Microsoft announced a new version of the Xbox360 today at E3. It’s black, shiny and apparently much smaller than the standard Xbox. While I like the shape of the new design, the shiny black leaves me a bit hesitant. First, it’s shiny, which means finger prints. I bought a monitor a few months back that was shiny black and didn’t think too much of it at the time. Now everytime I sit down to use it, the fingerprints and smudges drive me crazy. I’m very reluctant to buy any other shiny device.
Now, if I didn’t have an Xbox360 at all, I would definitely be tempted to pick one up though. Much larger (250GB) hard drive, wireless N networking, plus all the other goodies we already have. I’ll have to think about upgrading…
