- Bottom Line:
- Though the new Xbox 360 certainly addresses most of the concerns we've had with the versions before it, we don't think it warrants a purchase if you already own an Xbox 360 in working order with an HDMI-out port and a hard drive.

CNET editors' review
Microsoft Xbox 360 S (250GB) price range: $220.00 - $489.95
- Reviewed by: Jeff Bakalar
- Reviewed on: 06/24/2010
- Released on: 06/23/2010
The good: Sleeker design; 17 percent smaller; much quieter operation; better cooling; touch-sensitive power and disc tray; 250GB hard drive; built-in Wi-Fi; five USB ports; dedicated Kinect port; onboard optical digital audio.
The bad: The hard drive is still proprietary; controller on D-pad remains unchanged; cumbersome power block; renders existing faceplates useless; no cables for HD gaming out of the box.
The bottom line: Though the new Xbox 360 certainly addresses most of the concerns we've had with the versions before it, we don't think it warrants a purchase if you already own an Xbox 360 in working order with an HDMI-out port and a hard drive.

Summary: Oh well i think the new design and the build in wifi are great!!! What i dont like its that it dosent play Blue-ray i think i would it be perfect if you guys add a blue-ray reader + an RCA or minijack Audio Output... separate somewhere in the console!!!
Keep it Microsoft your better that Sony anyways!!!

Tired of PS3 fan boys spreading lies on this stuff.
by CT_JAGS on July 6, 2010
Pros: Great hard drive. Glad no blue-ray it is a gaming system. Very quiet. Kinect ready. Affordable price. Don't believe lies Microsoft installed an auto shut off button in case of over heating. A++
Cons: A bit sensitive.
Summary: I am so sick of Sony fan boys making up lies. Coming from a former member of SCA gamer advisory panel I know what I am talking about. Yea it ...
Summary: I am so sick of Sony fan boys making up lies. Coming from a former member of SCA gamer advisory panel I know what I am talking about. Yea it does not have Blue-Ray. But if you only knew how many friends i have that bought a PS3 and regret doing so. The games with the exception of a few are crap. Their online service is buggy and glitchy as all hell. So easy to hack into service and cheat. Yes you pay for xbox live but I love that feature. Hardly any little kiddies messing up your games and cussing. But if you ever experience it Microsoft put in a mute option. Plus there frequently working to improve there great service. I love hearing about the xbox 360 RRD yet nothing about how the PS breaks and constant disc read errors. I had 9 yes 9 PS2 all different models and constant errors. If it wasn't for them breaking it was unable to read disc over and over again. So in summery. This new xbox 360 is a bargain of a deal with or without the trade in outlets. So many new ports and wifi integration. Of course cant put vertical but ask any game store attendant that knows what there doing. If you put any console vertical it will scratch the disc. So why they make them stands never know. So game easy and without a doubt pick up this great new xbox 360 slim system.

Summary: With regular cleaning etc, I managed to keep the first generation Xbox going until about three weeks ago. The RROD finally appeared and wouldn't clear so faced with the X clamp fix or buying a new one with wireless connection etc, I decided to pay for the slim. Yep, you guessed it - the red light came on within 24 hours and it's now in Germany awaiting repair. So at least 3 weeks without what I paid for - thanks Microsoft!
Having spoken to my local gaming shop, I'm not the first. Will I buy another? No. Can I recommend it? No.1 out of 6 users found this user opinion helpful.

basically, it's the same book w/a different cover!
by rrtopaz on June 28, 2010
Pros: - it's looks neat + nice features i can live without.
Cons: anything wrong with putting a cheap, free game with it, MS?
Summary: i have an elite that red-ringed on me and was fixed (thanks, MS) and, you know what, i don't need this. i'm very happy with what i've ...
Summary: i have an elite that red-ringed on me and was fixed (thanks, MS) and, you know what, i don't need this. i'm very happy with what i've got now and to spend another $300 on just a few new items just doesn't make sense to me. on top of that, paying another $150 for the really dumb kinect doesn't amount to a hill of beans for me also...people, you wanna move around while playing, go OUTSIDE and exercise!!! jumpa all you want, run, wave your arms to and from, but to move your body just like the avatar in your favorite video game just doesn't fly with me. i'll continue my button-mashing while seated, enjoying a beer or two and a snack (no, i am not a fat kid on my ass all day, just a tall, slim 50-yr. old who enjoys his gaming the normal way).
if you don't have a 360 yet, NOW is a good time to get THIS one, otherwise don't waste your $$$!!!2 out of 9 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: Worth the upgrade, but don't buy from Gamestop. THeir "Trade-in" promo is a scam. Was told that it ended 2 days ago, but no where in the store were their signs or notices explaining that the program had ended. However on Gamestop.com - says offer expires on 7-18-2010.
