Todays E3 conference was full of suprises, Kinect, Gears of War 3 and Reach all blew us away.

However, Microsoft pulled a white rabbit out of the hat.

A new XBox 360 was announced today, and in a suprise move, was also scheduled for release later this week!

Keeping this thing quiet was an acheivement in itself and with Wireless built in, and silent components, this thing is going to be amazing.

Special congratulations to those who attended, as they all got this new beast FREE OF CHARGE. Well done you lucky guys.

UPDATE: New shots of the hardware here.
