Los Angeles, June 15, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Microsoft has finally unveiled Xbox 360 Slim and it’s official release date on Monday at E3 Expo.
As declared by the Microsoft officials, X box 360 slim shall be available for purchase from today, June 15. Initially it was said that the product would be available only towards the end of the year but Microsoft surprised one and all at the E3 Expo with the announcement of the release date.
It is speculated that Microsoft wants to sell out a large number of X Box 360 slim models before Microsoft Kinect can hit the market at the end of the year.
Besides the X box 360 slim Microsoft also demoed “Kinect” which happens to be a motion sensor gaming control system that was earlier codenamed as “Project Natal”. Apart from the sleek finish which offers the model a better look, Microsoft Slim Xbox 360 is decked up with an integrated 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi along with a 250 GB hard drive which is a fine upgrade from the previous model.
Bonus features include 5 USB ports along with a customized port meant for connecting Kinect.
The Microsoft officials said that they are confident that Microsoft Xbox 360 Slim Console shall be a big hit among the gamers. However there are some serious shortcomings in the new product which might give its only worthy competitor in the market, Sony, an upper hand in the race.
Microsoft X box 360 Slim still has no support for Blu-ray unlike Sony PlayStation 3. Still one shall be able to enjoy streaming movies through Netflix and other such online services.
