For the honest doubts this post raised, read the update here.
At a recent event held in Delhi, Microsoft revealed some very interesting pieces of information. For one thing, most sites have posted conspiracies and possible shots of what appeared as the console’s slim version; Engadget received a tip as far back as May concerning the planned 45nm Valhalla combined CPU / GPU motherboard design for the 360 and how it would most likely come in a new slim case.

XBOX SLIM
MS execs here confirmed that the Xbox 360 Slim exists and you can expect an official announcement on the console in December. When the redesign will be officially available (in 2009) to consumers is uncertain but this certainly looks to be a worthy purchase to start the New Year, especially with the upcoming October releases of Fallout 3, Fable 2 and Gears of War 2 in India.
FALLOUT 3, FABLE 2 and GEARS OF WAR 2 EARLY TO INDIA
Speaking of the upcoming AAA trio, Indian gamers will be able to test-drive some playable builds of these titles — and that too, a good one week before their official worldwide launches. Yes, we’ll be battling the Skorge, abandoning our pets and touring nuclear wastelands before our compatriots around the world, in what is essentially a repeat of the Indian gaming section playing Halo 3 before it released worldwide.
XBOX 360, 20 GB HDD, WIRELESS CONTROLLER AND 2 GAMES PACKAGE for RS 14,999 ($ 333)
Microsoft also officially announced its new Xbox 360 package deal for India. Get this: An Xbox 360 Core console, a 20 GB HDD, one wireless controller and free copies of Viva Pinata and Forza 2 for Rs. 14,999.
Personally, I think Microsoft can not only further reach out to the average Indian gamers but also introduce them to more nuanced experiences like the original Gears, Bioshock, Call of Duty 4 and Ninja Gaiden II via titles that are fun and have mainstream appeal.

looks nice . and 15k price would be a real catch . thanks for the info .
I’m pretty sure that it’s not the real Xbox 360 slim. Why, because it looks like Sonys PlayStation 2 slim and Microsoft would have law sues up there arses.
ummm its looks like a slim ps2 only painted white and green LOL

about the bundled offer (BOX 360, 20 GB HDD, WIRELESS CONTROLLER AND 2 GAMES PACKAGE for RS 14,999) …i was surprised with what hapened to me! in calcutta , only 2 ezone outlets had this offer.no other dealer(even other ezone outlets) was even aware of it..they called up the distributor but didnt get any news…then when i was just goin to buy it the ezone dealer told me that the free stuff isnt in stock which they will deliver later. i was apprehensive, but still went back the next day (27 oct) only to be told that they wont sell it….they cant say why .(!!!) …everythings so fishy!! therz no news of this free offer in xbox india site or anything! can anyone else provide some light to this matter?
hey guys how much is the 360 now 20 gb version as of now because i heard its for 27000 here and that is way too much so please temme the price
Does anyone know where I can find release dates for new Xbox360 games?
well said, finally a good report on this stuff
don’t see how they could do a slim xbox 360 as they have enough trouble trying to keep it cool at the moment, they probably tried it and got the red ring of death within the hour and decided to scrap it. Imagine the noise from the fans if they did release one!
