Game has started taking pre-orders for the new 250GB Xbox 360, which was revealed by Microsoft during its press conference last night.

The new 360 comes with built-in Wi-Fi, five USB posts, a custom Kinect port and touch sensitive buttons.

The cost of the machine is £199 although it does not come with any games or an HDMI cable – which has become standard practice with MS. It’s so customers have a choice in brand, price, etcetera.

The slimmer console started shipping in the US yesterday, while Europe and the UK should expect it around July 16.

“It’s so customers have a choice in brand, price, etcetera.”
