Xbox 360 Slim 250GB review
I took the leap, fucked around and got the Xbox 360 “slim” 250GB . I already had the Xbox 360 Pro 60GB for about two years and even though I didn’t need to upgrade I felt it was time. The wireless controller was fucked and I had 300 something bucks burning a hole in my pocket. You, may ask why I didn’t get the PS3 and I would answer, there’s no games for the PS3.
There she is, in all her glory. The first thing i noticed was this xbox 360 weighed about the same as the old one. The box was smaller though and the packing was some futuristic shit, I thought I was in the year 2030. Here’s a flick.
Alright it wasn’t all that, but the black bumpers was a change from the pervious model. Enough about that here’s the dirt on the Xbox 360 Slim 250GB:
There’s talk that the power brick is huge. It’s no bigger than the last model, matter fact I think it’s smaller. The hook up is simple and a breeze. I use a HDMI cable and once i disconneted the old one, i was in business. The console is black and shiny, the controller is black and dull. You have a choice of placing the console horizontally or vertically. I went the horizontal, only because my tv stand is not high enough to place is vertically. ‘They’ meaning Microsoft, advises you NOT to move the console while the disc is spinning (no shit…) so if you find you rather have it vertically then turn power off, remove disc and move upright, or vice versa.
The hard drive is right of the power button towards the back, be sure you to push the hard drive in before you turn on the game. Yes, I did not do this step and was wondering why it said ‘profile’ isn’t found. The rumor is you can buy transfer cables to transfer your old stuff to the new console, I personally, just step up a whole new profile. There’s two USB ports up front, I plus when you have the recharger back and use to hate that the cord when to the back.
The console is some what quieter than the old one. Not much a difference if you ask me, it still makes a sound. One thing I do hate but understand why is why not included a recharger pack. I know they make money on accessories and the markup is not great on consoles. I used my old white charger pack, I’m not a pansy so it doesn’t matter to me to be mismatch.
In closing I highly recommend Xbox 360 “slim” 250GB , even if you have an old Xbox 360. The power brick is smaller, so I’m sure it produces less heat, it’s shiny and black, I mean if you have chicks coming over they will love it. Why do think the Wii went Black
?
HERE’s an update:
after playing Xbox 360 “slim” 250GB for a few days now at an average of 2 hours per day. I must say it is MUCH quieter than the old model. Another thing I forgot to mention is the power and eject button is motion sensitive. meaning you it’s sensitive to your touch, matter fact you just barely place your finger and it respond. it’s cool.
