After last month’s hype regarding the latest hardware update to the Xbox 360 console has finally died down and with the console incoming to the UK this week, you may be fooled in thinking that’s all you would be hearing regarding the new console until Kinect is released. Well you were wrong as Amazon Germany has reportedly placed a new device listing for a new “Arcade” type of console with the new hardware build but even smalller than the E3 announced Xbox 360.
The leaked version of the New Xbox 360 reportedly comes with a meagre 4Gb of storage, as opposed to 250GB harddrive that is out on the released version new Xbox 360 and appears to be even smaller than the latest incarnation, but with the ability to upgrade the storage to a further 16GB via a flashdrive.

The Amazon.de site also lists the “Arcade” console as being €149 (£125 roughly) and is stated as being part of a bundle so you can expect a few little extras like some family games to appeal to Microsofts growing Family Orientation.
The shipping date is down for the 20 August, which coincides with the Gamescom 2010 event in Cologne, so we can expect a update then with a immediate release of the console following the announcement.
