I'm amazed they released the same console with improvements FIVE YEARS after it's original release

That's the time it usually takes for a brand new generation of consoles to be released...
we saw that the first time.

oh wow

http://www.ebgames.com/gs/specialty/tradeins/

so say I trade in:

My Elite w/ wireless controller - $100
My wireless adapter - $40
My other wireless controller - $25
My 120gb hard drive (separately) - $30 or so

That's $195. I'll probably trade in a few games too, so I'm looking at getting the Slim for under $100.

Getting on that shit.

btw, from Kotaku:

Update: Someone named Fred informed us that GameStop will give you the trade-in price for your hard drive up to seven days after your purchase, meaning you can transfer your data and bring the drive back later and still receive the credit.

Xbox 360 Slim Already Breaking Down

Reports of Xbox 360 hardware failures are already surfacing in some numbers, suggesting Microsoft may yet maintain its unrivalled reputation for producing quality hardware, despite cunningly removing the red LED from the unit in order to “solve” the RRoD problem.

Overheating problems seem to be the major issue, resulting in quite severe problems:



Possibly Microsoft would have done better to wait until the winter…

Another user apparently demonstrates the handy propensity of the unit to shut itself off in order to avoid heat damage:

The red ring of death has reportedly been upgraded to a green dot of death, just one of the many reasons the Xbox 360 Slim is fast shaping up to be an essential purchase.
Ouch, nice one Microsoft.

gg Microsoft. But what would you have expected anyway, it is a smaller case so it is bound to heat up more and faster.

On a side note..damn they have alot of consoles

I'd like to see where this is a widespread problem (i.e. more than 2-3 people getting it), especially since I'm picking one up soon.
