Redesigned 360 Revealed, Built In Wi-Fi And 250 Gig Hard Drive

I guess somebody at Microsoft decided that the 360 just didn't look quite enough like the Xbox 1
 
Too bad, I probably would have gotten one for my bedroom if it looked at all like an attractive piece of consumer electronics.  What a train wreck.

I do need a new 360...

Might buy one and keep it in the box, don't want it getting smudged

yay! Oh wait, I don't care.

I'll probably be picking one of these up. my old 360 is acting weird so might be almost time for the red lights :(

All I can really say is about time. I can't believe it took em this long to add all the features that should have been standard from the getgo
 
of course, at the going rate of 299, it would probably be easier just to add a hard drive and wireless adaptor to your existing xbox (about 199 give or take). I'd get one if my current console goes toast, but why lay down 3 c-notes more?

I've got a noisy and HDMI-less launch 360 Premium. It's time I upgrade!

More fans! Less overheating! Less red rings!

Looks nice :)

time for another 360 in the house.

I don't mind the new look,  and it's about damn time it had built in wireless.  Hopefully the seperate wireless adapter gets dirt cheap for the rest of us now.

This looks like fugly cock-shit. I mean...what? The Xbox 360 I've been waiting for and you make it look like ass + release it FIVE YEARS after the original Xbox 360 release? I mean, is this supposed to be an insult?

So here's my question. What HDMI Spec does this sucker use? Any chance it's HDMI 1.3 or newer? and if so can I plug my HDDVD Drive into the new 360 Slim and get DTS-HD and DD-TrueHD when watching my HDDVD's?

i hope i can trade up my console for Free

I wonder if its lighter than the original...

Not enough under the hood to get me to upgrade

Is there any word on transferring data from an old hardrive yet? I haven't seen anything.

Not looking forward to 360 Slim. But if having built in wi-fi drives down the cost of the wi-fi adapter to a price that isn't highway robbery than I'm all for it.

It's good to see features that should have been basic years ago finally included (wi-fi) and I like the aesthetic redesign, but I was hoping for maybe a bit more to make the package more enticing.  It's good for people who were looking at a 360 soon though, as it includes most of the features that SHOULD have already been there.

I doesn't really look "slim", but I has good features like wi-fi and it being super quiet is also great. I probably won't get it though.
 
Also, this is being released this week! That's crazy! 

people seem to be going apeshit over this thing.  I'm not seeing why exactly....am I missing something?  The built in wifi is nice I suppose except I already bought an external one for my 360.  I guess I'd get one if my other 360 dies but that's about it.  I don't recall many people caring when PS3 slim came out...which came with a price drop...didn't it?
 
and kinetic as well as move are definitely a PASS for me at this point at least.

Well with my 360 slowly on its way to the console grave yard. (with random lockups and red rings) I'll  be picking one of these up when I have some extra cash.

Finally after 5 years the Xbox 360 is here.
 
That goddamn hard drive better be removeble.

No matter if you think its good looking or ugly the new wifi and the 250 gb hard drive make it worth the price for sure. If it is quiet even better. I have been looking to get a new xbox to put in my living room and this is definitely what I want. Might wait til fall and see if they do any promotions or pack ins.

As the only owner of the not ever red ringed launch 360, I can't wait for mine to die so I can buy this!

can i transfer files from my old hdd to the new one?  If i can then i'll consider buying this

Glossy black. UGH!! Why do companies continue to use this horrible material for it's casings?

" Looking good and they finally put wi-fi in the damn thing. "

I wonder if HDD upgrading is more like the PS3 or not and what about people who already own a 360 HDD?

finally built in wifi

" can i transfer files from my old hdd to the new one?  If i can then i'll consider buying this "

Looks like a PC case, sorta like an Alienware. Could have done better in the looks depato Microsoft.

I was just thinking yesterday that I might buy a 360 if they ever came out with a black one. Bam. Done.

