CHR1S Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 So its been announced, I like it, but well, can you justify the cost if you already have a fully working original 360? Hmmm http://news.spong.com/article/21566/E3-2010-Xbox-360-Slim-Ships-This-Week-USD299-PIX (seems the servers being hammered just a little lol) Mmmm black and shiny!!
sted Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 but does it still have a cat5 port as tbh it annoys me things being wifi only for instance my wii is 10cm from router why wouldnt i run a cable?
BlackBoxIT Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 not sure Chris, i would say it has a cat5 also sted

Arthur Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) In some of the photos it looks like it has a matte finish, while in other it looks glossy. Which is it? I hope it's the former, because black glossy plastic is horrid. Edit. Urgh!! It's glossy. Edited June 14, 2010 by Arthur
Arthur Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) Found some better photos.... http://www.shacknews.com/screenshots.x?gallery=14988 and here... http://www.flickr.com/photos/majornelson/sets/72157624274842982/ Edited June 14, 2010 by Arthur

It does have an Ethernet port. They would have to be incredibly stupid to leave that out given the previous model had it. http://www.shacknews.com/screenshots.x?gallery=14988#img159047 Edited June 14, 2010 by Arthur
john Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Looks like sort of a firewire port nearly :S Also see they are on a nearly normal figure 8 power lead now, does this mean the mains adaptor isn't the size of a breeze block? Also, does anyone think it looks slightly styled by Alienware?

CHR1S Posted June 14, 2010 Author Posted June 14, 2010 anyone know how different the hardware is, any performance improvements from the integrated CPU/GPU?
Arthur Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Since it's a fixed platform, performance would have to remain the same. The main benefits for consumers are that it is cooler and quieter, due to the 45nm CPU/GPU, near silent DVD drive and larger fan. For Microsoft, they can probably make a profit on it now.
Arthur Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Obligatory unboxing video... http://www.viddler.com/explore/engadget/videos/1524/
EduTech Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 about time it was made public! Say No More! I am getting one
featured_spectre Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 i shall be giving my xbox to my brother and getting one!
Hightower Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Hmmm, could have sworn the PS3 had 'touch sensitive' buttons. Come to think of it, the PS3 is only 'whisper' loud as well. Ah, but the new Xbox has a smaller power supply. Oh wait a second, the PS3 has the power supply built into the system. Wifi? PS3 had that from day 1. Hard-drive? Okay, it kinda wins on that but I could put any 2.5" HDD in my PS3 should I feel the need. Oh, we've got a winner - the new Xbox has FIVE USB ports. That's one to charge each of the five phones every charva has. See, PS3 only has two and I've never found a need for more yet. One to charge my second controller and one to connect a USB pen to watch a video.

kevbaz Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 as an obvious ps3 fan boy then whats your reaction to loosing out on future call of duty maps and other dlc? theyre now 360 exclusive i believe, and its yet another game franchise moving towards the 360 along with final fantasy, metal gear solid and GTA. who cares about the size of the power brick? its just chucked behind your tv along with all the other wires, adaptors and extension leads.. its a moo point
