Microsoft Announces the all new Xbox 360

[Knife Party]

no moneyz :(

[Phixion]

Yep, I'll be in Asda/Tesco the night of release to bag me one :)

[LingeringSoul]

Once my current 360 kicks the bucket and I can't get a warranty repair, I'll pick one of these up. Until then, I recently purchased a 250 GB drive for my current system (please spare me the "you wasted your money" speech today), and so I feel the need to justify that purchase and not take the plunge right away.

I asked the gamestop sales guys, I can trade in my 360 with 20 gig drive and ps3 40 gig for the new 360s.

Does not sound like a good deal :/

Anyway new xbox looks great!

[Neo003]

I know but they're just sitting there, and I really don't want to deal with the whole ebay thing.

Here's some more info on the new 360.

Overall it's around 17% smaller and uses 15watts less than the newest "older" design.

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

I sell my stuff on play.com, I do not like ebay :laugh: and play.com is a lot more user friendly.

Deffinatly picking up one when they launch down under, im really over my 360 and the noises the DVDs and streaming makes when the misses is trying to sleep when she has work at 4am every day. Its honestly like having a car running inside the bedroom even as an xbox fan its getting to the point of unbearable noise at night time.

I'd ebay it for those prices. :/

[Massiveterra]

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

Well, if you use a transfer kit, it automatically erases the previous hard drive.

So let's say I'm using the "new" 360. Can I easily transfer saved games from the internal new HDD to a stick and play it on my other system?

[evoman91]

I've got one on pre order!

Yeah, using a USB stick should work both ways with save files. Actually, you can just keep the save files on the USB stick instead of moving them between systems if you want.

[Grex]

I will definitely getting the new one. wont be on the first day it comes out but will get one eventually. Want to first get a new receiver first that can switch and upconvert to HDMI. My current 360 is first gen and does not have an hdmi port on it.

[Sulphy]

looks good in my opinion...! i wouldnt mind one....!

[Neowinian]

I think these are going to go quick so pre-order it while you can.

[Ironman273]

SO can I transfer my hard drive at Gamestop if I trade in my old one? That seems a little strange.

[Neowinian]

I'd ebay it for those prices. :/

I bet there will be many fakes on ebay.

[Crisp]

Does this 360 feature a gigabit ethernet port? Or is it still 100 based?

[Neo003]

I'd ebay it for those prices.

If you can eBay it for those prices then why not just exchange them with GameStop and get done with it. I mean really I find packing and shipping a real hassle especially with electronics.

Heck yeah! Doing that as soon as they're available.

Anyone here ever trade in a dead 360 with Gamestop? I've got one sitting here in my office atm and if it gets me an extra $40 or so, my 360 trade will see nearly no extra cost.

[Emn1ty]

I'm just not sure if it is worth it for me to trade in 9 games, four controllers a system and two hardrives to get it. I would be getting it for free but I'd be out 9 damn games. Not to mention the new HDD format means that any of my friends with old 360's won't be an option for me to "borrow". A little annoyed they didn't keep the same HDD enclosure but am glad it is so much smaller.

[Ayepecks]

Those actually aren't too bad deals.

I could trade in...

- My old console ($100)

- Wireless adapter ($40)

- Extra wireless controller ($25)

- Memory card... I think 512MB ($18)

- 120GB HD ($40)

I wonder if they'd let me transfer all my HD stuff, though... if not, I'd probably keep the hard drive and trade it in after if I can do that. Also: do they require original boxes?

[Razorwing]

I hope Canada gets this deal as well.. or I'll be all over it.
