Thoughts on the new Xbox 360 S console?

June 20, 2010 12:34pm CST
I'm digging the built in N wifi, and the storage in it, but the price is a bit hefty. A Microsoft rep confirmed that a $199 "arcade" slim will be coming out later this year. The thing is a fingerprint magnet too! I'm pretty sure I'll get one when my own 360 breaks, but until then, I think it's a waste of money. What do you think?

I have never owned an Xbox before, just a gamecube, but this new Xbox 360 S console makes me really want one now. I prefer the shinyness and dont mind wiping the fingerprints off of it every now and then. I might just use it as a DVD player most of the time sense I dont play games that often.

Well, if you have a HDTV, it upscales dvds, so they look a bit better!

I feel if you are just getting started with xbox and xbox live and all that, it is the best way to go. Because it includes the built in wifi, the sleek new design, th new hard drive location, touch sensor power button and eject button, and the new location of the fans to make it more efficient. And most importantly, it uses half the power of an xbox elite.

For me, I won't be getting the new xbox slim because my old x360 is still working. besides, it has the same games. The only thing I like about the new xbox is that it has a larger hard disk compared to the old ones. And I believe it has a better ventilation to lessen the risk of overheating. But as long as my old x360 is working, I won't get the new x360. I'll wait when the prices will be lower.
