Xbox 360 slim in the works?

Kotaku has posted a shot of what might be the motherboard for an Xbox 360, slim-edition. I thought I'd just pass that info on, because I love my Xbox. However:

  • It's noisy as hell
  • It's ugly / huge
  • It has no wireless
  • The harddive is tiny (20GB) but they upgrade cost is just plain insulting

So in other words I'd buy one. There have been rumors before, but this makes a lot of sense considering the impending Natal release. Bundle the new version with Natal, a few minigames, low price = instant Wii-competitor. It would move units towards the holidays - perticularly if they make it small, white and with a tennis game on the box. Mums won't know the difference anyway.
