I wonder if the system can lay flat...it almost looks as if it can't. I don't have the room to stand it up!

didn't see this answered here, but what about the license transfers? I'm sure there are others besides myself who have purchased new/ replacement 360s within the past year who would like to get this latest model. Sure you can move your content over no problem, but you ca only transfer licenses once every 12 months.

The only way around the 12 month restriction is if you have your console repaired, they swap it out and forget to do the license transfer. Otherwise, you're up the creek.

The link to the unboxing video was posted before, but it hasn't been embedded yet. Everyone who has questions about it should probably watch it first:

Added the embedded video. Thanks Cao Cao


Also; Yes it can lie flat

Yes it has feet to lay flat.

Unless Gamestop has some compelling trade-in deal and I can swing it, this is a no go for me. I havea 120GB and 512MB yada yada..that is now essentially worthless with the new console.

thanks, shrike. That's what I figured. Hmmm...I wonder if they'll let me hook the new 360 up in-store so I can move my data over

I'm about to post links to all the trailers available on xbox LIVE in the Marketplace Thread.

Damn, this thing looks nice and the built in wifi is a god send, only years after the PS3 though. I have to find a way to get one of these.

I already have 2 god damn xboxes already....what would I look like with 3? Trading in a console is always pointless as you get 1/3 of the price you pay for it. I wonder if I could Ebay or Clist each for 150?

Blah......

Giant Bomb's unboxing is also interesting to watch. It's a different guy presenting, so there are a few more bits of information, along with a short Q&A between the Presenter and Jeff, Brad, and some British guy.

not worth it..going up in price on a system that's 5 years old is stupid. MS could've easily thrown us a bone and sold this at $200. That would've been a killer.

How is this going up in price? 250GB systems retail for $400, and that's without wireless networking.

I still think Dance Central might help someone get lucky

I think Dance Central might actually be good. I know not everyone likes dancing games, but I loved Dance Dance Revolution back in the PSOne/PS2 days.

What is a bit odd to me is that MS would continue to produce Arcades & Elites through to next year. Why not stop making them and also sell the Slim60 without an HDD for $200?

Did MGS 4 have that same hack n slash game play with absolutely no stealth? Color me doubly disappointed then. Haven't gotten to it yet, in my backlog. If I remember MGS 2 correctly Raiden had to use stealth.

Thought I read about this being rrod proof in this thread and I just read about it in the deals thread for the slim model. Where are poeple getting that it is rrod proof?

It's RROD proof in the sense that they removed the red lights. Also, it's only got a 1-year warranty.

So it will just fail and you wont know why now. Also didn't the 360 have a 1 year warranty when it first came out and they made it 3 for the rrod and the e74 a year or so later. I wonder how long this new slim hardware got tested.
