New Xbox 360

[Bones4]

• Touch sensitive on/off and eject buttons with touch and audio feedback (like the PS3)
• "Much quieter"
• 250GB internal hard drive, which is still swappable.
• A custom Kinect port (not a standard USB port—it's a USB port that can feed more power)
• There are five USB ports now, with three in the back and two in the front
• AV cable included, an HDMI and optical audio
• Different power supply—it's still big but nearly weightless
• External Xbox 360 hard drives and memory units are NOT compatible with the new Xbox
• Other accessories are
• Internal components that are changed: two small fans changed into one large fan for quieter operation, 45nm integrated CPU and GPU

The controller is slightly changed, with a chrome Xbox button, the Xbox logo on the back, and squared off shoulder buttons, which don't change gameplay but give it a more angular aesthetic feel. The angularity is also evident in the Xbox 360 itself, which Microsoft said that they updated to match the look of modern AV equipment, which are usually black and glossy and chrome.

Anyway, as the second part of my post, I have a question:

Do you think it would be worth it to trade in my system, hard drive, and three controllers to get the new console at $80? I have four controllers and will have two again when I get the new package. I only need two. Other than that, there's no loss. I'm currently using a 20GB hard drive from 2005. It's almost full with game content alone. The 250GB hard drive appeals to me. I have a lot of music and download avidly.

I want it. Should I do et fgt?

The only real variable I can see with this is how interested you are in Kinect.

this kind of makes we want to get an xbox.
but i should probably wait since all 3 major consoles are going to do the same

I'm calling it now. That will soon be bannable.

There's no thread about this yet and I also posted it as a question. This has nothing to do with how new it is.

forget you.

What microsoft forgot is that modern A/V equipment isn't shaped so awkwardly.  But the PS3 is the winner of awkward there.  The round top is just odd.  And doesn't the new hard drive use a new proprietary case?

If you already have a 360, I would say not to get the new one. Main reasons:

• Fans are quieter, DVD drive isn't
• Rips off the PS3 with glossy black case with touch buttons
• Fingerprint magnet
• They "fixed" the Red Ring of Death by removing the red LEDs, so if it does red ring, it just won't do anything.

If anything, get a 250 GB hard drive for the thing, or use an external hard drive or something.
If you really want the new controller, just get one in a store.

Basically put:

No. Use an external 250 GB/500 GB USB hard drive.

External memory cannot exceed 16 gb  (Or is it higher) for xbox storage.

Meh
Bells and whistles
Nothing HOLY loving stuff about it

Funny. I've used a 320 GB USB hard drive on my 360 just fine.

Wait, nevermind, I got my hard drives mixed up. I've used a 40 GB hard drive before, but I know that some external drives won't work, due to driver issues.

From what I've read, this one will work.

I believe you have to format it differently.

The 360 will ask you to format it, yes. But, I updated my post above.
