Watch this: Xbox 360 E doesn't pass along the savings

Microsoft announced a new-look Xbox 360 model today, redesigned to match the look of the upcoming Xbox One. The new, more compact Xbox 360 is available today, with the same pricing as the old models: $199 for the 4GB console, $300 for the 250GB console, and $300 for the 4GB Kinect Bundle.

Microsoft also confirmed that Xbox Live Gold memberships would carry over to the Xbox One, as well as a new program starting July 1 where Xbox Live Gold members will get two free game downloads each month until the release of the Xbox One. The first two games announced for the program are Assassin's Creed 2 and Halo 3.
