    I should probably start saving for one of these. My current old 360 barely fits in my room.

    Yes, but instead of a single plug with the new XBox it requires a separate power supply and a plug into a USB port.

    An HDMI port is available, but a cable is not included.

    Looks fab, sounds fab, but I have been stopped in my tracks for buying one !! Where's the blu ray drive ? I've had xbox's since their first release, but am being swayed towards PS3 ! Sorry Microsoft, you have failed with a next gen machine with no blu ray drive. Maybe next time.

    Will my current xbox 360 controller (from the arcade bundle) work with the new slim 360? will my currnet head set (not the wireless) also work with my 360?

    Yes and yes. They didn't change anything about those devices.

    This'll be a fine addition to my pile of dead 360s once my 4th (and what I'd promised would be my last) inevitably RRDs, stops reading discs, or just spontaneously combusts.

    I got one big question: Is there any CPU/GPU performance increase?

    No, of course not.

    Dear Gibson, I don't think that the arcade (white) controller will work on the (black) new xbox. If you try an arcade, pro or core on an elite, it won't work, or vice-versa. This is just my opinion.

    Yes it will work, but your display will have a zebra stripe effect. It's a known bug in the system that MS so far has been unable to fix.

    yes, thats where im going to but mine at the moment but i wont to see if there's a newer version??? or is it the same?

    The XBox side of the connector is the same.

    Check out the images in this article: http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/new-xbox-360-guide-microsofts-slim-console-explained/

    Also, this line: "...but your old component A/V connector will work just fine if you have one of those kicking around..."

    This implies the old connectors still work.

    Other than the physical alterations, i.e. size, noise, colour etc etc.

    What are the changes to spec? or is this basically the existing xbox, but it a new shell?

    It seems slightly strange which there wouldn't be a change, and it would also be a costly swap to change to something, which in all fairness, is the same as i already have... but in a different colour...???

    What's changed:
    Smaller CPU
    Smaller motherboard
    Onboard wireless
    Onboard Kinect connector
    Enclosure size/shape

    All other specs have remained the same.
