When Microsoft unveiled the latest model of its popular Xbox 360 gaming system at the E3 press show today, industry pundits appeared to unanimously agree that slim and sleek design was a vast improvement over its predecessors.
The new Xbox 360 ‘Slim’ console is not only lighter and more compact, but it is also said to operate with less noise. Microsoft says that the new unit is “whisper quiet.”
The Xbox has been notorious for generating more hardware noise than its biggest competitor, the Sony Playstation. Any reduction of the unwanted hardware noise created by spinning drives in the console are bound to delight many late night gamers.
Xbox’s new controller titled Kinect will also run on the new Xbox 360 allowing for wireless motion sensor control of games. Kinect is rumored to cost between $100 and $150, and will be released in November this year.
