Announced earlier this week at the Microsoft press briefing, the new "slim" Xbox 360 made quite an impression. Is this a must have device or just another wasted effort by Microsoft to separate you from your hard earned cash? Watch the below video with PGR's Phoenix, and judge for yourself. Remember to hit up the comments section and let us know what you think.

No HD Componet Cables? Good thing I have HDMI. But, thats gonna make some people very unhappy.

When they say it's ready for Kinect does that actually mean anything in that the new system is different from the previous model?

If you don't have this new 360, you will need two power outlets ... one for Kinnect and one for your 360.

With the 360 slim, only one power outlet is needed b/c Kinnect plugs into the 360 which plugs into the wall

I found out the old system component cables will work if you do not have a HDMI cable,

How much quieter is this than my launch 360? Also is there any other way to transfer data without hunting down a transfer cord? I would prefer to not drop ant more than I have to on one of these.

Excellent unboxing. That's a Sweeeeet lookin' machine. The touch sensitive eject & power buttons are a nice touch. More USB ports are a MUCH needed improvement.

It's only a matter of time before all my 360's red ring.....I almost have to say I'm looking forward to it. lol

What a piece of GARBAGE! And note his PS3 comparisons! Eject and power touch buttons, and shiny, JUST like PS3. I dare anyone to tell me that their NOT trying to rip off Sony...especially when their also calling it a slim.

All companys rip each other off! And note they aren't calling it the "slim" fans are calling it that, nowhere online has Microsoft stated this is the "slim" model and Sony hasn't come out and called the PS3 a "slim" either. But this device isn't for everyeone, for me it's perfect.

@ Mishra,

* PS3's are no longer shiny
* PS3's no longer use touch button technology for power & eject
* PS3's offers less USB ports on their slim

So I ask you Mishra, how can you say Microsoft "ripped off" Sony, when I can't even go into a store & buy a PS3 with ANY of these features?

The reason PS3's don't have those features anymore is probably because they found out Microsoft was going to copy all those features from them.

1. PS3's were shiny, just because their not anymore doesn't mean anything. Dust was probably too noticeable on a shiny finish, so went to matte.
2. Why do you think the PS3's don't have the touch buttons? Microsoft will realize that same reason soon enough.
3. And what does the number of USB's have to do with anything? How much garbage do you need plugged into a machine at one time?

How about I ask you why you waited so long to get a PS3? I got one before they went slim, so still have ALL those features on mine...so that's your loss. Mine is shiny, touch button, more than enough usb's, AND has backwards compatibility, so when Microsoft finally copies that from their competitors, I'll probably have lost ALL respect for them.

Well every company copies another company and you got your PS3 when they launched at the time for him maybe he didn't see it worth getting at the time. So lets stop the attacks. Both are great systems and everyone has their choice of favorites and that doesn't make anyone high and mighty or low life for their choice.
