[QUOTE="thequietguy"]Does the Slim have an optional ethernet port? If not, how reliable is the wi-fi adapter? Also how much does a transfer cable cost? Does the 360 Slim come with an HDMI cable? Please answerthequietguy

Yes it has an ethernet port. The Wi-Fi is very reliable. The transfer cable costs $19.99. No the slim does not come with an HDMI cable, i recommend going to monoprice.com because i got an HDMI cable for $5.

No it just comes with batteries. But it does come with a cool black controller and black headset. and i don't know much on how the transfer cable works. i just used a USB flash drive to transfer my data.

so in other words, no you are not farting in the wind

No you do not need the wireless adapter. I'm really glad i never bought the adapter cause it was an extra reason for me to upgrade to the new 360. It was easy connecting it to my wireless router.

Have any of you seen any videos of the Slim demolishing games? Apparently they're serious about not moving the Xbox while you're playing.JhnRll7

i 2nd monoprice.com!!!! $5 HDMI cables. no different than those stupid jacked up priced monster cables

*Update*Ok I played my new slim 360 some more the second day and I will have to say it still sounds kind of loud compared to my older PS3 phat. Now it is quieter than the Jasper arcade I tried out and returned last year from Walmart(that sounded like a jet). Good thing this has a HD since I just downloaded the game there and it was quiet. It did seem to be a little bit hotter to the touchthan my PS3 phat gets from similar playing. I would probably advise people to hold off from getting a 360 slim if they don't really need one now until it is known how reliable this model really is. I will say though if you have the money and really want you should just go for it as it looks nicer and does seem to be a little bit quieter and better built than previous models.

I bought mine just last week. I'm loving it :) Like everyone said, quieter, all that.

But I did something stupid. I transferred all my data with a USB. Apparently moving it form on HDD to another Corrupts and deletes save files... I lost my lvl 61 and lvl 45 characters in Borderlands, and my Assassin's Creed 2 save. I was pissed.

So, back to grinding everything again :evil:

i didnt need any of my demos or anything. i just put all my save files on a flash drive to transfer

i payed $110 with the gamestop trade-in deal today. its pretty sweet. i've seen pictures of it before but when i actually took it out, it was considerably lighter and smaller than the other xbox. it seems like its only slightly bigger than the wii (dontown one but still). the only problem which was my mistake, i turned it on before i hooked it up to my tv to hearhow quiet it was. then when i went to plug in theHDMI i accidently put my hand on the xbox and the disk traybutton reacted and tried to open, the only problem was the sticker, with the warning: not to move the xbox, was still on it so i quickly took it off, but that was scary. it works awesome now, wi-fi and 250gbhard drive is great!
