The people want a cheaper xbox 360 not a slimmer one!

The reality is for the general consumer the xbox 360 slim doesn't bring a **** thing to the table. What MS needed to do was lower the price of the xbox 360 down another $100 or so. Most people that want something from MS at this stage either A. Need to replace their broken xbox 360 so they are looking for the cheapest prices to do at or B) People are looking to buy a console at the cheapest possible price they can get it at.

Also, if the xbox 360 slim doesn't come with free online, I really don't see how anybody really benefits from it all that much.

they did lower the price of the already existing models.

Cool. I didn't see anything in yahoo that said anything about price drops it was just about the slim 360.

except they are lowering the price of the arcade to 150 and the elite to 250. Happy?

gametrailers announced it in there live feed, I get the feeling they werent suposed to though :P

It's cheaper for me as I need Wi-fi.

Also considering the slim has wifi built in as well as a 250gb hard drive its a fair price.xxmatt125xx

exactly what i was thinking and i might get one now it has a built in WiFi and HDD but first i need to find a new part time job :(

Just bought an elite last month thinking slim wouldn't be available till the end of the year if it was announced, not particularly joyous about the announcement it will be out next week.

Maybe.

Its going to depend on how Gamestop does their pricing for the refurbrished xbox 360. If I can get a refurbrished 360 for about $100 than its a deal. As for buying it brand new, its still too much.

I would like to see Sony drop their price but I don't see it happening this time around. One year MS will drop the price of the 360 and then the next year sony will lower their price. Honestly I feel like the two companies are working together right now to get as much money out of the consumer as possible instead of fighting each other with the way they are going about the price drops.

I know money is that tight. I won't be buying any new games. It will be buying old games that are $30 or cheaper for awhile. Beggers can't be choosers.

oh, I understand then man same situation for me, I thought you were just ****in over the price or somethin, thats a legit reason for wanting things so cheap then :P

look on ebay, IM sure a lot of peopl will be sellin there old model 360's for cheap now that the new model's out, you wont get the warranty but theres other ways of fixing RROD

It also has a firewire port below the 3 usb ports.

im hearing that the HDD is detachable? looking at the pics its stored inside the new model. i feeling that i can run out and slap a 500 HDD just like i did to my ps3. hopefully its looking that wayJunsei

I would like

• cheaper
• wifi included
• better build quality , a lot less noisy
• play and charge kit

That would be cool if the new console comes with a coupon for $50 off kinect.

1. It looks better.

2. It has a chance to restore consumer confidence.

3. The Core and Elite models have been reduced by 50$ each.

The new 360 is confirmed to have swappable hard drives.
