By popular request, here is my rant/rave post about the new Xbox 360 S. Fortunately I timed it with the most detailed article about it to date, which takes the whole thing apart and reveals the inner workings. The hippie in me is happy standby power is only 0.6 watts (1/4 or more of past models) but the real kicker is its new, shiny, and Microsoft told me to buy it. So yes, I admit to having one on order for the outrageous $299 retail price. I'm not proud of it, especially since the only real upgrades to my existing console is more drive space and wireless; neither of which I need. Of course this is no surprise to anyone, but I thought I'd add the post to keep the universe in balance. As for Kinect, I'll try to fool myself I won't buy it on launch date but everyone knows the truth before I even try that reality shift.
