i guess they were released just today, i would check local stores over the next few weeks

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

yeah if you go on xbox live it has a video of it same price to for just 299.99! lol

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

Makes my 360 Elite look like crap.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

My sister just won a 360 elite at her all night senior party, maybe she can trade it in for one?

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

I'm really curious how fast this one will red ring lol

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

My guess is little to none.

Pretty awesome, if I didn't have an xbox I would buy it. I'm pretty content with my elite right now.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

The gamestop by me said they should have them in by the end of week.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

Gee. PS3s only had this since... uhm... its inception! MUAHAHAH. Until you dont have to pay to use xbox live, ill be sticking with my ps3. Plus the 30% failrate doesnt help.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

Yes, because the PS3 online community is absolutely stellar. The vast majority of the red ring failures are easily fixable as well.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

Ive had numerous friends of mine have theirs completly bricked where they had to return it. One friend is on his 4th xbox due to all kinds of failures not limited to software issues. And another friend is on his 3rd.

PS3 Online community? Whats that? LOL It lets me play games when i want to and if i want to play online, it lets me as long as i have an internet connection, it lets me connect with friends. I think its good.
In reality, i dont do a whole lot of online gaming with my ps3, the Blueray player is awesome, The Media Server works great, and if i want to play any pictures, music, videos etc i can do that. Couldnt ask for more on this. :)

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

Selling my elite and buying this. Has a high WAF too!

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

I've got both the PS3 and xbox...PS3 was the highest reviewed bluray player for the price, and is still considered the best one for its range I believe, which is the only reason I bought it. I hate gaming on the PS3, the only game I have ever really played on it is the Show.

Also PS3 is going to start charging for online gaming...they will still offer the free version, at least for now i believe, but they are going to add an upgraded account option.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

Yup, they've already been shipped so stores should have them sometime this week.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

The only 360s that absolutely bricked were the early ones. Ever since then the RROD has been almost entirely caused by bad application of thermal paste on the CPU/GPU causing them to overheat. Also, the power supplies were changed in the later Elites and those failures have all but disappeared.
All things that the 360 has as well. Neat. :)

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

Lets not forget the PS3 has its own optical drive failure issues. There was a nice thread on MNSC about it written by a guy who repairs xboxs and PS3s for a living.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

Exactly.

The PS3 is a rockin' bluray player. But I picked up a Magnavox BR player off woot for.. $50. Great deal.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

There's one error left that I've found that I can't fix, and that's the 2-ring e74 general hardware failure. That one is generally an ethernet port issue, and short of replacing the mainboard, the box is dead.

I will definitely be picking up one of these new ones. Hopefully that swappable drive is a standard interface so I can transfer all my game saves...

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

I've had the 2 ring when i picked mine up from iheartdsms, the board isn't perfectly flat. I saw a gap between the board/chips and heatsinks. I did the x clamp mod to get the heat sinks to actually sit on the chips and it works wonderfully.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

^ also you added new thermal paste (Arctic 5 from radio shack) really easy fix just grab some shitty paste from best buy. I would buy the new xbox if I didn't already have one.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

Can't believe they still have the garbage disc tray on it instead of a slot loading design like the PS3 and Wii.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

Had what exactly, a black case?

What's WAF?

*edit* LOL! Ya actually anna was excited about it too!

This is kinda my concern. At the same time, I've had my original Gen1 xbox forever and no red ring (knock on wood). I just like the idea of the new featers like being uber quiet and kinect ready, there's some wii games that I've almost bought a wii for, and now hopefully they'll get ported.

Truf, but with 250Gb, you can just copy all of your disks to your hdd anyways. :)


Amazon has the new ones in stock:

want!

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

Hell, I've been doing that with my 100GB just fine. I am starting to get low on space though, with all the DLC on there as well.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

Wireless. For non-hardcore gamers like me the PS3 was and still is the easy choice.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

500gb PS3 > 250gb 360 :)

I'd rather fill up my hard drive with videos, music, DLC, than the disc data.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

Notice how the new 360 drive is removable...put a 1 terabyte drive in there if you really want.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

So it's finally how the PS3 has been since launch? Just looked it up and there is a 1tb drive with the correct size you can throw in a ps3 also.

I wonder if microsoft will require hard drives bought through them like previous 360's still?

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

Regardless the features the PS3 had before the 360, the 360 was always the more fun console to play on.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

It's the controller...the 360 one owns the PS3 one. 360 is the gamers console...ps3 is the person who very rarely games console but loves bluray and loads of features they won't use.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

ugh fanboyism on both sides drives me insaaaaaaaaaane

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

I own both ;) I like both for different reasons.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

That's pretty much me right there. I rarely game, but I watch Blurays and use the Netflix instant streaming quite often. I bet it's been 4+ months since I've even touched a controller (I use a Harmony remote for movies/Netflix).

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

hah nice. i've been an xbox owner forever but i will probably pick up a ps3 at some point because it finally has a few decent exclusives now.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

I used to own a Wii too, because I am a pretty big gamer, sold it though, then bought it again, then sold it again, lol. Three systems is too much, i barely play one now.

I would, PS3 has a lot of cool stuff, but pure gaming i still will always go xbox.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

I'll be keeping my MW2 Elite 250gb. Don't really see the need to upgrade at this time.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

I never understood the Controller arguement. I have always liked the PS Controllers (hasnt really changed through ps1, 2 or 3). The 360 controllers are too large and bulky.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

PS3 just came out with 3d games yesterday. Seems to be the next big thing. They said killzone 3 will be 3D and also use the playstation move with it.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

I agree, the PS controllers always felt more natural.

Re: New Xbox 360 - built in wifi & 250GB Hdd
 

If the analog stick was where the pad was i would agree, but it's not...yuck.

They are all based off the best controller...super nintendo!
