What an ugly piece of hardware.Jamash said:This make sense if this rumoured photo of the 360 Slim is to be believed.Tom Goldman said:
Apart from it's smaller size, the most obvious features are 3 USB ports but no MU slot or apparent place for an external X-Box 360 HDD.
The extra USB port on the front and the recent announcement of USB storage support seems to address this problem somewhat, IF this photo is genuine.
Seriously that looks... words fail me, it is the worst looking console (well console remake) I have ever seen.
Screw that! that's a pussy xbox!
I'm staying with my<spoiler=big...black...manly>xbox 360 elite!
You were expecting something else weren't you?....perv.
I'm not even black
Besides, i doubt the reduced size is going to do wonders for heat dissipation, and considering I'm on my 3rd elite, I'd rather not take the chance :/

I really don't see the point of a "Slim" 360. Honestly, the massive PS3 is one thing, but the 360 is relatively light. Plus the ones I've seen in pictures are uuuuugly.
EDIT: I just looked at the Chinese website, and my meager training in Chinese has not paid off.
I did sort of understand some guy who was talking about CoD6 though.

Why do I get the impression that if Apple were to ever make a console, it would looks like that piece of uninspired crap.ma55ter_fett said:What an ugly piece of hardware.Jamash said:This make sense if this rumoured photo of the 360 Slim is to be believed.Tom Goldman said:

It's lost it's beautiful hourglass figure!Jamash said:This make sense if this rumoured photo of the 360 Slim is to be believed.Tom Goldman said:

I hope not.Aura Guardian said:
In my opinion, Wi-Fi is a bit of a fad, and in my house I've got my 360 and PC hooked up with a long Ethernet cable, since it's a lot faster and much more stable than wireless, plus it's more secure.
In my experience, my wireless signal kept fluctuating from 48Mbps to 0.5Mbps, which isn't ideal for gaming. Now that I've gone back to wired it's 100Mbps all the time.
I also hate the idea of my console having an internal wireless device which I would never use or be able to disable (easily).
I like the way it is at the moment, with an optional, external wireless adapter for those who wish to use it.
With half the calories even. You don't even need 3 lights, only 1.5!ark123 said:
If they want to do something frakking awesome to pull more people to the 360, they should hire that guy who made the 360 laptop [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/92901-Modder-Creates-New-Xbox-360-Laptop].
My room is very far from my modem. So I had to buy the Wi-Fi adapter which was $99.99 "well spent" since I barely use the system. Good thing the Wii has Wi-fiJamash said:
price cut? isnt it already $199? I hope this doesnt shake things up too much in terms of war between PS3 and Xbox. I love my ps3 more than my 360, i dont wanna see it go the Dreamcast way.
Thats ugglier than the PS3 slim. Jesus, who the fuck is in charge of aesthetics?Jamash said:This make sense if this rumoured photo of the 360 Slim is to be believed.Tom Goldman said:

all of this only matters if that pic is legit.
QFT. Too bad my friend and I (we share X360s) are on our 4th X360. Well, technically, he's on the 4th. I cut my losses, got out of that viscous cycle and defected to the PS3Daystar Clarion said:
Cool stuff, if true. Price cuts are always good.
I wouldn't be surprised if that was just a dev kit or a prototype. I know for a fact that sometimes dev kits can look nothing like the actual console. For example, the PSP dev kit is basically a very small desktop computer with a full size DVD drive. You have a big thick cable coming out of it connecting it to a handheld PSP unit.soapyshooter said:Thats ugglier than the PS3 slim.

Some 360 dev kits are purely run on emulation and are essentially big beige boxes like computers of old... So don't take that picture too seriously. If it is indeed what Microsoft intends to sell to consumers, then I'll definitely agree that it does look like a piece of shit.
He has a point. I have had one regular Xbox which burnt out around 9 months and I have had this elite and it is still silent and it is 1yr and 5 months.John Funk said:
Maybe this might get people to actually buy 360s again because I've seen a ton of them just sitting on the shelves in several stores. But why would Microsoft want to sell a slimmed down version of the 360? I don't really see the point in this, if it will actually happen.
I literally have no idea what the hell people are talking about when they are like "I'm on my 5th Xbox" etc. I have had an original Xbox 360 since it's came out (course I need a new one beacause I just got a HDTV and a 50 dollar HDMI cable that I can't use) and I only got the ring once. Took like a month to repair. Boo hoo. Besides that I have had no problems with it, it's always worked great. What am I, The Chosen One? I have no idea where all the Xbox hate comes from.
