MS unveils new Xbox 360

LOS ANGELES - MICROSOFT on Monday began shipping a slim, more powerful version of its Xbox 360 videogame console to US stores.

The announcement came as the US technology giant announced that its hotly-anticipated motion-sensing 'Kinect' controllers for Xbox 360 consoles will be available in the United States beginning November 4. 'Kinect' is the name for the new game technology developed by Microsoft under the code name Project Natal.

'You interact with things the same way you would in the real world, with your moves and your voice,' said Kinect creative director Kudo Tsunado. 'Anyone can jump in and play.'

No price details were disclosed.
