Via Twitter, Major Nelson has confirmed that Project Natal is officially named “Kinect.” Meanwhile, an Italian website briefly featured an embedded advertisement that shows a redesigned Xbox 360, presumed to the Xbox Slim.

The ad, which can be seen above from Joystiq, states that the Xbox 360 Slim (looking like a Dell/Alienware tower PC) has a 250Gb hard drive and wireless built-in. Crucially, the Italian ad that appeared on Console Tribe (now pulled) revealed that the system was compatible with “Kinect,” thus outing Project Natal’s real name before Major Nelson’s Twitter announcement. I believe that the “Slim” is genuine.

The new Xbox is supposed to feature a redesigned motherboard, one that integrates the 360’s PowerPC G5 processor and the wicked ATi graphics card on one chip, thereby reducing costs, heat generated, and power consumption. I just bought an Xbox 360 Arcade this past week! Oh well, so long as the Falcon chipset in it (no Jasper) does not die in the next 18 months, I am fine with it.

You can still use Kinect with the “old” Xbox 360 but Xbox 360 Slim looks way cooler.


the slimmed down xbox looks way nicer than how bulky the current one looks
though i think the official release/pics is out now but maybe it was from this early leakage
