It was speculated that a complete redesign of the Xbox 360 hardware was being produced after pictures of a possible new motherboard design surfaced on March 17, 2010.
[30] Ads later surfaced on June 13, 2010 showing a slimmer Xbox 360 design, which was expected to include a 250 GB hard drive and integrated Wi-Fi functionality.
[31] The console's casing is revised in comparison to the previous models, with a glossy black finish and capacitive power and eject buttons.
[32] The internal hardware was redesigned using a new motherboard codenamed "Valhalla", which integrates the CPU, GPU, and eDRAM into a single package using a 45 nm fabrication process.
As the CPU and GPU are integrated into the same die, they may also share the same heatsink and fan, which reduces the console's noise output, and its power consumption by roughly half in comparison to the original Xenon motherboard.
[3] The first Xbox 360 S SKU revealed included a 250 GB hard drive[37] and its casing featured a glossy black finish.
[3][39][40][41][42] Although this model has onboard storage, Xbox Product Director Aaron Greenberg confirmed that it does have a drive bay which Microsoft has "the opportunity to use in the future".
[39] On August 20, 2010, Microsoft announced a 250 GB stand-alone hard drive for use with Xbox 360 S models priced at US$129.99.
It is a revision of the S model with a new Xbox One-inspired casing, carrying a more rectangular appearance and a two-tone color scheme.
[63] It also features a TOSLINK optical audio connector, which supports either 2 channel (stereo) LPCM or dolby digital 5.1.
On a few occasions, Microsoft has produced special editions of the console, usually to coincide with the release of a major product.
A white console with green accents was released in 2005 only to the Xbox 360 Launch Team as a gift from Microsoft.
The consoles came complete with a 20 GB HDD also in green to match the top and bottom sections that are typically grey in color.
As with the original Xbox, Microsoft has continued bundling two video game titles in console retail packaging during the holiday season.
The second, which retailed for US$299.99 contained a physical copy of Fable III and a digital download voucher for Halo: Reach.
The 250 GB Holiday Value Bundle included a physical copy of Halo 4 and a digital download voucher for Tomb Raider.
