Not mine, but here you go:

Here are some impressions and images from a poster on xbox.com.

This is my review of my new XBOX 360 Slim that I purchased today at the Microsoft Store.

As expected from a dashboard and gaming perspective nothing has really change so I will address the differences that I have noticed.

1. New Case - The case is not drastically smaller in size but it is definitely smaller then it predecessor. It does smudge easy as I expected with the glossy finished looked. Sleek little design that I personally think looks better. For size differences and pics check my link at the bottom.

2. Whisper Quiet - The new slim is extremely quiet compared to all of the other versions of the consoles released prior. Even when playing a game directly off of the disk. For a test I played Red Dead Redemption straight off the disk and hardly any noise from my console what so ever. Even while loading it to the HDD and then running it from there I had barely any noise on install or playing from disk. No more jet engines with this baby!

3. Heat - Are you curious about heat. Dont be fooled to think this console will product no heat. The console does still kick off some heat but the system seems to handle releasing the heat build more efficiently. There is a vent now on the top of the console allowing the heat to escape easily so overall the console stays rather cool. Even after being power on for a few hours the console itself to the touch was not really hot compared to my other two 360's.

4. New Touch Buttons - The touch sensitive buttons for the DVD Eject and Power On are a nice additional. They are extremely sensitive and activated with the slightest touch at least on my console.

5. Wifi - I really do not use the wifi as my house is hardwired but I set it up for a test and had no issues what so ever. Tested downloading some large files and streaming video and it worked extremely well. I have seen some people concerned with signal strength, which I had no problems with. My router is on another floor but it is still not extremely far away from the 360 either in case you are wondering.

6. Power Supply - The power supply is a lot smaller then the one the came with my Elite. In case you are curious it is 135W and does have a fan in it to help keep it cool.

7. Controller - Maybe its just cause its new bu the controller seems to be a little more responsive and I like the feel overall. I am not sure if they changed anything on the DPAD but man it definitely seems to work better then the ones on my older controllers.

Well those are the main hardware things that I wanted to comment on. I will say that I am extremely happy with my purchase. I love that it is smaller, the guide seems to run smoother and not as choppy as it was on my older Elite, and its extremely quiet which is one of the biggest benefits for me personally. I am more than please and I hope that anyone else that gets one is just as pleased. We now have the console that Microsoft should have released to begin with. I have upload a few pics from my unboxing. Hope you enjoy.

Well just got back from the burger place, but I guess I don't have to go through the trouble since someone else went through all the trouble on another forum. I was going to take pics of it side by side with my other 360 lol.


It is quiet as ****, feels like a pc. I also noticed that the wi fi connection is a bit faster to load thing over my old 360 with the wireless adapter.
