I was surprised how quiet it is. Like even if there is no ambient background noise, you still have to put your ear to the console to hear it, assuming the disk isn't spinning. Even then its still quieter than an old console running off the HD.

I think it lights up red in the center, on the little power icon. I'm just praying it can endure until next console generation though. "

I heard that it doesn't use red lights anymore but has green lights that mean the same thing. "

Since the box is smaller would it be easier to run with than the old 360? If I dropped it in a dumpster while I was running would it still work if I came back for it a few hours later? 

How's the wifi?

If you put your hand over the vents, does it get really hot, or is it sort of only warm? I want to know how much heat it's generating or venting out.

No. You need a transfer kit to move your data. Or you can use a USB flash drive, but trust me, you want to use a transfer kit if you have a lot of data. "

Well, I guess what I'm asking is that can you replace that hard drive? In case it breaks or has corrupted data. Or they bring out a gazillion TB hard drive? "

Right, on the ring around the power button, it has only green (as far as i know). But in the GB unboxing video, the microsoft employee alluded to the center power icon of the power button lighting up red in a case of failure. Not sure if that;s true, but it's in the video, you can watch it. "

I'm sorry I'm asking so many questions, first xbox purchase really, but does it come with like a couple months of Xbox Live Gold? And is anything pre loaded onto the hard drive?

How is the d-pad on the new 360 controller?  Hope this wasn't asked already.  I'm sure it still sucks.

Just like any new controller I've used, the Dpad seems a bit sticky, and needs a little extra pressure for it to work. But all new controllers I've used do that. Im sure its nothing to do with the new model. If your asking if it works any better, it doesn't. Other than a colour redesign, its the same controller. "

I got my slim yesterday morning at Gamestop. I used it through out the day playing videos, Netflix, and Batman AA. Last night I watched some Peter Gunn on Netflix, played more Batman AA then called it a night. 
I awoke this morning and wanted to play some Netflix as I get ready to head out for the weekend. When I turned on the 360slim this LOUD fuzzy sound came out of the TV. You know that annoying sound you hear when a analog TV is not tuned on a channel? That was the sound. Every sound the xbox makes while selecting My Xbox, selecting settings, playing an LIVE arcade game, and watch Netflix was just that annoying fuzz. I restarted the xbox several times with no luck. I reconnected the HDMI cable a couple of times with no luck. 
After checking the internets for any information, I started the 360 again. It sounds like it should. I'm still concerned. I will be trying to call MS but as of right now I have to head out of town. 

" Does he look like a bitch?

Ok here's a question.   
 

1. Will the new 360 with wireless N standard work with my router with wireless G standard?  
2. If I have to upgrade my router will my wireless G standard computer work with my new wireless N router

I got a new Xbox too, and I'm really impressed with how quiet it is. It does get hot after a while though. The controller that came with it has a squeaky left trigger, which is annoying,

I've been googling this for minutes and I can't seem to find either answer

"

1. Yes. I also have a g/b router and it works fine if not better then before.
2. Again yes. Although I know that n routers have the option to operate in different frequencies. If it's set to 2.4Ghz, any g/b adapter should be able to connect to an n router.

Is it dreamy?

Can you have sex with it?

" @JJWeatherman: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Oregon. Good, now I've officially met my snark quota for the month. "

For people who are wondering:
 
My local GameStop allowed me to trade my HDD in after I transferred all of my data to the new Xbox (using the transfer cable) for the trade-in deal credit.  All you have to do is make two trips (:P) and show your receipt.  Also, using the transfer cable is extremely easy; you just plug it in, turn the console on, and it should ask you if you would like to transfer the data over.

Well that was nice of them. There's a chance I could have done that too, but I didn't want to pay $20 for the transfer kit.  "

what is the rectangle thing on the side? is it a vent hole for the fan?

ONLY comes with composite (yellow, red, white) cables. Lame, but my HDMI is already ordered and on the way to my house. I didn't see any 120 GB model at my store. They were all in the back room though. "

" When you got to tarde it in, did they let you transfer the content from your old hard drive? If not, how did you go about to doing that? "

I transfered everything that I couldn't redownload (like game saves) onto a flash drive. Kinda sucks because I have to do another license transfer to the new console. Except I cant do it without calling tech support and complaining because the licenses were recently transfered to my old repaired console and you can only transfer once per year. "

 Does it keep hot things hot and cold things cold?

" @JJWeatherman:  When you traded in your old Xbox, did you have to trade in the whole package - i.e. did you put the system in the box with all the cables and such? I just want to know if I have to trade in the HDMI cable I got when I bought my Elite.One more question: did you trade in two controllers or just one? I have two controllers but I only use one because the other one is kind of crappy. I was thinking that I could keep my original controller (the one I got with the system and which is my primary one) and trade in the crappy one. "

Wait, it doesn't come with the composite/component (RYW/RGB) dual cords like the original 360s?!  I thought that they said it did on that unboxing video on Giant Bomb...  Also, have you noticed any improved load times for the NXE stuff, like Game Library, Profile, Achievements Screens, Game Marketplace, etc etc.?  The Game Library is my major concern, as I have a LOT of arcade games... "

" Is it still working? "

"  Does it keep hot things hot and cold things cold? "

" @JJWeatherman: What do you mean "license transfer"?  I've taken my Xbox Live profile to other Xbox consoles and downloaded DLC and such with no issue before.  Hell, we've done it at work with over 40 Xbox consoles and never needed some kind of "license transfer". "

 We'd be trading in our hard drive in order to get this new 360, which could prove problematic in trying to use a transfer kit...  

How far do you think you can throw it?

What all did you sell to reduce the price to $65?

I have 3 dogs in my household.  I like Pokemon.  Is the new 360 for me?
