360 Slim?

[TaraJayne]

Wow, that's enough black accessories to keep TJ happy...

I just said to my boyfriend "finally a black chat pad and headset" then read your quote I must be so predictable

Has anyone else noticed that the old 360 looked like a Dell Desktop, now the new 360 kind of looks like an Alienware Desktop?

That's the first thing my boyfriend said GEEKS UNITE!

Didn't take long, no doubt only a small percentage of the consoles will have problems, but still cause for concern.

I've been seeing some reports of people experiencing a 'white dot pattern' video issue with the new 360 Slim model.  Again, something that is probably a very small fraction of a %, but still something Microsoft should be worried about.

I'll probably wait until the $199 model releases later this year, or for some kind of value bundle.  Hopefully by then these issued will be resolved.

Until then, my Modern Warfare 2 console is doing just fine.

Microsoft Responds To 360 Red Dot Claims

Microsoft has responded to claims that the latest iteration of the Xbox 360 is prone to overheating, resulting in the so-called 'red dot of death'

Various reports have suggested that the new Xbox 360, unveiled at E3 and released in the US last week, is prone to overheating, resulting in an error screen.

"We couldn't be more proud of the consoles we are building now"

When asked about this specific issue, in an email to NowGamer, the console manufacturer said: "We couldn't be more proud of the consoles we are building now, as well as the new Xbox 360. This console is the culmination of years of continuous innovation in design, testing and learning. Today we are confident we are shipping a high quality product."

The new Xbox 360 is due to hit Europe on July 16.


So they respond by not mentioning the problem at all, awesome!!!

The New 360 Torn Apart

[DFUSIONITE]

annoyingly my super elite freezes when i am ending a game starting a game or leaving a session.It's happened four times already and i've only had it a few weeks. Lets hope the new one doesn't do the same, it's about time they brought a console out that doesn't freeze or overheat all the bloody time!

[Legion]

I find myself wanting to get one of these just because i can. Never mind that my pro from 2 years ago and my current elite have never had any problems (I only got rid of the pro because I needed the money) so I don't even need to replace yet. But it looks really pretty in comparison to the 'fat' Xbox. The only thing I'lll have a problem with if I do ever give in to temptation and buy one is that it's a glossy finish, and not a matte finish. This is bound to drive me insane with fingerprints and smudges and all kinds of sh*t. >:C

Buy some cotton butler gloves and only ever use them to 'touch' it.

Now that Mrs. Fuzz is on board, maybe she would care to comment on Mr. Fuzz's inflated self image?

There has been a 'significant sales spike' for Xbox 360 following the release of the new slim model and price cuts to older models.
Xbox 360 sales have seen 'a significant spike' since mid-June, says Microsoft.

"...We are hearing great feedback from retailers that the new Xbox 360 250GB is experiencing unprecedented demand," the company said in a statement.

"Strong demand for the new Xbox 360 250GB combined with a $50 price reduction in the US on the Xbox 360 Arcade and Elite consoles, now US$149.99 and US$249.99 respectively, has resulted in a significant sales spike for Xbox 360 since the new console hit shelves on or around June 14."

the new 360s is sexy and sex sells

[Legion]

Yeah it doesn't come as much of a surprise. Sales will decline again within the next few weeks I reckon, until Christmas at least. Still, this just means more people on XBL to harass and destroy
