Is it confirmed that the current hard drives won't work with it? If that's the case, then that's incredibly stupid of Microsoft.

I got a 360 at launch. RRODed and got it fixed then sold it. If this new 360 solves the RROD issue I will be buying.

Just saw on game trailers post-conference coverage that the drive is removable but is still a special Microsoft drive. I'm sure the data transfer cable must work with it. They also confirmed that the new xbox will power kinect but it will require a second power supply on older boxes.

GAh! This announcement has out me in a state of uncertainty. I almost had the money for the Elite Spring Bundle, and was really pumped, and now this!!! Will it come bundled with a game? Can I use an Ethernet cable? Money is very important to me, because I barley have any! And I can't find any details!

Defintiely, just not going to run out and get one right away at $299. Don't have a 360 yet, but already have PS3 and WIi. I'm glad that it's shipping so fast because now it's almost certain by the time the holidays come around there will be a bundle and retailers will be throwing in gift cards as well. I almost on a whim got a 360 when I saw they were offering the Forza 3 + ODST bundle + $50 gift card to move them. But the 360 slim rumors made me pull back, I did the same thing with PS3. I waited for almost a year with the rumors about the PS3 slim coming and a price cut before it finally happened

Yeah it has Ethernet

Thanks, thats good to know, but the main point is does it come with games. I got all hyped over ODST and Forza but now I can't afford them. I hope the slim gets bundled as the spring bundle for the first week or two or something.

considering i still have a launch 360....once it finally RROD's then yes i will get this

250gb (mine only has 20gb)

built in wifi (i'm on ethernet, ain't buyin the addon, now i don't have to)

a bit smaller and quiet (can't install games on a 20gb hdd so it's always loud, now it won't be even WITHOUT installing)

HMDI port (launch 360's dont' have em)

and HOPEFULLY RROD will be a non factor with these

so that's FIVE reasons this 360 is better for me....but again, i'll wait until my current model RROD's

Most likely I won't be getting one, although I DO want it though. I'm going to wait and see what people think of it first.

I have been saving some cash for an xbox for a little while now, hopefully by doing this they'll drop the price of the elite and make me happier, but that new xbox looks amazing.

I'll buy it if my 360 breaks. I saw pics of the new Xbox on the back and noticed the plug slot was different. I'm guessing they got rid of the power brick.

mmm do not know yet, got my 60 gb last year , but I was going to buy the wireless N adapter and the 250 gb HDD this same afternoon! The combined cost of both is about 230 usd plus tax which is about 234 USD, and this thing is 300 plus tax, so its about 330 so for 96 more dollars I could get this thing. So im thinking on selling my unit (can get 200 usd for it from a friend) and combine the money I was gonna use for accesories to get 434 USD which leaves me about 134 to spend on 2 new games and a 5 usd subway footlong combo! Or I could just buy the accesories and be done with it.... What should I do?

in that case just get the new one. However if you want to save the cash stick with the extras as there really nothing amazing in the new slim.

If I didn't already own a 360, I'd buy this new one as soon as they became available. For now I'll just stick with my 60gb pro.

Umm With their new design, MS is not targeting all of you who already have an Xbox360. So.. Get over yourselves?

Well now seems like the time to finally buy a 360 for me. Sounds like the Kinnect bundle will be $399 for the 250 and $299 for the Arcade. I probably don't care for Kinnect so I just might buy one now.

Maybe, my only 360 is a core with a 20HDD with new parts in it and now bought a 120G HDD. It will be a nice upgrade. But however I am not sure cause my 360 did not get a RROD for 4 years I had that machine, now my Xbox is having various frezzing problems. So I dunno yet.

Its not that hard to install games on a 20 gig. Ive got 2 games installed right now. Back when I played Mass Effect 2, I even managed to get both discs installed.

I'd never owned a 360, and I bought one of those $299.99 Elite models bundled with Forza and Halo 3 ODST, just a little over 2 weeks ago. Damn...

No. I already have a 360. Why would I buy another one? It's really ugly too.

decepticondevil

There are a lot of people who will buy another one just because it's different, even if they have no use for it :P. That's what MS wants. Anyway, I might get one depending on if I can get a good deal on it during Black Friday. I wouldn't get it at the $300 it is right now because I would only play multi-platform single-player games on it.

It'll probably cost $400, so you won't save much. I don't see how Microsoft could make it any cheaper, unless Kinect will cost less than $100 alone.

Yes. I need another one for the family room for Netflix streaming and Zune Marketplace. That, and the wireless will help because I'm too lazy to go do the wiring under the house.
