The Xbox 360 Slim unboxed

Posted Jun 15, 2010 at 12:05PM EST by Glenn M.

Need yourself a closer look at the Xbox 360's new look? Fortunately, the guys at Engadget got themselves one and opened it up for everyone to see.

Engadget hasn't compared the physical specs with the existing 360, but based from first impressions, the unit is just about as heavy as the old 360, but the power adapter is smaller and much lighter. The console itself didn't appear to be making much noise, and the disc tray pops out faster than the original.

The rest, well, you can see for yourself.

Thanks Jetfire007!

You would be surprised, I work nintendo customer service and there are ton's of ppl who just bought the black wii, cuz it's black.

For those wondering why they did this, I am wondering why they didn't do it sooner(sony and ninty do it all the time)....but the answer is obvious.

The 360 is an in-efficient beast...

They wouldn't even think of a slim model until they got the gpu/cpu down to 45nm. Even then they need to basically make the housing into one huge vent.

Not to mention they still can't have the power supply inside the console.

It sure is shiny though....

There's built in WiFi, and 250gb hard drive, and it's all for $300 (If I remember correctly).

It's totally worth it if you don't already own a 360.

Probably best to wait for a year to see if they set anything on fire or eat games imo.

+2 # RE: RE: So do I — Elmer The One 2010-06-16 18:25

Duh, smaller, more silent, wifi, 250 gb hdd, awesome new look, and you can flash your old one

+3 # RE: The Xbox 360 Slim unboxed — raymandude 2010-06-15 13:42

could they just give the controller a built in battery?

+1 # That's what I was thinking — UltimaXX 2010-06-15 14:18

I mean, if the controller was completely flat where the battery compartment currently is, that would be one AMAZING looking controller.

+1 # RE: That's what I was thinking — Jazriel 2010-06-15 18:38

yup, woulda looked sweet if they glossed out the controller like they did the system, though I don't think the grip would be the same =\

# lol — Shatterdome 2010-06-20 00:48

I had this conversation with my friend.

He is lazy and just buys duracels. We figured it out and he could have bought a PS3 and at least 2 games with the money he's spent on batteries.

-1 # .. — omarwhy 2010-06-15 14:29

Does it REALLY need 5 usb ports? I rarely use 2 at once..

Honestly I think I'd have rather had even a $10 price cut instead of 2 more usb ports lol.

Have to admit though, I LOVE that they finally added wireless integrated in the system, that makes this upgraded 360 worthwhile.

+1 # RE: .. — Jazriel 2010-06-15 18:43

well they did it cause lots of people that have rock band or guitar hero use the usb ports cause not everyone gets the wireless =\ that and like swapping my flash drive without having to unplug something else.

-1 # RE: RE: .. — jacobian91 2010-06-15 23:39

When you get a rockband or guitar hero bundle with wired controllers, there are usb splitters, meaning two controllers work on one console port.

However, the 5 USBs makes sense for people with 4 wired standard Xbox controllers. The extra one can be used to a USB drive seeing as they're now supported.

-1 # RE: The Xbox 360 Slim unboxed — MangoScango 2010-06-15 14:39

lol. you spill any liguid on that thing and its toast

+1 # RE: RE: The Xbox 360 Slim unboxed — Ann 2010-06-15 19:11

Quoting MangoScango:

lol. you spill any liguid on that thing and its toast

as opposed to the other $300 dollar system you could submerge underwater, right?

Put your ruler away...

-3 # RE: RE: RE: The Xbox 360 Slim unboxed — Souljaboy56 2010-06-15 21:51

The 300 dollar system doesnt have a ventilated top, unlike this. you spill liquid on this and your screwed.

+2 # RE: RE: RE: RE: The Xbox 360 Slim unboxed — Ann 2010-06-16 19:09

the ps3 doesn't have a ventilated top?

I must have a super special one then because mine does...

-3 # RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: The Xbox 360 Slim unboxed — MangoScango 2010-06-16 21:52

No it doesn't. As a mater of fact, A glass of water was spilled on my PS3 slim, and was fine. (I'm not careless, I have an Autistic little brother) I was just saying, you get any liquid in there, its done for. I'm not saying if you submerge it in water, any electronic would be screwed.

+1 # SO... — astaroth001 2010-06-15 14:45

Is not basically a slim version due to weight? I dont like the 360 at all, but I hope they kida fix the RROD issues

-2 # Ooft! — Pedallion 2010-06-15 14:46

Is it just me, or have they tried to build an xbox 360, based on a PS3?

USB door flap is... crap, certain devices don't squeeze into those.

Still a proprietary hard drive, witch sucks.

