<div align="justified">
Though only a minor detail, Microsoft has decided to slightly alter the look of the 360 once again. It was only last year when the company introduced the slim Xbox 360 which had a sleek new look, as compared to it’s predecessors. Nevertheless, Microsoft has reported that any new manufactured Xbox 360 console will be removed of the gloss finish, and replaced with a standard matte paint scheme.

Slims with gloss finish:

Slims with matte finish:

A representative for the corporation suggests that those who like the idea of a “shiny slim”, to go out and purchase them before they are gone. The new units will hit shelves in the upcoming weeks, and therefore consumers purchase time is restricted.

"We are actively transitioning all our Xbox 360 S consoles to a matte finish," "The consoles will start to arrive in stores over the coming weeks, so if you really love the idea of a glossy console don't wait much longer."

Though not confirmed, the present consoles are rumored to make their return in limited edition appearance. They are said to be packaged with major game releases such as Gears Of War, Star Wars, and Halo. </div>

Glossy is pretty terrible. To many fingerprints unless you're OCD. Glad they are stopping it.

Was there any real reason behind this? Too expensive? Too shiny?
