• Xbox 360 S - Unboxing
    111 replies, posted
So the new Xbox 360 came in the mail today, I thought I'd share the unboxing. After my old Xbox died, I thought I'd try the new one out. Love it so far. I love the 250 GB hard drive and how quiet it runs, even with a disc in the drive. The "buttons" aren't actual push buttons, they're those capacitive touch buttons like on the older PS3's. The wireless is a huge plus too.

Atleast you know it can't fail, it cant get a RroD! [sp] because they removed the lights so you cant tell[/sp] :suicide: Although I wont ruin it for you, getting a new toy like that feels great.
Instead the middle light turns on, and the console shuts off. I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to turn the console back on when the middle red light is on. :eng101:
It doesn't come with a HDMI cord? what bullshit, I think I'll keep my 360 elite for the time being.

$5 HDMI cables are pieces of shit, $100+ is where the "quality" is at.

Even the Elites lost their included HDMI cables a few months ago. The fact that this one doesn't have a cable either is no surprise to me.

It's the same thing with a bigger hard drive for no reason. I've had my 80GB PS3 for almost four years and I still have over 60GB free. [editline]03:15AM[/editline] Don't even know about my Xbox 360 because it died two years after I got it and I never bothered sending it in.

This is a much better product than the old 360. *ahem* PS3 F4NBO1 I do give the PS3 a better controller design, and there are some great exclusives, but you're still missing out on some great Xbox exclusives.
[QUOTE=4rawrs2;22894632]I see you have no games for your PS3. This is a much better product than the old 360. *ahem* PS3 F4NBO1[/QUOTE] Yeah I actually own about 30 or so games for it. And no, it's not a much better product. You're still playing the same games with the same controller, but the catch is that it costs a premium. [editline]03:22AM[/editline] Name some Xbox exclusives I'm missing, and I actually like the feel of the Xbox 360 controller more. If I could I would use it with my PS3.

I didn't start the console war. [editline]03:28AM[/editline] If you thought I was comparing the PS3 when I said it wasn't the same console I was talking about the X360 Slim and the original X360.

[QUOTE=4rawrs2;22894770]What. Also yes you did, nobody else said anything about PS3. [/QUOTE] Just because he mentioned PS3 doesn't mean it's a war. It takes 2+ to start a war. The fact you came back to his mentioning of was the beginning of the war.

[QUOTE=Wipmuck;22894494]$5 HDMI cables are pieces of shit, $100+ is where the "quality" is at.[/QUOTE] it's a digital signal, None of that $100 bullshit won't give a quality change, not even your precious gold plating.

----------------STOP------------------------ Now, lets continue with where this thread was for.
I want one :(
True, I am currently using the Xbox 360 Arcade, but i don't see the problem? I am getting a cheap 120GB hard drive, I already have the MSN messenger kit, now why would the Elite be a better choice? (I understand that the Slim would be a better choice)
