When the first images of the Xbox 360 surfaced a month or so back we all speculated that it would be a good amount smaller than the current Xbox, and now it seems that we were right. It’s perhaps not as small as we might have been expecting from the size of the disc tray in the original photos, but it’s certainly nice and svelte compared to the old monolith. I never found the Xbox excessively big – it’s not like we carried it around all the time – but any size reduction is nice and shows what some bespoke hardware can do over off-the-shelf stuff.
