Am I the only one who thinks the 360 power supply looks good with their setup?

I wish they had asked if you would be able to lie it down vertically. It didn't seem like there was any padding for that to be a possibility. Still, it would have been nice to get a definitive answer.

I love the fact that he says the RROD is a problem of the past when GB had one last week.

Say... the new Hard Drive looks a lot like the 360 Hard Drive - will it be easier for you to upgrade your hard drive with something other than the official Microsoft Hard Drives. Say, to a 1TB hard drive?

Was it just me or was the question asked by that British guy kind of a ass hole question? Why even bother asking a stupid question like that...

HOT.  But I think I'll be picking up a PS3 before buying a second 360.  Unless Gamestop has some sort of trade-in offer... hmm....

If my 360 bits the dust again I'll probably get this one instead of getting it repaired.

Kind of a piss off that MS failed to provide a decent working product to all the people that paid the most but now they've essentially put the development time in to put out a piece of hardware that isn't a flaming piece of shit (mind you, this is the time they should have put in in the first place.)

"This will be the quietest thing in your entertainmentcenter" 
 
A pretty bold claim... 
However, since I figure he current 360 is the *most* noisy thing in people's entertainmentcenters, I think people will settle for it just being quieter.

I really want one of these now. Not only is it quieter, smaller, wi-fi enabled and comes with a huge hard drive but they even fixed that stupid power cord.

Well, it's kinda his job. What, did you expect him to say, "Duuuuude this shiny black color looks sick!!!"?

I want one. I don't know why, I should be skeptical, but the 360 slim looks sexy. 
 
Not sure if I want to wish that my console would die out on me now though. =/

Great footage. It looks better than I thought. I'd save up some extra cash in case my current 360 goes belly up.

I was a bit worried about the new look before but after seeing this video I'm warming up to it and if my 360 runs out of warranty and dies I will definately pick this one up.

 Lol I find it hilarious how far the new 360 has gone in the direction of the PS3
 

  • high gloss finish
  • capacitive touch buttons
  • built in wifi and hard drive
  • quieter without overheating problems
 
"We've obviously refined the Xbox logo to make it look a bit more premium" 
That's very telling to me. Seems like that was their philosophy behind this, to make the 360 seem like a high class item rather than something cheap. 

It looks a lot better than it does in that leaked picture that's for sure. Far less like a crappy gamer PC. It really sucks that the hard drive is still proprietary though...

That's the one PS3 feature they still need in there.
