Xbox 360 review for the casual gamer September 9, 2010
Steven Wong (New Jersey)
(Just to clear things up, I've been gaming since the genesis days, I've owned dreamcast, gamecube, ps1, ps2, ps3, xbox, and xbox 360. I'm not biased towards a game console)
My first xbox 360 lasted a year and a half then RROD'd (red ring of death, in other words, it died) So I replaced it with the new slim 250GB model...
Pros:
- It's slimmer than the original 360, even the power brick too
- built in wireless eliminates the need for a wireless adapter
- numerous reviews claim it operates at a much cooler temperature, reduced the overheating problem the original model had
- you get a free month of Xbox Live with your purchase
- you can transfer data from the original xbox 360 model to the new slim model
Cons:
- Does not come with HD cables included
- It's still very loud
- yes, it attracts dust and finger prints, not a big deal for casual gamers like me
- the included headset still looks and feels like a piece of junk
Conclusion:
If you are scared your xbox 360 will overheat, buy this model instead of the original model. It's slimmer, but not by much. It's main selling points are the 250GB, built in wireless, and cooler operating temperature.
 Great September 7, 2010

Love it, especially the Windows Media Center integration so I can share all of my DVR'd TV and Movies from my PC. After the original Xbox shut down I switched to PC Gaming - and now that this is the best edition since launch I am glad to own it again. Enough so, that I even bought all the games I had already bought on Steam like BC2 and MW2. The original controller's left top button broke on me (the spring) but that's my own fault. Really great unit. I keep it in a hot brick university dorm in a small wooden hutch and I haven't had it overheat once, or cause a system error.
Solid Slim System September 7, 2010

The new Xbox360 Slim offers value that previous bundles never reached. The built in Wi-fi 802.11n is a welcomed addition along with the new 250 gb hdd. Best of all, the price remains only 299. I am happy with my purchase
A long time coming, but this one hits the bullseye. September 7, 2010

Prior to giving this review, I think that I should probably give a heads up to the fact that I much prefer the online experience and game play of the 360 over the PS3. I suppose it is sad that I should have to begin with a disclaimer, but I thought it wise to make those feelings known initially, therefore saving me the wrath of some Sony fan boy. Now that we are all on the same page, I will begin...
It is my earnest belief that this is what should have been done with the 360 within a year of its initial launch, but I suppose it is better to eventually arrive at a winning formula than to never arrive at it. Several key changes make this 360 a home run. The built in WiFi is fantastic, and after testing it in 5 rooms of my parents house with non-existent lag, I am confident I will have no problems with signal.
I am not the type of person that really cares about the looks of a console, but I gotta say that it does look really sharp with the new design sitting on my entertainment center. Just as before, I would still not recommend using a vertical box configuration. One wayward dog is all it takes to ruin your afternoon (trust me). RROD problems are becoming very much a thing of the past from 360, but I suppose time will tell on that issue.
When they say "whisper quiet" they certainly mean what they say. Its like a public library under the 3rd Reich. I am sure that I was not alone in my level of annoyance about the persistent "hummmmmmm" coming out of the elites. I am very glad Microsoft has gotten this problem under control to my level of satisfaction.
Some technical things as far as hardware you will notice is 5 (as opposed to 3) USB ports, and the Kinet port is dedicated if you are into that sort of thing (I personally am not). The control is essentially the same with only minor, cosmetic changes.
I am likely forgetting some things, but I can always edit later. To summarize, this is indeed the Ferrari of 360 world, and I am glad I was able to purchase one.
Happy gaming everyone.

Great console--built-in wifi, large amount of storage, and so far, no overheating or "red ring" issues.
