Gamespot now has a video showing the system itself, it indeed does have an ethernet port, that eases my mind a bit

judog1

it damn well BETTER have an ethernet port expecially for the people with play and charge kits and corded controllers...

EDIT: WOW, that was soooo not smart of me! i dont know how i momentarily confused it for a usb port! :lol: @ myself!

I have never had an Xbox 360 therefore I have a perfectly good reason to throw my money at it. I've been trying to get one for months, glad I hadn't been able yet. SO far I have 120 out of 300, but I'm afraid I won't be able to use the method I was using much longer. But darn it I WANT ONE!

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

slvrraven9

it is WAAAAAAY better than the current one. i like the shiny finish, the fan and vent placement and of course now i can get rid of that stupid 3rd part gaming adapter thats so akwardly placed in my caming cabinet. great to have all the systems built in wifi.....whats NOT to like about it, over the current 360?

That it's $300 for the same system I am playing now.

To Soul Reaper...The PS3 price drop wasn't the only thing that helped boost sales a year ago, it was the redesign. People like smaller more effecient devices and by redesigning the 360 Microsoft hopes help re-sell a system that has been plagued by the RROD and the new features like 250g hard drive and WiFi built in, it will only help justify the price along side the competitors. For those people out there who don't already own a 360 this will be the system to get and it also looks really nice when paired with the Kinect. Lets just hope the new redesign is solid and dependable.

Except that most of us don't need a new HDD, don't need a new warrenty because ours systems are fine, and I'm sure a lot of us either prefer matte or don't care about finish.

Its tempting because of the 250 GB cause I am stuck with 20GB right not and Xbox hard drives are crazy expensive compared to standard CPU hard drives, but im goin with no cause I already have one that works at this point in time

I don't know... not for a while I guess. I JUST bought a new arcade because my old pro got the RROD a couple months ago.... so i'm pretty pissed, naturally. God I want that frickin' slim. Jesus... I just can't get over it.

Other than the face that I don't like calling it "slim". Yeah, I'm definitely getting one, probably in a bundle with Kinect later this year.

I'm really tempted to sell my current 360 and buy the slim like this week (mostly for the built in wifi), but I'm going to have to see some unboxings, feedback, and reviews before I decide, so it is a maybe for me.

gah i just want to go to gamestop tomorrow and grab it up, but i dont have enough. Such a deep want, but, augh! Must have slim! This would be perfect for my first 360. And word on if I could also buy a regular 360 controller and use it with this, or is it touch only?

So the old ones wont work with kinect ? the slim looks great but I dont see anyreason to get a new one if you have an older one, though selling an unbanned 360 might fetch a good price these days ha ha

No, the old ones will work, you just need another plug in outlet, or something.

1. its an Xbox 360, "everyone" wants that extra reassurance that everything will be ok should it RROD. (even though hopefully weve seen the end of it) so i think that extra 3 years would be welcome to most of us who have had RROD before. 2. some of us (such as myself) hasnt adopted into a bigger HDD so im still running off my standard 20 gig from launch so after 5 years you can safely assume i DESPERATLY need a bigger hdd 3. the shiny finish.......it just looks better! (in my opinion) Of course most of these points are my personal views on the situation and by no means speaks for anyone else. im merely assuming.

It depends. I wouldn't trade in my current 360 unless either I would get alot of money for it and the Wireless Adapter (since the new system has built-in Wi-Fi), or if Gamestop has some kind of special offer.

I've been waiting for the redesign with included wifisince the original launched. I plan on getting this very soon. Paying $100 for a wifi dongle was the biggest rip off in gaming. Now, I have no excuse.

I have a fat ps3 and never bothered to buy a slim since my fat still works fine. No point buying a newly designed console when ur current one plays the same games and is in perfect working order.

My old Elite RROD'ed and I bought a replacement Arcade about 5 or 6 months back, so it looks like I won't be getting the new model. Maybe if they have a nice bundle or drop the price a little while down the road I'll look into getting it, but I just can't justify selling my current Xbox for the new one right now, especially since I'll be getting a Wii very soon.

I really like the new 250GB model, though. Hopefully it solves the noise issue. It's a little annoying that it's not compatible with the old 360 hard drives, though.

If I was making more money and didnt have bills, then yes. I would love to have the new 360, but I think the one I have now will do just fine. I just cant believe the people at the press conference got a free one. Just goes to show you how much money Microsoft has to blow

This is a great opportunity to get my friend into.. who has always been a PS3 fanboy. I mentioned Kinect to him earlier today.. but now since I've watched the MS conference, I have more to tell him. He'll get an Xbox 360 for sure. I'll probably give him my original 360 and I'll go buy the Slim version as soon as this week.

I don't know. I think it's a pretty nice looking console, I love the piano finish and the new touch buttons, plus wifi is greatand the draw sounds alot smoother when it opens. But there's also something about itI don't like.

Plus I just sold my pro andbought a 250gb elite about 3 months ago. Do you think it would be stupid to sell mine and get this one?

I would the new (and ugly) Xbox only when my Elite goes to the heaven and this is unlikely becuase the new versions doesn't have a big chance to get the RRoD. I'm more excited about the new Dashboard design what have i seen in the conference. Is it only for Kinect or will it will be come for the normal? Sry for my english ;)

So not worth it. My 360 with 250GBHD works fine and does the same thing except the Kinect port. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!!! If they wanted a postive outcome they should have surpassed the PS3 and required the release of new games that could handle the graphics engine.:(

Can someone explain how the usb drive transfer works? Can you use a normal usb drive and just transfer bits and pieces until it's all on the other hardrive?

Download your games to your hard drive and it will be very quite for you, I promise. :D

See... yet another reason not to buy the new Xbox 360.

People want it cuz it's shiny? Were you a ferret in your last life time?
