Microsoft's slim Xbox

[DJ_Tet]

Are you going to have to stand to play Kinects?

Who the fuck wants to stand for two hours while playing a game?

[cool breeze]

Is that really the 360 redesign? it looks like a one of those mini Dell towers.  It seems to have a lot of air vents, so good on them for trying to avoid the heat problem the second time around.  Including wi-fi is nice too.

But this is a redesign of a console.  I have no reason to buy this like I didn't have one to buy the slim PS3.

[Eel O'Brian]

jarosh has been strangely quiet here the past few months, i think he's been resting up in preparation for this special moment in history

[Eel O'Brian]

The slim PS2 came at a perfect time; my PS2's disc tray was about to die right when they launched it.

if tretton announced a final price drop for the ps2 to somewhere around $59.99-$69.99 in a special "last production run" color, that would be a nice sendoff for one of the greatest consoles ever made

i'd buy one for the bedroom tv

No, you can sit.

[huckleberry]

Who gives a shit what it looks like as long as the design makes it more quiet and still plays the best games on consoles this gen? I have a ton of GameStop credit just waiting to buy another 360 after I get settled in Portland.

Methodis do you keep a pic of your PS3 in your wallet to J/O to?

he has one tattooed upside down on his belly for ease of access

i really don't care what it looks like. i'm more interested in the specs.

last year there were rumors that msoft might put out a system with more ram and i hope that comes true.

[Eel O'Brian]

yeah, i really don't give a fuck what my videogame systems look like, they're all ugly as sin to me

besides, you can make it as sleek and "sexy" (hate that term) as you want, but as soon as you turn it on in front of your friends and an androgynous armor-wearing ladyboy prances across the screen babbling moonspeak all that shit goes right out the window

[huckleberry]

more RAM (or whatever is needed to make the dashboard not lag), better reliability, and redesigned dpad (I know its not going to happen) = awesomeness.

[Eel O'Brian]

no

[Diunx]

lol it looks like my Dell pc.

[Eel O'Brian]

there was some special green controller that came with a system bundle sold overseas  a while back and allegedly had a better d-pad, but as far as i know there was never any official release (they'll never officially admit their d-pad is herky-jerky shit)

[Raban]

yeah, i really don't give a fuck what my videogame systems look like, they're all ugly as sin to m

DON'T GENERALIZE! /Jinfash

The GameBoy Micro and 2nd gen PStwo both look beautiful.

[cool breeze]

I don't want to sound rude, but why would they make new controllers when this slim Xbox is a way to relaunch it with Natal aka controller-less gaming?  Not that I wouldn't appreciate a perfected 360 controller.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

LOOKS HOT

god you are disgusting atleast move will have actual games.

They won't..and it really is a shame.  Most perfect controller ever made except that shitty Dpad.

god you are disgusting atleast mojo has non-headache-inducing posts.

[MCD]

huge like xbox.

the way i like it.

[Raban]

Where's that totally-not-photoshopped image of an Xbox on a giant tractor?

[Cormacaroni]

Wow, Methodis is actually making me like this.

  Kinect

[maxy]

Looks great,Sony annihilated

[brob]

looks ass, but then again so did the 360. So does the ps3. so does the blah blah blah.

But will it overheat?! that's my issue. Like, that's the sole reason why I've held off buying one.*


*don't have the money either

[Third]

Looks bigger than the original X360, and uglier, too. I think MS is missing the concept of "slim"

[recursivelyenumerable]

Original PS2 looked great.  Best looking console ever, in fact.  Real talk.

Look at the CD drive in that picture.

[Shurs]

If this is announced at E3, would it be safe to assume that the hardware revision should hit retail within the next two weeks?

i still wanna know if the power brick is internal and about what you're suppose to do if you want to upgrade and transfer your content over.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

is there a press release for this yet

[Eel O'Brian]

OG Arcade is $149.

good to know for when my elite inevitably craps out

[Saint Cornelius]

If I can transfer the data off my Duke 360 onto the new slim model, then I will get day one.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Im defintly getting it day one, prob gunna sell my wii.

[Saint Cornelius]

Only filthy poors sell their systems.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

So it's not going to have natel integrated?

[maxy]

So it's not going to have natel integrated?

No it will have Kinect integrated and it will have to be ducktaped to TV.

[cool breeze]

So it's not going to have natel integrated?

sounds like using this new 360, you don't need an extra power supply/brick for Kinect.

[maxy]

EG has some pictures

[Jansen]

nice. still is the power supply internal or not? 

regardless while i want one now i think i'll hold off until my warranty expires in oct.

that way i won't have to worry about any "issues" that may arise from this redesign.

[MCD]

[Purple Filth]

Holy crap it became the fat PS3. (Touch sensitive buttons, wifi, internal HDD, glossy finish).


Memory units and the 360 External HDDs are not supported

[MCD]

i have the perfect gift for my brother's kid.

an old 360 that no one wants anymore.

[Jansen]

external power brick and no mention of how to get my current content onto it

[MCD]

use a usb flash?

someone on gaf said you can you the transfer cable/cd.

[GoofyGoober]

"45NM and integrated CUP and GPU." Is this that "Valhalla" chipset they rumors a while back that the CUP/GPU would be on one chip?

[Jansen]

flash drive would work fine until you run into shit it won't transfer (OG xbox dlc, some save files).

Yes.

amasterninja on gaf once said that all saves can be moved now, including old ass saves like doa4.

[TakingBackSunday]

If Gamestop has a decent trade-in value for my current 360, I might get this.

[maxy]

X360 launched at 399 in 2005, here we are in 2010 with a redesign, why is it 299? I was considering getting it but this price is exorbitant

Kinect is also $149. Just a few dollars more and you can get a Wii with that kinda money. Good luck Microsoft.

Power of Xbox games

[Bloodwake]

Because it comes with the 100 dollar Wi-fi dongle for pretty much free, with a smaller system and a bigger hard drive than the current $299 model.

[TakingBackSunday]

How would you transfer your the information saved on your HDD?

I already have all of my info on an external.  Wouldn't that work?

[MCD]

How would you transfer your the information saved on your HDD?

what info? gamertag? achievements? licenses? all that is live.

saves/dlc/games can be moved via usb.

How about you get a fucking job instead of whining about how expensive video games are?

Current X360's still break and MS has the guts to release a slimmer one.  

I wonder how many units will die this time around.

Haha I completely forgot about the USB support they put out recently!

Yeah, me too. I was even thinking "Everyone will have to re-rip any CDs they've got on 360," but since those are already data which is internal to the system, it's coo'.

[bork]

I don't like that the USB ports have been moved to the back of the system.  I use those all the time for controllers.
