Was thinking of taking the plunge and getting a 360. After looking at buying a used Elite model, I decided I may as well just get a new style one, especially as I'll need the wireless anyway.

Think I'll probably trade my current elite in when Halo Reach is released - no doubt they'll be a deal where the game comes with it
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
I don't know why but I just don't like the look of the thing. I much prefer the classic 360. However the technology inside it might sway me. But only for the 360 exclusive games.
Only thing I'm concerned about is the glossy black finish, it scratches so easily! And it attracts the dust (from experience with pc monitor). I never know the best way to clean that surface, even a soft cloth seems to scratch it. Other than that, I am tempted by the 250gb hd and sleek design. I wonder though why the ps3 was changed from the glossy black to the matte finish...

though i haven't seen one in the flesh it looks awful tacky to me...cheap glossy plasticOriginally Posted by xdantespardax
id stick the the old elite, nothing to warrant the "upgrade" anyway
There is also a new one with a smaller drive coming out, it has a matt black finish

I think the glossy black looks nice but then it attracts dust, finger prints and scratches which spoils it, I assume this new one is the replacement for the arcade just with a smaller hdd fitted, 4gb does seem an odd size though.
You are what I wanted as a kid... to have all the consoles... unfortunately... my parents only let me have a n64 (mind you it was 2nd hand and i only bought it because I loved the zelda games).... I had a sad sad childhoood LOL. Xbox360 is awesome though. Still dont own consoles but would buy the 360 when the day comes!
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz, 2 GB DDR2, 500GB SATA-II 7200RPM, nVidia GeForce 9800GT 512mb, BenQ E2200 HD, BenQ G2412HD, Logitech S510 Wireless set, Creative GigaWorks T3 Speakers.
The new xbox 360 S looks really nice,and the value of the console is just amazingly good it beats the PS3 price range by far.
By the way the 360 slim is not whisper quiet like microsoft said its just as loud when you got a disc in there as the old 360s but when theres no disc in the drive it is a little quieter
I just don't know how it can be called slim by people the thing is no smaller then the previous and I agree with others the gloss is horrible.
The Halo Reach silver one looks ok but theres things i just see as pointless like the touch sensitive eject button that would be better if it was a slot drive which it should of been.
the new arcade one as well i see as stupid 4gb that is lame why didnt they put in some of the old smaller drives in it 20-60gb or even do it as 120 for arcade and 320-500 for higher model.
Because 4GB is all they need to inject Kinect into the market.
