“360 Rocks !!!” 2010-06-20

The new 360 is really awesome, very sleek looking, ordering today. Love the wireless & 250 HDD included. XBL is FAR superior to psn & the 360 has a much much larger, more diverse, & better library of games.
Cant wait to get Kinect either, HaLo ReAcH, & Gears of War 3 are the way !!!

This is a great redesign, i bought mine on friday and its a beauty.
It runs smooth and makes almost no noise. 250gb and now built in wifi N makes this a fantastic deal.

I just upgraded my original 360 to this new one yesterday and I’m really liking it. Like the specs say, it really does run whisper quiet. I was a little disappointed in the AV cable though since it’s only for Standard Definition tv setup for the price I paid on it, but I’m still happy with my system. Another difference with this console is that the warranty is only 1 year compared to the 3 year for the original 360 console which, if your warranty is still active on your current console, you probably can hold off on upgrading your system until something like the Kinect is released. I’m also excited on the 250GB hard drive, which provides more than enough space for movie, tv show, music, and video game storage.
Note: I’m sorry if any information may have been repeated, but I thought it would be a good idea to write a review for this product since I actually own it, which is more than I can say for many of these product reviews (ie. the 1 star nay-sayers).

After a little worry about reliability, I took the plunge Yesterday 6/18/2010. I had read horror stories about heat and DOA units. I’m proud and happy to say I had niether problem with my Shiney new 360S. From the fine styling, to the 3 extra USB ports and the much needed dedicated Optical out (that’s right not funny dongle thingy). This console screams quality. I like the fact that it also has a dedicated Kinect port which means you won’t need and extra outlet for Kinect when it comes out, like any older 360.
I tested the 360S all day and most of the evening so I could report with some degree of certainity that it runs as quiet, and smoothly as it does. The reported heat problems/??? I don’t know, I think its overblown. It might also be people who don’t even have it yet or will never have it. there are a lot of very silly people reporting some untrue things. That’s all I will say. Yes it gets warm, but no warmer than any other piece of eletronics used for hours at a time. WARM not HOT big difference. Now I have to say this, I’m not placing it inside any type of cabinet or enclosed space, so maybe that makes a difference, but I think any item you would use in that way would get hotter. Now on to to how amazingly quiet it is, I had to put my ear right next to it to hear anything, even then. I so love that compared to my old refurb launch twice replaced unit. My Wii now makes more noise than either my PS3 Slim or my 360S.
The controller is pretty much the same, but somehow I felt it was slightly more accurate, it might be my imagination. There are few things I don’t like, I’m using a USB stick for my gamer tag so I can use it between my two 360′s the problem with the back USB ports is they are recessed so a slide out type USB stick won’t fit the recess. A minor quibble as you can use the two front ports no problem. The other thing I don’t like, the DVD tray beeps when you open and close it. No big deal I just don’t like it.
Overall though this is a class a system and it is what it should have been from the beggining. I have not tried Wifi wireless N yet, I find wired connection is better in every case. But I will try and add to this review later on when I do try it. I can say as a gamer for many years, over 30. If your thinking about picking one of these up, do not hesitate. It’s the best console for gaming no doubts in my mind. We will see on reliability in few years I guess. It seems pretty solid as of now.
