Posted June 14, 2010 It's a fugly looking thing, but I suppose you can't argue with it if you're still looking to pick up an Xbox for the first time. Stores will be paying you to take the old models away from them now though surely? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2010 The same price... now... considering it includes a bigger HDD and WiFi then... I dunno. It could be justified in comparison to the XBox 360 as it is now. But this thing is now being directly targeted at the Wii audience. So... they now have to buy this (which is more expensive) PLUS the Kinect to match the Wii. Also... no price announced for Kinect?

Posted June 14, 2010 Yeah, I'll prob get one of these, as I don't have a 360. Just a bit of a shame it looks like someone sat on it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2010 Also... no price announced for Kinect? According to the pre-conference talks, it seems that Microsoft haven't decided on a "Sell it as high as you can" or a "Get everyone to buy it" approach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 14, 2010 If it's really that much smaller I'll buy one, short on space under the TV and I'm kinda worried that the 360 is a bit too wedged in. Plus, my warranty ends at the end of the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2010 maybe a spare for my bedroom! just depending on the price when it comes to the uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2010 My HDD recently died (so I'm back on 20GB) so a snazzier console seems like a good idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2010 Why are people calling it the "Slim"? Xbox never referred to it as that... it is smaller both ways. I wonder if you will get one if your Elite RRoDs... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2010 I need my chunky 360. It gives the extra inche that my PS3 needs to stand on so the HDMI cable reaches my TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2010 Yeah ReZ we get it. You don't use your 360 except as a stand for your PS3 so you can fit your dick in it. You can stop going on about it now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2010 I think it looks great. I would have picked one up if there was also a price drop. It is funny how it looks more like a PS3 (The older shiny one, not the ugly new one). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 14, 2010 So I'm thinking Microsoft are waiting for a price-drop until Kinect is out. Otherwise I don't see how the Wii audience will be bought with a £320 kit plus games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 14, 2010 I want it just for the wireless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 14, 2010 Yeah I'm thinking that their plan. That way they get all the geeks buying it for buying sake, and a price-drop for the casual audience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
