OMFG HOLY MOTHER OF MARY IN HEAVEN I CANT BELIEVE IT WTF WHERE ARE MY SEDATIVES AAAAHHH
Do you know if a slimmer, trimmer Xbox ala psTwo is in development? I wanna carry my Xbox around but it's just too damn big. I wish they'd make a smaller one :(
 
I believe it was said that Microsoft made some celebrities a slimmer, more portable Xbox during the Halo 2 pre-launch. I think it was for them to allow easy play time during their travels and such.
 
Yes, here is part of the article.

It's called the "Halo 2" Council, a seven-member celebrity clique of fanatics of the video game "Halo." For their love of the game, council members Hoobastank, Incubus, Linkin Park; actors Wilmer Valderrama ("That '70s Show"), Benjamin McKenzie ("The O.C."), and Aisha Tyler ("Friends"); and New York Giants star Jeremy Shockey will soon be rewarded with the greatest gift one could give to a "Halo" obsessive: an early copy of "Halo 2," the sequel to the groundbreaking 2001 first-person shooter that the rest of us must wait until November 9 to take home.

Advance copies of "Halo 2," as well as just about every other Xbox game, are only the tip of the iceberg for council members. A more coveted prize is the "Halo 2" Pelican Case, a portable Xbox console enclosed in a suitcase personalized with a bronze placard. Inside, a 15-inch, flat-screen, high-definition TV is supported by a pair of hydraulic lifts that push the screen forward when the case is opened. Two controllers, an Xbox live headset and Ethernet connection are also included for online and head-to-head play.

"Think about it: There are only seven of these in the world," Hoobastank's Doug Robb said when the band was formally inducted into the "Halo 2" Council last month. "There are probably a lot of bands that would kill for this briefcase."

I wouldn't call shoving an Xbox into a briefcase and adding a screen, "slimmer". It could be a pretty big case (and probably is) but then again I haven't seen the thing.

Portable as in "all the bits you need in one place". it doesn't say how big it is. Probably huge.
