Looks excellent. My Xbox is pretty old; I think I got it early 2008, so hopefully it will die any moment now and I can justify getting this new model!
E3 2010: Xbox 360 Slim Announced, Shipping Today
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
I think the whole thing is great, especially that they're keeping it the same price. Everytime the hard drive space went up before the price went with it. Now we've got a hard drive bigger than my computer's, the fastest wi-fi, a supposed non-break and quiet system, and something shiny. You can't lose with this remodel.
Unless I know what the RROD rate is for this one, MS can suck off a rat's ass. It costs the same! What kind of upgrade is this? I do not use wi-fi whatsoever. And kick me if I am wrong, but they make such a big deal out of this while PS3 had that built in FROM DAY 1!
Well, even if their conference sucked as much as Batman & Robin, they pretty hanged on by their fingers over a cliff thanks to that slim stunt.
On another note, the new Hot Pursuit looks awesome.

OT: OW Early adopter pains just hit. They needed something to up the Xbox's value proposition now that the PS3 has taken a nice price drop, albiet at the loss of a couple features. I don't use wireless for mine so I'll probably skip this one. That's a nice sized hard drive... for a console, and I'd hope theyre using a thinner manufacture on the the cpu maybe 45nm? Or at least 60 I think the first runs were 90.. So nice product but I already have it in a somewhat louder form. Here's hoping the next gen xbox will launch as a quality product from what they've learned. I'd rather not have another generation of "Microsofts hardware is shoddy, Sony's hardware is unapproachable, The Wii is full of shovelware". I know all these systems have had thier shine but we need to get back to the day I laugh at the gamestop guy trying to sell me a waranty. My Genesis, still works, my ps2, still works, My Xbox vanilla... still works, but Gamestop had to give me 5 xbox for 430 dollars(purchase price + warranty).
and now you could have a slim xbox and slim ps3 for what a ps3 cost at launch.
Yeah the console is cool and all, but it's quite the dick move to not announce this months ago. All it's done is alienate ANYONE who bought a previous version of a 360 or forked out for those overpriced network adapters.
Also the fact they're taking away the external HD capability is just causing it to shoot itself in the foot in my eyes.

I don't like it either. Sure, it's nice & shiny, but I don't like that shape at all.Eagle Est1986 said:
You got it. How do you expect them to unload all the old models at full price if everyone knows something better's coming?Sporky111 said:
For those asking about data transfer from one HDD to the new one: I've read it'll take the same cable MS was giving out for free upon request to those upgrading to an Elite... but it'll cost ya $20 this time.
I don't like the new 360. It can't use the old HDD. It can't use memory cards. It can't use old power bricks. (I don't care about wireless internet.) I wouldn't mind having a 2nd 360, but with its reputation for breaking, I'd want one with interchangeable parts just in case.
Well I can certainly say: it took them long enough. And yet, am I the first to think Alienware while looking at that?
But considering Microsoft's trend of making crap and then correcting it(Windows 95, then Windows 98; Vista, then Windows 7), there may be a glint of hope here. And black will always be sexy. Remember, Sony wasn't the first to use that color for their console.
Well one can hope they took notes from this guy [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/92901-Modder-Creates-New-Xbox-360-Laptop].Furburt said:

Hm. If it'll be confirmed that this one doesn't go RROD at all and don't scratch disks I might actually get one.
SHIIIIT. Almost makes me wish i was in the industry so i could get a freebie.John Funk said:
Ah well, I'd buy it if it wasn't cheaper just to get my current one repaired.
Man. They released this at the perfect timing for me considering my 360 just crapped out like a month ago. I need 300 dollars badly. That thing is so sexy.
"built-in WiFi"
"250GB hard-drive"
"Talk about your last minute announcements!"
So, Microsoft threw in everything I've ever wanted in an X-Box and waited just 6 months after I bought mine to release it! Oh rage, I feel so warm when you fill me up...

Haha, it will play out worse than they hoped.
All the inside stuff will be jammed together to make RROD's more probable.
