NOTE: This is the 1st Review since my hiatus, from bloggin’

Well unbelievable Microsoft debuted the Xbox 360 Slim, an updated and redesigned version of its console, which begins shipping to stores in North America today with a $299 price tag.

The company’s Interactive Entertainment SVP Don Mattrick unveiled the new hardware to the public today at Microsoft’s E3 press event, promising that the black system has been “completely redesigned for the future of entertainment”.

The Xbox 360 Slim features a 250 GB hard drive, built-in wifi (802.11N), and, like all other Xbox 360 models, support for Microsoft’s upcoming motion-sensing, controller-free device Kinect.

To emphasize the updated console’s features and Kinect support, Microsoft revealed a short trailer with the slogan “here today, ready for tomorrow”. Mattrick went on to describe the Xbox 360 Slim as “sleeker, smaller, [and] whisper-quiet.”

Despite the system’s new features, Microsoft has decided to keep the Xbox 360 Slim’s price at $299, which is also the price of the Xbox 360 Elite.

Mattrick said the Xbox 360 Slim begins shipping in North America today, and should arrive at stores this week.

Update:We got some Images as well bonus information.

At the company’s E3 press conference Microsoft had a lot of news, but the biggest was the unveiling a new Xbox. The new Slim model will be the same price as previously–$299–and will pack in a 250GB hard drive and wireless n. The console will be shipping to retailers today and will be available to customers later this week. The console will ship in a snazzy gloss black.

For a size comparison the Xbox 360 Slim was hidden inside a hollowed-out Xbox 360 during its unveiling. It was considerable smaller and the design is much more angular.

Regarding the new console, Microsoft had this to say:

The New Xbox 360

Microsoft also surprised the world with a new Xbox 360 console designed for the future. Back in black, the new Xbox 360 is sleek, silent and sexy. Connect in seconds to the always- expanding world of Xbox LIVE through built-in Wi-Fi N and store twice as many games and entertainment on a 250GB hard drive.

The newly designed console is whisper-quiet, so the silent tension of a game or movie is never broken. The new Xbox 360 system also comes with everything you need to get started, including an Xbox 360 wireless controller, Xbox 360 headset, HDMI input, USB flash drive storage capabilities and more, and a one-year limited warranty on the console, available this week and priced at $299.99 ERP.

By the way, Kinect is still unpriced but we know it will ship on November 4th.

Update – 4:14pm – Kotaku has posted the specifications page. Highlights include “whisper quiet” operation during DVD playback, WiFi 802.11n, 250GB internal hard drive (swappable by removing the bottom panel), Kinect-ready through a custom Kinect port on the back, 5 uSB slots (three on the back and two in front), AV, HDMI, and optical audio connections, a smaller power supply (not interchangeable with the original 360 one), and black accessories that match the new console.

Internal changes include: one large fan instead of two smaller ones, a 45nm chipset with integrated CPU and GPU, and integrated WiFi. These first two changes should lead to a system that runs significantly coolers and quieter.

REVIEW

Hollywood’s Tech -

This band kicks a**!   The songs were created by talented composers Justin Call, Daren Call, and Sean Arata who also share the vocals on each song.  You will never forget this band’s name or their music.
I have been listening non-stop to this album and you will enjoy these songs too.

They are young,  powerful and entertaining.  Downstait is a band that holds nothing back in the studio or on the stage.   Their songwriting reflects their unique blend of modern rock and shows that this band has talent and ability beyond their years.

They have the thunder of Godsmack, Sevendust and Adelitas Way and the melodies of Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin and Crossfade.   One song even sounds like the Hollywood Undead.
My review of this album is two thumbs up!!    Hell, 10 out of 10 stars!

I hope this band will be creating a lot more of their unique types of pitch and tempo with their rhythmic and lyrical songs.   All the songs on this album are my favorites.   That shows how this album rocks on!

World Wrestling Entertainment contacted this band to record a theme for The Miz which is called “I Came to Play”(studio and album version)*.
This band is off to a great start by being recognized by the WWE.  Hopefully they are going to the top of the Billboard charts very soon.

Similar artists are Adelitas Way, Stealing Eden, 24 Black, Lock 13, The Leo Project, Stare Down the Sun and Watt White.

*Due to WWE copyrights this song was not released on the album nor was the MTV Bully Beatdown Theme called “Beat Down”.    But this does not stop you from buying the single from iTunes and getting WWE: The Music Volume 10 which includes the song “I Came to Play”.

Windows has a feature called Autorun. It automatically launches certain media inserted into your computer. That includes CDs, DVDs and programs on USB drives. Malware can exploit this.

Here what PANDA Does!

Panda USB Vaccine helps remove this vulnerability. Run it on your USB drives to disable Autorun on them. This kind of malware won’t be able to infect them. You won’t worry about bringing it home after use on other computers.

Now, you can’t run this on all of your friends’ USB drives. So, this program can also turn off Autorun on your computer. That way, no USB drive can automatically deliver malware. You can do this manually by digging through a few Windows settings. But this program makes it a one-button affair.
