I bought this for my wife who uses an exercise program. I searched for games that I would like to play but have yet to find any. It is a full featured console and it is easy to use or figure out how to use. I do not like the shape as it makes it difficult to add into a storage console unit, home entertainment center etc. But default it video records you which took us by surprise. The tray open button needs to be redesigned and moved to a different location. It is too easy to touch and it is very sensitive. It is quite when runnning and does not appear to get too hot. Overall I believe that the next generation or two might make it unbeatable if Microsoft would only listen to the feedback.
Every thing has gone well love that the games can be used for kinect i love it and my son love it it hard to find a deal that use can play games and use what u bought it for like with the kinect thank u and God bless yall Good deal.....
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I have owned numerous xbox 360's since they came out. I Started with the original 20 gig, and after having some issues with some accessories with it (the intercooler i bought literally melted into the back of my 360) so i upgraded to the Elite. I loved the console, and never once had an issue with it. but there were always some negative things about it, including the noise, the size of the power brick, and how hot the games would get at times while playing. I only bought this at midnight but I can say its great so far, and you save 50 bucks by getting this bundle. What i love so far: - love the new look. my elite was black, but the console was bulky. the new one has a sleek design and is more compact. - The touch sensitive buttons are cool, you don't even have to press. - The power brick is much smaller, and leaves way more room. - The xbox is much more quiet - 3 USB hookups is great - 250 gig hard drive is all i will ever need. - The kinect is just amazing. works extremely well, recognized my every movement and voice command. the is definitely next gen gaming. Its just awesome. already used video chat, and the camera actually follows you around, whether you go up or down or anywhere. i cannot wait to use it moreRead full review
This review is to focus on the differences that are not on a "standard" XBOX 360 Arcade and the "former" Elite, and rate the system as a new purchase, not an upgrade or replacement to your current XBOX 360, but overall. When the XBOX Slim was first announced @ E3 2010, this was the most significant upgrade to the XBOX 360 platform since the update of the Elite. With an initial release price tag of $299 – the new Slim model includes many updates that may entice a buyer to upgrade, or choose this model over the previous model. These items include: • HDMI and optical audio output • 250GB internal hard drive • Integrated wireless adapter with N wireless capability • Kinect Ready (Microsoft Motion Hardware) • Slimmer model with lower power consumption • Sleek black body housing with touch sensitive DVD and Power “buttons” • 5 USB ports Almost everything about the classic Xbox 360 in white has changed with the announcement of the Slim: It runs cooler, quieter, and shiny, sexy new black. The increased venting on the side of the XBOX and the one larger fan make this thing run cool. This thing won't "red ring" because the XBOX now has an automatic shutoff to prevent overheating. The bad things that have changed are that the XBOX Slim does not come with a component cable (standard AV only), no Ethernet cable, no real extras – just bare bones. There is a new 45-nanometer (Valhalla) chip designed with integrated CPU and GPU. The redesigned chip improves energy consumption by as much as half from the originally released XBOX, and this is the reason it makes it run quieter, and it decreases the size. In terms of processing power, there isn’t much difference. Also, this console will of course be backwards compatible with all existing Xbox 360 titles, but one thing missing is a slot for the memory cards that were specific to the original 360s. However, you can use your USB drive to transfer data or take your profile with you on the go. Don't let the black slick body distract you; the only thing you need to ask is if it improves the performance quality - and after many reviews and hours using this machine, the answer is YES. This thing is so quiet, and slick, that the form factor and performance make it worth the money. Compared to the Arcade or the XBOX Elite's noise level – you will notice the lack of sound when you power this thing on. The 250GB hard drive upgrade is nice for all that downloadable content that you have been picking up on the market place. Should you buy it? Guys like me who are gamers and video geeks? Ya, this is for you. The fact that all that video and audio is being piped through a HDMI/optical output is a bonus, that the wireless (with N) is integrated, and the increased hard drive space, not to mention Kinect Ready – this is a significant upgrade. Also, this is so much cooler and quieter, that alone makes it worth the upgrade. Final Verdict: BUY IT Pros: • Same price as the previous Elite Model, but with a 250GB Hard Drive • Sleek design and styling • Smaller, cooler operation than the original • It is significantly quieter • Built in WiFi (with N) Cons: • Hard Drive change can make it difficult to take your content with you • Odd way to remove the hard drive (could potentially cause problems) • No HD (HDMI or Component) cables without additional purchase • No Blu-ray player • The fancy shine is easily smudged with fingerprintsRead full review
Pros: Quiet Plays nice Decently cheap for a new xbox system Size is very small, can fit inside of the old xbox. Wish it came with the gloss black instead of the flat black. Cons: The only dig that I have on the xbox is that the wireless sucks. I couldn't keep the signal. So I hooked up my old antenna and used that. Works great now!!! Summary: Good machine if you are getting it for the wireless forget it. The buttons on the system are really cool. If something breaks it would be hard to fix. It is nice because if you have an old hard dive it is easy to convert it and put it into the slim. Overall if you are looking for quiet and nice looking buy it. Other than that don't. The older versions suffice just fine. Sleek design, quiet operation, wi-fi, HD compatibility, extra usb ports.
