Xbox Slim
Is this the new xbox out?
does it come in a elite version with HDMI etc?? or what versions does it come in.? how is it better then the old.. anyone know? |
Been out since July I think. I have one, it is quieter than the old one, and lees susceptible to the overheating issues and RROD. Im sure there is a new problem there somewhere. Nicer looking too, and most importantly wireless boilt in so no more £50 odd for a wireless adaptor.

Yep have a new XBOX 250GB slim version since September. And there are problems with the new one. I have had mine lock a couple of times on occassion as well as kicking me off XBOX live in a middle of a game of co-op with a mate :(
Also they are prone to the now known red dot of death if you stand them up on the end. Therefore a mate of mine will not purchase a new one as this is the only option he has for having one. Do a search on google for Xbox 360 slim and red dot of death and there are plenty of videos on this. On the up side the bigger HDD, built in Wi-Fi, Optical out and quiet fan makes it a better machine. And no I am not a PS3 or Wii fanboy as I own all 3 ;) . And have 2 of the older models of xbox 360 die on me with the red Ring of Death. |
as above, been out a while now
traded my 120GB Elite in for a 250GB Slim a couple of months ago and love it they are much quiter, not just in terms of the cooling fans, but also the DVD drive, smaller, nicer looking unit, built in wireless N, etc definately an improvement and glad I got mine :D |
didn't know there were any issues!?
mine has been spot on, as was my Elite before that and my original 20GB Premium lasted 2 years before I got RROD |

Luckily I havent come across this yet: http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/3383...0-slim-red-eye http://www.techdigest.tv/2010/06/xbox_360_slim_-.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfGVZDULfnE But definately had issues with the odd lock up though :( |
sounds like people are putting them in enclosed spaces with poor ventilation
mine is sat on a shelf on a glass TV stand with plenty of breathing space, which probably explains my lack of issues with 3 consoles |

I still got the old 360 elite and not had any problems with it,partly why i haven't bought the new one.The fan noise on the old one doesn't really bother me either,can't here it much when watching a movie or playing games having it connected to my hi-fi speakers :)...I will get the new but am in no hurry..

Is there only one type of slim xbox?
Anyone know if they can be chipped? |
there is a 250GB model and a 4GB model (useless) at the moment
not sure if they can be chipped yet, but you can never play online, so pointless doing it as that's half the fun :rolleyes: |
Why is the 4gb useless, if only used for gaming~?

I quite often install my most played games to HD too which you wouldn't be able to do. |
All my games are stored on the hdd best way IMO. :)

This is a good site for info http://www.xbox360-hacks.com/ ;) I think it's going to get interesting when Black Ops comes out, got the feeling we'll see how good these new 'stealth' firmwares really are. After getting banned, I just have the chipped one downstairs to play 'backups' and my unmodded new one upstairs for XBL. :) |

have not unboxed it yet.. but how do you store the games on the HDD? are these purchased through xBox Live? |
put the disc in and press the yellow button and install to hdd, you'll need the disc everytime but saves using the laser :thumb:
