Master Phruby Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 ...its available now and looks like a smaller version of the Xbox One. Why did they have to screw up such as nice look? http://www.slashgear...icial-10285691/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I dunno. I can't hate too much on another Xbox 360. The heat issues and RROD tend to happen less with newer revisions. They never promised Linux or full backwards compatibility like Sony. That being said I'd rather buy a modded original Xbox from our own Mark Wolfe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Shit. I thought I was buying "the latest" a few months ago. Is there nothing improved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Phruby Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 It sounds like just size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 It sounds like just size. Well, it is a new revision of the main board. Like I said, that usually means better reliability as they fix issues they should have in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slab0meat Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Happy to say my Slim 250, which I bought immediately, has never caused me a problem, so no need to "upgrade" .. but the step from the original style to the slim was a big step up.

cimerians Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I can't get another although it's always tempting, I just don't like the looks of this one. I have my original white I got on launch week way back but it was repaired by MS at one point for RROD. I still don't want to ever get rid of it. It doesn't have HDMI and seldom gets used. My Star Wars one is my favorite. I have a Call of Duty model and 4 faceplates I switch between two of the units. I have 4 original modded Xbox's I did myself (one of them was done by Mark). I custom painted the buttons on one of the units and am thinking of painting the shell. Fun stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 One of the key selling points of this new unit is that it doesn't take up much room in your submarine. Have you guys ever seen the living quarters of a submarine!!? Teeny, tiny. Man this is going to be a HUGE seller I know it!! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wood_jl Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I don't know that it would be "wise" to grab a spare of the "old" "slim" but I'm thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbeliever Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Aw, no curves? I love curves! But yeah, this is a good idea, I suppose. I have my Xbox 360 that my wife gave me still, and no RROD's at all on the unit. I think she's sexy...not sure why they lost the curves, though. Oh yeah, wait....it's a "smaller" version with no curves. My bad. To throw in two cents here, the Kinect thing (packaged bundle during Christmas of last year) was a good idea I think, but my wife and I never really use it. I'm all about the other games (shooters, big explosions, classic Genesis titles), and not jumping around the living room in a boat. Probably would do me a world of good to start jumping around a bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Are the newer revisions still BW compatible to the Xbox 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emehr Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Is there any disadvantage to getting the 4GB model besides not being able to install games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Boring looking. I'll keep my 360 "S" model with the glossy finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenegg Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I really wish they'd bring back white units. I just feel the 360 looks so much better in white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Boring looking. I'll keep my 360 "S" model with the glossy finish. It looks cool but I can't stack mine with other electronics. But then making it smaller isn't going to help with that any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammR25 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Are the newer revisions still BW compatible to the Xbox 1? Any Xbox 360 with a hard drive is "backwards compatible" with select Xbox Classic system games. There are two versions of this newest slim. One only has a 4GB flash drive and the other SKU has a 250GB hard drive. 360s which only have a flash drive are not backwards compatible.

Andromeda Stardust Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) As I have said before, nothing wrong with the aesthetics of the Xbox one. The new 360 has got massive vents on the top which should keep the console nice and cool. This is the new 360 console the PR guy was talking about, for all those people who don't have online. Hopefully they still include option for an external hard drive. At the very least I'm assuming it's still online capable unlike the Wii mini.

Did you miss the photo? It looks stackable now. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godslabrat Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I prefer this over either previous design. Next week, I'm taking stock of which Xbox games I want to keep for the long haul. I'd be very interested in trading my rrod-prone unit for one of these. OTOH, I don't feel like giving MS any money right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to get on board the current gen and if the 4GB isn't too gimped I'm just going to go for that. Hard to justify $300 for a seven year old console (whatever happened to the $99 console?). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Additional question is whether MS will drop the price of the 360 soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbeliever Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I would assume yes, they will, but probably not until the One is launched. My question is how much longer will they continue to produce 360 games? And another question, since I'm on a roll: About how many 360 games are there in the wild?

Hyper_Eye Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) On Wikipedia: This is a list of retail Xbox 360 games released or planned for release on DVD.... There are currently 959 games (multiplatform: 757; exclusive: 123; console exclusive: 79) on this list as of June 06, 2013.

Unbeliever Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Oh, wow. Guess I won't have to worry about "not having enough games for it" when it goes the way of the other consoles. Then again...maybe that won't happen and Microsoft will "fall back" on it. Anyone have any theories to how long the big "M" will support the 360?
