The New Xbox 360 Review

It's sleek, it's black, it's got Wi-Fi and a 250 GB hard drive. Jessica Chobot and Kevin Pereira review the new Xbox 360 Slim that debuted at E3 2010 for $300.

What You Need to Know

• The original is about 1’ across, while the Slim is almost 2” shorter
• It's also about .5” thinner
• There are five USB ports (two on the front, three on the back) which is two more than the Elite has
• There's also a removable 250 GB hard drive, but it's not interchangeable with older Xbox 360's
• You can transfer your old Xbox 360’s data with a USB stick or the $20 transfer cable
• There's also built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi
• Configuring it is really easy and just like you'd expect it to be
• We streamed a lot of Netflix in HD and it looked great
• One thing of note, loading times are just a few seconds faster on the new Xbox 360
• It's also been reported that the new Xbox 360 will turn itself off before it overheats and hopefully that means it won't die completely
• You probably shouldn’t replace your current Xbox 360, but this is definitely the one you should buy if you don't have one

Price

• This is now the most expensive Xbox 360 you can buy at $300 bucks; the Elite is $250, and the Arcade is $150
• With all of the included features, it's the best deal on an Xbox 360 you can get
