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:

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>

I don't know how you got to be staff with that kind of attitude

Not planning too, I enjoy the site as premium.
While you suffer with your period, I just think its not fair when another member takes the time to post a thread and then a "staff" reposts it. I like every staff here just the rule is not fair in my opinion. I understand if you feel different just stating that I already posted it. Got Foxkaz to close mine


Good luck River J

I really dont think its that much of a big deal.

I hate the new PS3 Slim, I loved my big glossy brick.

I love the new 360 slim, I am guessing it is to cut production costs they are doing this. As if they aren't making so much money already.

Consoles are ugly without gloss *looks at my ps3 slim*
