After second thougth, I kind of want one. I'm just naturally drawn towards new, updated versions of things. I'll wait until the holidays though for an inevitable bundle if I do decide to get one or not.
No. I've always considered console revisions as things aimed at people who don't currently have the system. I've got a 360 and it works fine. I won't be buying the new model unless my old one ceases to function or I can get it for a trade in and maybe $100 or less (with 250gb HDD, built in wi-fi).
I'd like one. But my elite works perfectly. Although it did crash today while I was playing a game - which was installed on the hardrive. :P Otherwise - it's simply an unecessary expense for what I already have.
I really like how the new xbox looks but I have an arcade jasper with a 120 hdd so I'm in no rush to go out and buy one. Also, I have no interest in Kinect.
Reposted from news story: This makes sense for people who haven't yet purchased a 360 over the past 5 years, but it sucks for the majority of us who have. Unless you're still running a 20gb Premium from '05-'06 and want to upgrade, what's the point for the rest of us? I purchased a jasper Elite early last year for $399 (red RE5 version) and wouldn't waste my money on what's mostly a cosmetic upgrade (an optical audio port, 2 more USB ports, smaller CPU/GPU chip and wi-fi don't equal $299 IMO). I wonder if gamers will get as sick of MS as PC users have?
i say h#ll no, the 360 i have now i just got done fixing the e74 erroer and making my own vents in the case( the right way no towel BS) n this is the 3rd 360 ive goten after this one dies again im done with xbox for good sry MS but to little WAYYY to late in my eyes....
[QUOTE="slvrraven9"] new wattenty = 120 bucks alone....plus bigger hdd 120 bucks....plus new shiny finish (spray paint = 5 bucks!)slvrraven9
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.
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.
I'm running on a 20GB system too. Out of warranty and nearly out of space. I could use a new HDD, but that what I have USB sticks for. I do have to admit though. The more I see it, the more I'm liking the design. If mine breaks then I'll probably pick one of these up. If not, who knows.
[QUOTE="nate_c-12"]Nope. I would switch if the current hard drives could some how fit in the new design but since not I'll keep my 250gb 360. bessy67
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.
so the new one comes with a 250gig hard drive which is the largest capacity you can get for the existing one so why would you want to change same capacity hard drives over thats very stupid!!, you can already recover gamercards from live and im sure if you want to buy a new one but already have an 360 im sure there will be a data transfer kit.
And for everybody else on here if you do have a 360 then dont buy one its that simpleim sure this is going to be marketed for new customers and those who just want a new model andnot marketed for existing users.
No point in picking up a second 360 console. I would only consider if my current console RROD again or I'd more than likely stick with my "other console".
I think alot of people here don't realize they can sell their current console back to any game retailer and pick up some store credit so it will give them a bit of a discount when buying the new console. I'm going to sell my elite back to GameStop or some company without the 120gb HDD(in order to transfer my stuff) and then sell the HDD after I get the new console.
My xbox is about 4-5 years old and its starting to burn out (disc tray messing up and such). So as soon as my current xbox is done for i plan on buying the new one, which should give them time to work out any kinks in the newly shipped ones.
most likely will..mine is kinda obselete now (20 gb, the grphicl look kinda worse than on my friends elite, no wi-fi + my ethernet cable is messed up)....i also need a new controller
i get mine from amazon this tuesday........:D giving old xbox to nephews. yeah i have money to burn and nothing else to do with it. im so weak when it comes to shiny, new electronics
yes, but before I what to see if he have some problems for two month, if he have a problem I will what for a new version, if he don't have I will buy the xbox 360 Slime and the Kinect.

No, I think people know that, but why would you? You'll only get a little over $100, so you'll still have to give them a 360, HDD, 1 controller AND $200 (give or take) to pick up a new one if that's the route you choose to take. No thanks.
I am kind of undecided on it.. I have my old 360.. I had a 2005 launch model, that broke in 2006, but my extended 3 year warranty from microsoft got that one fixed. Then that one broke again and I got it replaced in 2007, and then that one broke and I got it replaced in 2008. And I am using the 2008 model right now.
I'll probably get one within the year since I still have the original Pro model with a mere 20GB HDD. I keep getting RROD and I believe the free replacements Microsoft has been doing expires soon, so I might as well upgrade to a *hopefully* RROD-resistant model.
I can't see myself getting one, theres just too much stuff out there right now to want to go and spend another handful of cash on a variation of something I already have.
I have never owned a 360; however, I must say that now is the time for me to get one 100%. I will be joining the ranks of you 360 gamers soon, so I hope to see you guys online.
Yes I will be getting one. I desperately need a HDD upgrade. And I'm going wireless with my router so need an adapter so by the time you add those up! Xbox 360 slim time XD
I'll be a getting it. I'm kimnda sad because i still have my orginal 360 from launch date 20 gig premium and it has never rrod on me. She's been a good girl...