AND! Last but not least... In fact, probably most, power brick! The system is looking better i think, but it's still reeking of cheepness :/

+2 # RE: The Xbox 360 Slim unboxed — Jazriel 2010-06-15 18:45

Finally it doesn't sound like a vacuum cleaner when it starts reading off the disk

I'm just gonna sell my halo edition elite and get this.

-2 # RE: The Xbox 360 Slim unboxed — slash_th 2010-06-15 19:12

Would have been funny as shit if it RROD after they turned it on xD

+2 # RE: RE: The Xbox 360 Slim unboxed — Jazriel 2010-06-15 19:15

old joke is old =\

-1 # Yes — UltimaXX 2010-06-16 10:49

But a relevant one nevertheless. Looking past the RROD, Microsoft just has a serious streak of bad luck when it comes to these things. I remember Windows 98 giving a BSoD during its original unveiling years ago.

+2 # RE: Yes — Jazriel 2010-06-16 11:54

nah, the new chipset consumes less power and makes it run cooler. From what i've read this thing is rrod proof

-3 # RE: RE: Yes — slash_th 2010-06-16 19:46

xbox+rrod proof= fairy tale xD

-1 # Hm? — UltimaXX 2010-06-19 11:21

I didn't say that this console is going to RRoD. I just meant that people's concerns are valid and people shouldn't be put down like morons for having them, since the last Xbox was hardly the first time Microsoft released a broken product.

# Ughmmm — Alexrascon 2010-06-15 21:45

So where's the slim? All I see is a pimped out 360...

+1 # It looks cool. — BryanNitro 2010-06-15 23:51

its a Valhalla board with a x-clamp so future business for me mu ah ha ha RROD.

-1 # XBOX 360 THink it is better — XBOX 360 SLIMMER 2010-06-16 05:57

SLIMMER BUT IS IT IS BETTER. IS THIS THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL XBOX 360 ANY CHANGES AND BETTER AND NEW SPECS TO IT IS THERE A POINT OF SWITCHING TO IT.. ?? ..

+2 # RE: XBOX 360 THink it is better — Elmer The One 2010-06-16 18:23

umm, 250gb hdd, and wifi?
Did this answer your question?
Plus it's shiny

-1 # XBOX 360 THink it is better — XBOX 360 SLIMMER 2010-06-16 06:00

only like the shiny effect on the 360

-1 # XBOX 360 THink it is better — XBOX 360 SLIMMER 2010-06-16 06:02

WHAT ELSE IT can do the the original 360??

-1 # XBOX 360 THink it is better — XBOX 360 SLIMMER 2010-06-16 06:04

GIVE US A NEW 360 THEME AND LLOOK!!!!!!!!

-2 # omfg — +50 headshot 2010-06-16 17:24

no frigging hi-def cable? do we live in fucking 1990? for christ sake microsoft....

+1 # By the way — UltimaXX 2010-06-19 11:22

You're a fucking moron. It does have a hi-def cable; it's called component. Sure, it's not digital, but any difference in quality between component and HDMI has been, in my exerience, neglible, if even there at all.

# RE: By the way — joHnK 2010-06-19 22:47

YOu do know it doesn't come with component cable anymore. It's just the regular av cable.

-1 # Heard they got rid off RROD — Miltfanboy1 2010-06-19 11:38

I was told by a birdy at MS that the RROD was finally solved in this model there is no chance that it would ever happen 100% how did they accomplish this you ask well I'll tell you they changed the color of the lcds to blue!!!!...Ugh thats great I think...Oh wait what!!!...Its glossy black...Um shoot another system I have to clean religiously like my PS3 gonna have to have find a Xbox360 Bubble to keep the dust away.

# ... — Shatterdome 2010-06-20 01:10

have they fixed the f'ing d-pad yet ?

seriously....

# Xbox Improvement — bionicfl3a 2010-06-20 03:03

Jealous, this xbox has 802.11 built in router fastest in any console, 250gb hard drive, new sleek design, whisper quiet fan, and software inside xbox always been updated adding ESPN... for the same price what they do for PS3 nothing but remove software for example OS (linux) Ps3 logo, should say ps3 only takes everything, so stop the Hate and Appreciate! Awesome console! (=

# WTH — The Gamer 2010-06-20 08:15

They Jacked PS3 built in Wi-Fi,Touch Buttons, built in Hard Drive

more vents not trying to hate but dont you think they kinda took sony's idea

# RE: The Xbox 360 Slim unboxed — noetikos 2010-06-21 04:32

this newly redesigned 360 will still red ring in spite of the '2 in 1' cpu & gpu chipset (valhalla). m$ is still using same ol' flawed x-clamp for the chip. if anyhing this 360 will take a bit longer to red ring. yup m$ sure did copy a few things from the PS3.

the PS3 slim is still superior to the 360.