Oh, and "Kinect Ready"?  When are we going to get the answer on whether that means Kinect won't work with old 360s?  It could just be a branding thing to try to get the Kinect name out there and get parents knowing they're purchasing the right thing, but those words are troubling as is. "

Hopefully, the RRoD will be a built in feature. And Kinect-ready? Does this mean the original 360 owners get shafted by Microsoft?

I'll trade my current 60gb for one. The advantages more than outweigh the cons. Plus I believe the power brick is now internal.

The look isnt too bad. I dont have a problem with the fan volume either because i install every game that i play.  A new HDD and wifi is nice but i think most people are adapted to their ethernet cabels...

That is a sexy console.

That's a bit of an overstatement. "

That's an overstatement if I've ever seen one. "

looks like shit, lets hope they fixed the red ring crap;.

Official FAQ from Xbox forum:

Is there any performance difference at all between the new Xbox 360 and the original Xbox 360?

No game performance differences.  It plays the same games and acts the same way as any Xbox 360.  
 
How about backwards compatibility with all my Xbox 360 games and Original Xbox games?

No changes at all!  All your current Xbox 360 and Orginal Xbox games (on the backwards compatibility list) will still work as they do today.  Remember though, you need a hard disk to play Original Xbox games.

Is the fan quiet?

Yes, in fact the entire console is whisper quiet.
 
The photos show fan slots on the right side of the console.  Does it vent to the back still, or the side?

The side (or top of you have it resting horizontally)

Removed: The front Memory Unit slots were removed, but the front 2 USB slots are still there for controllers, USB storage, music game hubs, etc..  (Remember, since the 2010 Spring dashboard update, you can use any USB port on the console with a USB thumb drive as an Xbox 360 storage device)

Removed: The small cutout that the external wireless adapters connect to on the back of the console.  Since the console now has internal wireless N connectivity, you may not want to use the external wireless adapter.  If you find that the external adapter works best for you, that device has feet that swing out to allow it to sit on top of the console.

 Added: An optical audio out (a.k.a. TOSlink, S/PDIF). It’s on the back of the 360 S now instead of on the AV cables.

Added: A port for the Kinect sensor that is a hybrid data and power port.  Kinect works with all Xbox 360 consoles, but on the new Xbox 360, you don’t need a separate power adapter for the Kinect sensor because this port will provide the power.

Added:  2 more USB ports on the back, bringing the total to three on the rear of the console in addition to the 2 on the front of the new Xbox360.  

The new Xbox 360 does not have removable faceplates.

Where is the wireless controller bind button, I don’t see it in any of the pictures?

It’s in the front.  It was combined with the IR receiver on the front, so that’s why you don’t notice it!

 Does it stand vertically and horizontal and do I need an adapter or a stand?

The Xbox 360 console is designed to stand vertically or horizontally. Unlike other consoles, it does not require a stand to sit upright and with the new sleek design it looks and fits great in your living room entertainment center. However, no matter how you position the console, you should not move the console during game or media play, or at any other time when the disc is spinning.

 What band does the internal wireless N use?

It’s 2.4GHz.

Do the external wireless adapters work with new Xbox 360 ?

Yes.  And if you connect one to the new Xbox 360  will sense this and disable the internal wireless.

Is the power supply the same?

No.  It’s a bit smaller and it’s now 135 watt.  The connecter type is different too because it’s not meant for use in original Xbox  360 consoles.

Is the hard drive removable?

Yes, just like on the original 360 console, the hard drive is removable.

How can I move data from my current Xbox 360 to the new Xbox 360?

sure i want it, will i replace my current, working 360 with it? hellll no! 

" Hopefully, the RRoD will be a built in feature. And Kinect-ready? Does this mean the original 360 owners get shafted by Microsoft? "

That xbox is damn sexy.  It looks like the future!

Why does everything these days have to be so shiny? 
 Will probably get one anyway, still have the original 360 and need a new one with HDMI.
