  1. 1. Are you getting the new Xbox 360



Recommended Posts

Expected price?

$299, same as the current Elite though the old design 360's out now will get a price cut so MS can clear out stock. I won't rush to buy one, being in the EU I have to wait till July anyways, but I might go ahead and do it, I want the bigger HDD as well, also I can give my current one to my sister since she wants to play some RPGs.

Still not up on Amazon, but it's on Game and Gamestation in the UK. I'll probably get one of these within the next month or two. Any good new game suggestions? I currently have a copy of both Halo 3 and Forza 2 hanging around.

P.S. Don't suggest Dead Space ;)

Taking a quick look at the current top sellers looks like DiRT 2, Split/Second or Blur will be my choice.

Don't move it when the disk is in motion. :p

LOL...what a dolt. I love how they did it in slow motion too. I guess they never learn...the PS2, Xbox and original Xbox 360 all did that when moving it while playing....as does every PC tower without slot loading. Derrr!

They have a big lable on the front that says specifically "do not move when disc is inside" or something to that extent. Guess warning labels don't mean much anymore, just like manuals. :laugh:

I'm on the fence. I've been waiting for this announcement to buy a 2nd xbox, but since it has a new HDD format, how can I play my saved games on both systems?

Copy your saves onto a USB flash drive? I think that's what the latest dashboard update added anyway.

Either use a transfer kit to move them to the Slim or just copy the save games to a flash stick.

Yep. They are also making the transfer kit available to retail (not sure when) so if you don't already have one it'll be easy to acquire :) which is handy for me since my 360 is dead, so can't exactly transfer my data to a USB pen drive :p

I'd love to get it but since I'm still out of work and my current Elite still works great I'm going to have to pass on it. Now if my Elite breaks and its out of its RRoD warranty(which runs up this September) I'll probably get one of these new ones.

    • finally [Taskbar] Taskbar customization just got easier. As we continue to make improvements to the Taskbar experience mentioned last month, we've introduced a dedicated Taskbar Size setting, making it simpler to find, understand, and personalize your ideal taskbar experience.
    • Let me get this straight... It was a web interface for Gmail, so if privacy at Google wasn't concerning enough you'd be going through two companies. And their big feature was the very thing that would make people consider dumping Gmail.
    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
