  The New Xbox 360 Slim is the System to beat!

  by xxFreakinLouxx on May 9, 2011

  Pros: Its a great system being smaller, has WiFi, plenty of USB ports. And it comes with a black controller with all the triggers and toggels being black, the xbox logo button is also chromed out, its like a mirror. New touch sensor power button nd tray opener

  Cons: Only con i can see is that it only comes with a 250 GB Hard-Drive. it should at lease come with a 60 GB Hard-Drive to for the less active gamers!

  Summary: Beats nintendos Wii and Sonys Play station 3!

  Summary: I had an older Xbox 360 pro with a 20 gb hard drive that gave me the "red ring of death". I scoured the internet to find a way to fix it and after putting an hour into working on it I got to play for two months before it happened again. I bought the Xbox 360 s and could not be more pleased with it. It far surpasses my old Xbox and I would recommend buying one over fighting with the problems of the older units.

  Summary: A great system if they werent built like absolute crap i would recomend it to anyone, but only time will tell if the newer one is better built. The system seems to be built better, but then Vista looked pretty to when it was released. If i didnt have so much money invested in the games i would have bought a PS3

  Perfect Buy

  by avidgamer89 on November 14, 2010

  Pros: 1). Design is sleaker, sexier, and more efficient to functionality
  2). Runs silently, especially when you install the game to the HDD
  3). No problems with overheating
  4). So far no freezing or errors
  5). Massive 250GB HDD
  5). Well worth $299.99

  Cons: 1). Doesn't come with Component or HDMI cables (Although it does have an HDMI port)
  2). It wasn't sold in 2006.

  Summary: The sleaker and sexier design makes the new 360 much more appealing than the older models by far. Not only is this a boost to aesthetics, but it is also ...

  Summary: The sleaker and sexier design makes the new 360 much more appealing than the older models by far. Not only is this a boost to aesthetics, but it is also more efficient with airflow design improvements and touch buttons. Both a vast improvement from previous models, especially original core/pro models. It runs quietly, more so if you opt to install your game to the massive 250GB HDD. There have not been any tell-tale signs of a faulty system, such as freezing, overheating, glitching, erros messages, so far. I purchased the S 250GB in a holiday bundle package (the only one available at gamestop) which came with a brand new mic and a copy of forza 3. Definately worth the $299. If you have an older model of the 360, I definately recommend trading it in for $70 today. The HDD is an additional $10, and your network adaptor will yield another $20. Throw in a couple of games to trade in and you can get the system for nearly half price.
  
  Bottom line: Pick up this xbox. You will be much happier after trading in your old system for this upgraded beauty.

  Summary: The first slim I bought lasted about 20 sec. and came up with an error code E68 with the red led. So I took it back and exchanged it for a new one. So far It has been doing great. The size is actually a little smaller than the original but not by much. It super quite and does everything the other does. I really like the finger print buttons that operate the power and disc reader. Every system has a problem here and there so don't let my comment dissuade you from purchasing this system.

  Finally has the features needed since day 1.

  by radrider82 on August 30, 2010

  Pros: Built-in Wi-fi and a 250gb HDD, smaller, lighter, quieter and much prettier than the old gray block, Netflix is a dream on the 360 and is lots of fun to watch with your friends.

  Cons: Heats up like crazy, Live is $50 ($60 in Nov) when the PS3's PSN doesn't charge.

  Summary: Let me just start by saying that this is my 3rd Xbox in 3 years. Why do I keep coming back?? It's the games, that's why. But honestly, ...

  Summary: Let me just start by saying that this is my 3rd Xbox in 3 years. Why do I keep coming back?? It's the games, that's why. But honestly, a guy can only take so much abuse...if this one fails, I'm just going to stick to my trusty PS3 which has never gone down in the 4 years I've had it. I love the 360. It's an excellent system with strong, sturdy online support and really fun games (L4D anybody?).
  
  I was surprised the S is only 17% smaller than the original model. It seem smaller, believe it or not. The shiny black coating makes it look much more sleek and comparable to the PS3's beauty. The system does tend to create high heat so make sure to keep it in a very well ventilated area. Having it on for an hour creates crazy heat, so you can imagine having a Halo marathon...yikes...
  
  Overall, the new system does pack a nice 250gb HDD punch and the Wi-Fi is much needed, particularly when the PS3 already had built in HDD and Wi-Fi from the get-go. I don't like the fact that I have to pay for online play but the 360 does provide a solid, strong online experience rendering it worthy of my money. Microsoft does need to step up and man up...I still freak out sometimes not knowing if my 360 will turn off permanently like the times prior...only time will tell, I guess.

  This is what the Xbox 360 should have been

  by Jojo747-2282160186786712764358 on August 28, 2010

  Pros: Quieter, built in WiFi, Kinect ready, no more overheating, no more RROD, smaller power supply

  Cons: Fingerprint magnet, ugly?, no blu-ray drive, seems to blow out more heat, there is a fan on the power supply that makes a slight buzz.

  Summary: This is truly what the Xbox 360 should have been. First of all don't let the "slim" fool you, it's not noticeably smaller than the first (unlike the ...

  Summary: This is truly what the Xbox 360 should have been. First of all don't let the "slim" fool you, it's not noticeably smaller than the first (unlike the PS3 slim) unless held side by side so don't let size be a factor. Where it wins points is with it's MUCH quieter operation (even more quiet if you install to the HDD), built in WiFi (a/b/g/n, that's faster than the PS3 one if you have a router that support wireless N), smaller power supply (mo more "brick") and more reliable (MS claims to have eliminated overheating and the RROD, so far mine has not had one issue). I also have to give Microsoft credit for not following Sony?s example and ADDING features instead of removing features.
  
  Really the only complaint is a lack of a good media experience outside gaming (something they never promised in the first place though). I suppose if you want an all in one entertainment system, the PS3 is still the way to go. The 360 doesn?t do a good job at being a media center (poor interface, overpriced movie rentals that use ?points?, no Blu-Ray), instead it focuses on being a gaming console first. And of course the new Xbox carries all the benefits of the old (Live and the best game selection).
  
  Despite the improvements, if you already have a working 360 I wouldn?t bother buying the upgrade yet. Chances are if you use WiFi you already purchased the ad-on, and if yours hasn?t overheated or RROD than it doesn?t matter if the new one is less likely too does it?
  
  Basically my suggestion is this. If you can afford it get a PS3 and 360 to get the best of both worlds, if you can only afford one get the 360 slim. You won?t regret it if you enjoy gaming at all.
