Considering that they want $100 for a 60gb, that isn't a bad deal and it comes with a transfer cable.

I'm enjoying mine. It's shiny, which isn't matching anything else. Hell, I bought the first matte PS3.  :-\

But the touchless power and eject buttons with sound effects are nice. BING! BONG!  :P

apparently the cheaper slim xbox is matte.  If I ever get one, I'd get that, then be stuck needing an expensive hard drive  :'(

That's funny. It's like people buying the Arcade, because it doesn't have the plastic-crappy silver tray and eject button.

My launch 360 broke down last year and picked up an arcade to replace it.  I didn't notice the drive cover was different until a few weeks ago.

In general I think shiny plastic for electronics end up looking and feeling cheaper.  Ideally everything would be brushed metal.

As a joke, I'd like an eco-xbox, done up in cardboard like those Muji speakers that are just unfolding cardboard box-mounted. Someone has probably already done the cardboard ghetto mod.

What advantage would electronics bring over a regular physical coxbox?

That makes it a bit unportable, don't like it.
