This week at the E3 Expo Microsoft lifted the veil on their shiny new XBox 360. We thought it would be called the Xbox 360 slim, but it ended up simply being called The New Xbox 360.

The New Xbox 360 features a smaller case then the previous models, it was actually being hidden inside an original Xbox 360 case before it was revealed. The new model has a sleek black case, with angular lines more reminiscent of the original Xbox than the 360.

So what does this bad boy have under the hood? The cooling system has been improved, providing “whisper-quiet” operation. In addition, the hard drive has been amped up to 250GB, and there’s built in 802.11n Wi-Fi!

The best part ism the new console will sell for $299 (USD). Microsoft has already started shipping the New Xbox 360 to retailers starting in North America, so you should be able to pick one up to enjoy this weekend if you want! How cool is that!

Here is a little stat sheet that Engadget got there hands on with some more of the nitty gritty details.
