In a big announcement at E3 today we saw the new Xbox 360 Slim looking all shiny and black coming with wireless N, 250 Gb HDD and a much smaller case. It is available now for all those gamers looking for new hardware but in a look behind the scenes Aaron Greenberg showed how the HDD worked. The HDD on the new system is completely different than the previous iterations and is not a normal laptop HDD that can be easily removed via a bay in the back of the system. Aaron also showed the interface for the Kinect on the back of the system.
What does this mean for gamers? You will not be able to switch out your HDD easily and upgrade to a 1 Tb drive or bigger without buying it directly from Microsoft. The big HDD is cool but it is a bit of a shame that they went the propietary route and did not leave it as a normal laptop HDD like the Playstation 3.
We will be trying to get more specs and hands on with it shortly so stay tuned for more info.

how will old 360 gamers tranfer copy protected games over if they buy the new one?

They'll do it with flash drives, because on the 360, unlike the PS3 or Wii, you can save and install games, saves, and profiles onto flash drives, and play them on any console you like, and you can also move them from on Xbox 360 HDD to another.
This has been common knowledge for a long long time.

actually u can save everything in a flash drive on a ps3 not a install game but a whole backup of ur HDD. back up utility , if u got enough space , either way there is a lan tranfer too.
u can save individual saves files there too.
please don't talk if u dont know.
