From Engadget
At first we were doubtful that a edgy box appearing in a little Flash ad from Italy last night could be legit, but Microsoft just got real with the new Xbox 360 Elite. It'll launch today priced for $299, while the old Elite will stick around for $249 and the Arcade will drop to $149. The new box is crazy sexy, in our eyes, and it's got integrated 802.11n WiFi and 250GB of storage -- we're told the hard drive is removable, although it's not a standard drive or same drive as the old console, which makes us wonder how upgrading will go. There's also an intriguing new port on the back that looks like an HTC-style ExtUSB port -- we're guessing it's related to Kinect in some way -- and it also seems like the power supply has moved inside the case, which is a welcome change. New Xbox 360 units are shipping to retailers now, with availability expected later this week, and MS conference attendees are actually getting theirs shipped today.
If you're in Europe, don't fret, as yours is coming soon. Microsoft's official Xbox Twitter account has confirmed the console hits there on July 16.

A part of me doesn't care. My whole body. Microsoft should be making the new console.
This won't take off.
It better not anyway

actually, from what I have been told, the new slim xbox can fit easily into the case of the old one!

sorry, don't know much about it except a youtube video my son sent me showing the new fitting inside the old
he was trying to convince me about why he needed the new one, apart from the HDMI port and the Kinetic port and the 250gb drive etc (from what I do recall about that conversation!)
