New Xbox 360

Re: New Xbox 360

Video gaming is a hobby. With $60 games and $15 dlc its an expensive hobby. Nobody needs a video game system. But if your gonna get into gaming, which is a luxory, then why not get what you want and not be cheap. I'm gonna get one because I have a pro and want wi fi and 250 gb for only $50 bucks more than an elite, can't buy that for a dollar!

Come on, you must have known I didn't mean it in the way the gaming is a need for some people. I was saying you don't need a wireless adapter to play XBL if you have a router and an ethernet cable. I was also saying you don't need the wi-fi to play Xbox Live because you already have an adapter or you use an ethernet cable.

Well, I'm assuming most people in this thread want the new 360. Mostly because of the name of the thread.

Yeah it seems like it. And I've got to say the Slim would be an upgrade from the Arcade or Pro just because of the hard drive space. But I still don't see much of a difference between the New Xbox and the Elite. Both have more space than anyone knows what to do with, and if you already have a network adapter, why is built in wi-fi necessary?

Re: New Xbox 360

I don't really understand what the difference between the Elite and this new Xbox is. The new Xbox has wi-fi, so does that mean I can get on the Internet from my Xbox, or just that I don't need a router to play XBL?

The box is a cooler black and is smaller and has a cool sound when turning it on, also it has a better cooling system, but mostly it is a way cooler look.

Re: New Xbox 360

Thanks for the help. The info and the video basically told me there isn't much difference between the Elite and the Slim. Sure the slim has 250 GB of space, but the Elite has 120 GB, and that is way too much for me to use anyway.

The noise isn't a factor at all using the Elite because you can simply download all of your games to the hard drive. This means the disc doesn't have to spin within the console, which translates into less work for the Xbox. So I can be playing for hours and my Xbox won't be hot at all, because it's basically like being at the dashboard for the Xbox.

I have no use for the wi-fi either. I already use an ethernet cable to connect to my home's router.



For someone who does not have a wireless adapter, I could see purchasing the Slim. But if you don't already have an adapter, you either don't need one, or you don't have an Xbox 360.

Otherwise if you have an Xbox arcade or pro and are thinking of upgrading, I would definitely reccomend just buying the Elite. Basically the same thing, except the Slim has built in wi-fi, which you wouldn't need anyway. And the Elite is $50 cheaper.

If anything thing is legit, and the cooling system is better on the new slim. That can go a long way with the old 360 3 red lights problems.

I know this might sound vain, but I bought this because of the cool design and that is was black and slim. Plus the fan is whisper quiet. The 250 is cool too, but for me it was the design.

Hey I don't have any problem with being vain. And it's definitely nice not having to hear the blaring noise regular Xbox's make. That's why I like the Elite, because I download all of my games to my hard drive, so the Xbox doesn't make noise because the disc doesn't spin. And I'm sure it's the same on the new one.

It is all good. I like this one better than the black elite. But for $50 more I would recommended this new slim to people looking to get a new 360. It just has this sexy look to it and it looks really good on my back glass TV stand and Black Sony TV and black PS3. The new one just has some cool new features that when you add them all up go a long way. But in the end they are both good machines. I would say this. When I saw the new elites and they were black, I didn't run out and go get it, because it was so much like my white 360. Just the color was different, when I saw the new slim, I had to get this, because it was so much more different looking. I was never really a big fan of the way the 360 looked. It is too bulky for me, so I was very happy to see them go this route.

And a much smaller power supply.

And piece of mind from previous 360 problems.

Re: New Xbox 360

Yeah it uses less power, way better ventaliation with that huge arse vent on the top and sides of it. So for me it was a no brainer, considering I had the 60gb pro. Kind of funny I was 3 days away from buying the elite when E3 happened and they said the new 360 comes out this week.

I was like this WEEK ? My wife say yeah thats what the man said, this week. So she was like hell might as well buy the latest version of it.

I will be getting the new 360 as soon as I can find one in stock... With that said, How do I load a game on the Hard Drive?? I can't wait to get my hands on this sexy machine
