at-299-shipping-today-looks-angul/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/slim-xbox-360-gets-official-at-299-shipping-today-looks-angul/
For PS3
To add a 250GB 2.5" HDD, it will cost at the most $65 so that makes the PS3 $364.

For X360
To add a 3D Blu-Ray player, you'd have to pony up at least another $299 bringing X360 w/ blu-ray to $598!

The way I see it, if you don't need/care about Blu-Ray, go with a slim X360 because of the one Kinect port and 802.11n wireless for all your streaming needs. But if you just upgraded to that shiny new 3DTV, go w/ a PS3.

I already have a PS3, but this slim X360 is just calling my name. "Kevin! Come buy me!"
