Xbox 360 Slim advertising (leaked?)

- It's compatible with whatever "Kinect" is
As I said there, I heavily doubt Natal = Kinect.
The question for me is when will it be released.
My current 360 is dead and I'd love to have this new model in my hands soon.
Project Natal is now called Kinect: We're hearing that Microsoft's motion-sensing Project Natal add-on for the Xbox 360 will be officially renamed Kinect. While it's possible that the news won't hit until tomorrow, our money is on the name popping up tonight during Microsoft's big show. There are also trademarks for the term.
Microsoft to unveil a smaller black Xbox 360 this week: Not only have a number of our sources been telling us that a mini-Xbox 360 is coming, but now ads for the device appear to be popping up on some international sites. The ads say it is compatible with "Kinect" and that it sports a 250GB harddrive.
" Kotaku has just picked it up.But like others said. If its slim. Older hard drives wont work. All the stuff people have saved might be lost. Not to mention it really does not look "That" much smaller. Its also including Wifi which it should have had for a long time

But not all data is transferable via USB stick. Perhaps each Xbox 360 Slim would come with that "transfer cable" that you get when you buy a new 360 so that you can transfer all the data from your old 360 to your new Slim one." @The_Laughing_Man said:
Think that might be the real reason they put out that USB stick update? "" All the stuff people have saved might be lost. "
" @The_Laughing_Man said:I showed my friend this. And well...she right off said " MS can suck it and I hope their sales suck" There is no reason to make something like this. The PS3 Slim was a stretch.Think that might be the real reason they put out that USB stick update? "" All the stuff people have saved might be lost. "
And ya. I bet the USB thing was for this. Course. How much do you have on your 360? How big of a stick will you need to move it? That would cost a chunk to get a decent sized Flash drive.
" they need to have one of these on stage tomorow in the press conference, turn it on and it red rings... but then that's just the color of the LED now, its red. :p come on, they need to have a sense of humor about themselves right? >_> "That would be so epic.
" @The_Laughing_Man said:How is it Legit? *Not being sarcastic*" We are all forgetting one thing. This could be 100% fake. "No ons forgetting that. It's called speculation. Besides, this all seems legit enough. "
Counting only saves, everything fits on my 256MB memory unit. But counting actual games and install data I've filled up my 20 and upgraded to a generic 120." How much do you have on your 360? How big of a stick will you need to move it? "
I've got some demos and arcade games on my 8gb sandisk usb drive for the one in the other room and they play just fine off it. If I'm not mistaken the only thing you can't put on a USB stick is a full disc game. And since the only "full" games that you don't need a disc in the drive for are Games On Demand games (which new buyers won't have any of), that seems like a relatively small segment of the consumer base to screw in the long run.
I mean old 360 owners looking to buy a new one will be slightly inconvenienced by either having to re-download the big games or use the transfer kit.

dude said it SEEMS legit, stop being an ass Laughing :P
" @The_Laughing_Man said:Im just asking questions a friend is asking me. She doesnt wanna sign up on a forum. I think the design is pretty cool. But I like my broken 360.

- The ad is well made.
- It links back to Xbox's official website.
- harrypmgaga said that he had gotten the permission to put new Microsoft ads on his website only after the Microsoft conference.
- We've been hearing murmurs about this for a very long while.

I don't know why everyone gets all crazy about stuff if it's smaller. I would much rather it be quiet than some buzzy little thing.
" why is she mad, did she just get a 360 or something? "She thinks MS JUST now putting in Wifi is a dick more on their part.
Indeed it has. Gotta love these leaks! XD" Hmm, it seems the ad has been removed now. "

Actually, there are some really weird exceptions e.g. Dead or Alive 4/Dead or Alive Xtreme saves." If I'm not mistaken the only thing you can't put on a USB stick is a full disc game.
" @The_Laughing_Man said:Not to mention she hates how it looks." @Rhaknar said:ah well, better late than never i guess "" why is she mad, did she just get a 360 or something? "She thinks MS JUST now putting in Wifi is a dick more on their part. "
Side note
It does not look slim at all. Not USB/Memory ports...and about the hardrive..is it internal? Or hidden on the top.
" @The_Laughing_Man: The slim moniker has never been used by Microsoft. It is just something people use because of the PlayStation to describe a new model of the 360 (which is expected to be a bit smaller). "Fair enough. I wonder if this one will go though the RROD trials.
" @Rhaknar said:Well if you clicked the ad itself it took you to the Italian Xbox page." @The_Laughing_Man said:Im just asking questions a friend is asking me. She doesnt wanna sign up on a forum.
