Interesting to see them going all matte. The matte is very nice for dust though and it's very easy to clean off my matte silver Halo Reach 360.

Are the gears 3 and star wars consoles going to be glossy or matte?

I'm guessing matte is cheaper than gloss to produce?

That is probably it.

*sigh* Microsoft following Sony again.

Kidding, kidding. I always liked matte better. I know on the PS3, glossy was a fingerprint/dust magnet. I assume the glossy 360 S was the same.

360 has gone matte, gloss, matte. And the 4GB black Xbox was alays matte wasnt it?

Its all about shaving a few points of the cost imo.

Why would they possibly be needing t make the 360 cheaper to manufacture?
