Rumour: Xbox 360 Slim, Metal Gear Solid Natal?

Hold on to your pants - insider tipster extraordinaire Surfer Girl has returned to the scene with a hot rumour about Microsoft's plans for an "Xbox 360 Slim," to be unveiled at E3 in June.

"MS will reveal a slim 360 natal bundle at one of their two (yes, two) press conferences at this year's e3," the anonymous gossip diva writes, adding that the console will see a rebranding to better match the upcoming Natal peripheral.

Apparently, Microsoft wants to match the Xbox's colour to that of its motion-sensing device, so will change the unit's default design to black as a result. "The new system design is pretty neat," Surfer Girl writes.

Surfer Girl also throws in a hint that the Metal Gear Solid series could appear on Natal. "Let's just say you'll probably be both very surprised and very pleased by one of the games revealed... what is it? Might Get Shot if I were to tell," Surfer Girl concludes (emphasis 'hers').

If true, we doubt it would be something Kojima himself would be paying too much attention to, what with Peace Walker and all. Unless we're talking about added functionality in Rising. Failing that, MGS: Touch? Voice your ideas in the comments box below.
