If this has already been covered please lock.

I was just wondering with all the talk of a PS3 slim why not a 360 slim.

Is it never going to happen or are MS working on one.

It would make sense for them imo.

Also it would open up a whole new market for them as folks these days like there equipment mean and lean.

Anyone know anything is coming down the line.

I'm not sure... but doesn't the whole concept or name of slim / slimline belong to Sony?

It might be hard for Microsoft to make something similar without impeding on a Sony patent without some sort of rebranding. Maybe "360 Mini" or something...

Hell yes, I totally expect one, if PS3 hardware goes up and over 360 with a slim at a cheaper price, Microsoft is totally going to counter attack, that I can nearly gaurantee.

The slim would most likely need a new hard drive design.

No. Where would you put the HD? And what about the face plates?

of course...MS has followed SONY's every move...of course it will happen...The Final Protecter is coming too

That is what I was thinking but a lot of folks reckon MS been a software company mainly are afraid to get there fingers burned.

Especially after the rrod fiasco.

Where on the other hand Sony are a hardware company so they would be developing in house.

Well it wont be called a Slim.. it will be called Xbox 360 XS - cus the X is what sells.

I would imagine the HD could be made slimmer?

^^Yeah, it could be. But then you have two versions of hard drives that MS has to manufacture.
