Microsoft has announced that the Xbox 360 will be slimming down in both size and price. The redesigned model is much more quiet and comes with a 250 GB hard drive and built in wireless capabilities. Also, the memory unit ports have been removed and replaced with five USB ports (two on the front, three on the back). The console is backwards compatible with most existing 360 accessories, with the exception of the external hard drives and power supplies.
In addition to the sleek glossy black casing, the Xbox 360 is Kinect ready, which is Microsoft’s new add-on feature that provides a controller-free gaming experience. Kinect, is the official name for Project Natal, which was publicized at last year’s E3.
Gamers can expect the new model to be available in stores later on this week.

Square Enix has released a new line of their Play Arts figures from Final Fantasy IX. Even though the Japanese gaming company is expanding their collection of Final Fantasy VII or Kingdom Hearts figures, it’s quite nice to see the under-appreciated Final Fantasy IX given some love.
