AOTS: 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 $299.

Not surprising coming from them

but still the new design is pretty nice

niceguywii605072d ago

Not surprising some people using who they are as an excuse to paint their opinion as biased downplaying what they say.

But yes it's one sexy beast. I bet no would have an issue if the downgraded PS3 Slim got this score in this review.

I bet some would. For starters:

Well, I know one flaw in the new 360, which would obviously stop it getting top marks in any review.

Turning itself off when it gets to hot. Instead of tackling the error, they just covered it up with a 15minute cooldown. Why didn't they just throw in a better cooling system and then be done with it ¬_¬

"Turning itself off when it gets to hot. Instead of tackling the error, they just covered it up with a 15minute cooldown. Why didn't they just throw in a better cooling system and then be done with it"

Care to tell me another product that doesn't overheat and can automatically fix itself from overheating again without the aid of a human being?

@Fishy Fingers

Except not. PCs and especially laptops overheat all the time. In fact, that's been one of the biggest issues with laptops.

Fishy Fingers5072d ago (Edited 5072d ago )

PC's/laptops of all types.

Edit: If your PC/laptop is overheating, you can just download some freeware that will do exactly what this new feature is doing. But normally it's in there as standard.

Hallmark Moment5072d ago (Edited 5072d ago )

PS3.

LOL @ PS3 fans
Kind of moronic bashing the new 360 safety feature trying to create a fictional tale suggesting the lack of hardware improvements because of the new feature. A new low for PS3 fanboys.

SPARTANVI5072d ago

They miniaturized the GPU/CPU and brought them under a single die (45nm). All heat generating components under one roof with a massive heatsink and fan to cool it AND added the overheating fail safe.

Covering all your bases isn't a bad thing.

Best part is when they bitch about it not having a removable hard drive... then someone writes in to the twitter and tells them where it is... then they have to go back and show that it does have a removable hard drive. Fuckin' tards.

guitarded775072d ago

Seriously, why all the disagrees... did you even watch the freaking video? What I say happened, happened. Watch the freaking video and if you still disagree, please feel free to leave a comment and tell me why... it's amazing what anonymity will lead people to do. So I challenge you to sack up and tell me why you disagree, otherwise you're just some coward blinded by religious fervor for a console which I haven't said a bad word about... or maybe you're just hard over the G4TV cast.

Fishy Fingers5072d ago

It's not like I'll be happy if my current 360 dies, but I'd much rather have one of the new models than the old.

DJexs5072d ago

Good thing there was not a game in there it would be destroyed

sstrfgcv5072d ago

some xbot's slim overheats and gets a message to shutdown, and in the process of shutting it down accidentally nudges the slim and it shreds his video game.

DemiT5072d ago

N4g publishes a 360 story and not one ps3 troll comes in to troll.

sstrfgcv5072d ago

i know, the truth hurts

Report suggests the UK is a console nation

Bit-Tech: Perhaps the biggest surprise was that the tide of console gamers is a cultural phenomenon which does not appear to cross every border. According to NPD's research, while the UK has the highest incidence of console usage out of all the markets analysed Germany boasts the biggest number of PC gamers.

France, meanwhile, is clinging on to dedicated hand-held consoles like the Nintendo 3DS and Sony PlayStation Portable at a time when NPD's analysis shows that gamers in most other nations have ditched theirs in favour of getting their portable gaming fixes on smartphones and tablets.

"when NPD's analysis shows that gamers in most other nations have ditched theirs in favour of getting their portable gaming fixes on smartphones and tablets."

you mean like japan, europe or the US where the 3ds is breaking records?

People are ditching the 3DS so fast in the US, 3ds sales have doubled over ds first year sales and the year isnt even over.

No source, no truth

who approved this garbage?

Knight_Cid4463d ago

you shouldnt be proud to approve slander

ATi_Elite4462d ago

but 250 million global online PC Gamers say other wise.

Everyone with a Gaming PC can play Wii Games so does that mean the world is a Wii Nation?

I think people just enjoy Games and it really doesn't matter the platform.

Console Nation, PC Universe, iPhone Realm, doesn't matter just enjoy your Games.

StayStatic4463d ago (Edited 4463d ago )

Considering most PC Gamers will own 1 or more consoles , declaring the UK as a "console nation" is complete and utter bollox.

kevnb4463d ago (Edited 4463d ago )

owning a console and playing the occasional game once in a blue moon doesnt make you a console gamer. Just like owning a pc and maybe playing some random flash game doesnt make you a pc gamer. Alot of pc gamers bought ps3s, its a blu-ray player and media hub that plays games.

guitar_nerd_234463d ago

I'm from the UK and game on nearly every platform I can think of.

But yes in general I'm more thumbs than fingers when It comes to my games.

Paul Christoforo to Write a Book Based on the Ocean Marketing Debacle

Remember in December of last year when Paul Christoforo became the pariah of the internet? Ocean Marketing was at the center of a scandal that took the internet by storm after Christoforo exchanged rude, angry emails with a customer of Avenge Controllers, for whom Christoforo was providing customer service. I recently had the chance to speak with Paul about the whole ordeal and what his life has been like since.

That is a very nice looking xbox 360.

gamingdroid4476d ago

That does look sick and the sound is even more awesome. Too bad the darn Xbox 360 is so expensive still.

LX-General-Kaos4476d ago

When the Wii U drops the xbox prices will take a serious nose dive. Hopefully they still have that particular one floating around retail.
