According to German Amazon.com, the XBox 360 Slim Arcade is slated for an August 20th release date, and will come with only 4GB of storage space (no news on wireless capabilities yet). Contrary to the recent inception of the XBox 360 Slim which only comes in a 250GB hard drive option. The new XBox Slim Arcade seems like it could possibly support some sort of flash memory or other small storage device as an option. Microsoft has already confirmed that a new Arcade system would be released sometime this fall and that they were looking at a $199 price tag, but not much else has been said.
Gamers Global Germany spotted the device and made the interesting observation that the release date also coincides with the upcoming Gamescom conference. Considering Microsoft announced the previous device during one of the largest electronics shows in North America, it would be no surprise if they held out till the Gamescom conference to announce another redesign of the XBox 360. I mean you have to bring something for show and tell right?
