Not a fan. I wonder will the power pack be external like the 360, due to reduced size?

It's a lot cheaper to make as well, that's the only reason there's been a price cut.

I quite like the look of the original but from that picture it looks considerably smaller to me.

Now it looks even more like a George foreman grill.

£181 is pretty good, sold mine just in time

May get one as I need a bluray player.

Might wait a bit though and see if they suffer with any overheating issues

I'll be surprised if it's not £299, possibly £250 though.

It's definitely $299 and €299

You didn't expect them to do it for the same price as america did you?

£250 is a bargain considering until now it's been exactly the numbers no matter what the currency.

It's a lot thinner than the original, the PSU is built in like the original as well.

Exellent news, the original was far to big to start with.
