No UI changes
No HDMI cable in the bundle
Cannot use standard notebook hard drives instead of the proprietary ones
Leaner, (slightly) meaner and quieter. Inches closer to the allinone entertainment box we've been waiting for. Cosmetic touches like touchsensitive power and eject buttons class up the joint. Thrusts overpriced accessories ( for a WiFi dongle?!) into obso
In many ways the same console we've been playing since Senior Year. Interconsole data transfers still require a wonky proprietary cable
Xbox 360 Impressions Published on 16th July 2010 by Joe Martin Xbox 360 ImpressionsThe final criteria we chose to test the Xbox 360 Slim on was speed. While all Xbox 360 games are programmed with a specific set of hardware limitations in mind, meanin...

Generates more heatStill uses proprietary HDD systemNo hi-def playback out of the box
The new Xbox 360 is a sleek, stylish contraption, shiny black from head to cords, but it doesn't offer quite enough to make it an obvious upgrade for those who've bought one before. If the screeching cries of your existing unit are driving you up the wall...
Abstract: Microsoft was the first to enter this current console-gaming generation with its original Xbox 360, a hulk of a system that beat both Nintendo and Sony to the punch. Despite the millions of Xboxes sold (or possibly because of it), the 360 line—encompas...
Revamped, more compact, elegant design, Integrated 802,11n Wi-Fi, Powerful 3D graphics, Excellent, diverse games library, Robust online community,
Glossy shell attracts fingerprints and smudges, Although smaller, the power supply is still bulky, Still lacks Blu-ray,
A still-solid gaming and entertainment experience coupled with a revamped eye-catching design, internal 802.11n Wi-Fi, and more storage make this the best Xbox 360 yet. ...
Regardless, the new Slim is an interesting departure from the old hardware and well worth a look if you've fallen out of the Xbox crowd due to a bricked console. It's a sturdy and handsome upgrade to a workhorse console and, at $299 it isn't too dear to c...
Sleeker design; 17 percent smaller; much quieter operation; better cooling; touch-sensitive power and disc tray; 250GB hard drive; built-in Wi-Fi; five USB ports; dedicated Kinect port; onboard optical digital audio
The hard drive is still proprietary, controller on D-pad remains unchanged, cumbersome power block, renders existing faceplates useless, no cables for HD gaming out of the box
Though the new Xbox 360 certainly addresses most of the concerns we've had with the versions before it, we don't think it warrants a purchase if you already own an Xbox 360 in working order with an HDMI-out port and a hard drive.
