Wasn't there a Xbox360slim announced sometime?

I can't imagine the Xbox 360 being any smaller without getting a completely new look.

Hmm, definately not going to get one of those RROD'ing things :-/

Fanboys don't care because competition means that they need to produce results or start losing people. so it would be good on both ends
