Soon after the 'Slim' version of the PS3 was announced it seems that speculation has begun regarding a possible 360 Slim.

DFC Intelligence analyst David Cole says that a slim-line version of the Xbox 360 is "a question of when not if", and says it's likely to happen next year.

It seems this console race will be going on longer than expected.

Since I already have the 360, I wouldn't waste my money on a smaller version that probably costs more. Also, if Extric is right, I would avoid it as much as possible.

I was also going to make a point of the glorious Red Ring of Death, but someone beat me to it.

I hope Microsoft will think twice about making a "slim" version. If they do, it better be fifty times more superior than the original model in quality, durability and look.

I don't think it's probable that the 360 will see a slim version. o_o They only JUST managed to engineer a 360 that doesn't RRoD so easily (Jasper), sales are fine--they've just nixed the Pro model in favour of an Elite price cut... they honestly don't need to.

The PS3 was overpriced and ridiculously bulky in comparison to the other consoles. It needed an overhaul. The 360's doing fine and I just don't see how one would help to push sales or otherwise. If anything it would just hike up the price.

I dont plan on buying one mainly because I already have a 360, and I still wouldnt buy it if I didnt have one. Besides since the regular size 360 stores most of its data on its hard drive, where would it go on the slim? 0.o

A slimmer 360 might be a problem. Usually smaller hardware has a better chance of failing and can be more faulty. And we all know the 360's hardware is a piece of junk. Though, a smaller 360 would be much better for my back when I'm walking a mile everyday to my bro's house...or maybe just a smaller power box. God that thing is huge and heavy.
