Mojoe Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Has anyone traded in on one of these? I'm thinking of trading my Elite and getting one. I just don't want to end up in the group of people who got in early on gear that needs mo0re work. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 why would you trade up for one? just curious... seems like a waste to me especially if you already have an elite with the big HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benner Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Friend of mine has one. There's no difference in them other then looks and HD size. So unless your needing more space, Id stick with the elite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 250 gigs in the new one, not that I even use 10 gigs now. I feel I'm on borrowed time with my Elite and RRD. And it's ready to go for Konnect in November. Plus, I think I Gamestop is giving $150 credit toward the Slim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinisterSS Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 just upgrade your HD and save your money, I bought a PS3 80g and upgraded my HD to a 500g, the HD cost me $79.99 its WAY cheaper than buying a new system with a bigger HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 just upgrade your HD and save your money, I bought a PS3 80g and upgraded my HD to a 500g, the HD cost me $79.99 its WAY cheaper than buying a new system with a bigger HD I only use about 10 gigs of the 120 I have now. The 250 is just a plus. I'm more interested in not getting RRD and being able to get to use the Konnect system in November. I just don't see me getting my money to work harder for me, than trading up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 the newer elites should not have RRoD problems and kinect cant play on the old consoles? i read there will be an attachment to allow it to work...im sure the attachment will be cheaper than buying a new system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jizzle Juice Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 You get built in wifi and it has kinect ready. Id do it with no hesitation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 You get built in wifi and it has kinect ready. Id do it with no hesitation I'm pretty much there. Really just posted to see if anyone had done it. And I should really look into spelling Kinect, before I start talking about it. Fail.

Fubar231 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Seems pointless to me. By the time the elites came out they had the RRoD problem fixed, and you already have 120gig hd, do you really need 250? Built in wifi, whatever, thats probably the 1 good thing. Kinect ready, oh boohoo, all regular users have to do when they get it is patch it / install a cd and there xbox's are kinect ready. Wouldn't be worth it imo to go sell your perfectly fine xbox for another one, then having to pay money out of hand for the same thing you already had? I don't get it, unless WiFi means THAT much...

EGOKILLER Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 I traded in one of my old pro systems when the slim came out. I have had zero issues with it and is so quiet you can't even tell its on. The built in wifi is better than any of the other wireless connectors they have out now i can tell you that from experiance of having the g and the n compared to the slim. I am getting ready to trade another one of my systems in and getting another slim very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08nastygt Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 I just bought one, I wanted the built in wi-fi and they also said I wouldnt need a adapter for the kinect when it comes out. So he said I'd save a couple hundred bucks just with those 2 things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicranium Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 By the time the elites came out they had the RRoD problem fixed Not true. Not until the Jasper units came out did they really have it figured out well enough to consider it "fixed." The first Elites were the exact same hardware as the launch units which had a failure rate of something like 70%. They had Falcons eventually which brought it down to around 30% which is still awful. Jasper's had a failure rate less than 3% and only came out within the last year and a half. I read somewhere that they removed the rings so people wont know their system is getting the RRoD, I don't know how true that is I think the dot in the center of the touch-sensitive power button turns red now. Not sure though. Not sure if anyone has even had it happen yet. These things displace heat like crazy. I had 2 360's (bought a 60 GB Pro when my Elite red-ringed a second time and I needed a new one ASAP for something) and sold one for $225 and the other for $200 and got the new 360. As mentioned, it's really quiet, everything runs smoothly, kinda wish it was a matte black finish as opposed to glossy but my 360 is in a lower, darker place so no one can really see it aside from the lights when it's on. I don't even use the Wifi (yet) but the 250GB is good for me. I install all of my games to the hard drive so the disc drive isn't always spinning (reduces wear and tear and noise) and I have ~600 Rock Band songs downloaded so I'm using about 100GB.

Mojoe Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 ^^ I need to get with you t unfuck my set up^^ Free beer and pizza on your menu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 I got the new 250gb. It's barely smaller. The powerbrick is the only noticeable smaller thing. It also uses like 30 watts less power overall, and it does run a tad cooler because of it. The storage is pretty damn useful IMO. I copy all my games to the HDD, and am using 50gb or so already with just a few games copied. Also, it has cool touch sensitive buttons instead of physical buttons. You touch them and it lets out a chime to let you know. The only thing I found unacceptable for buying a $300 xbox is that it only comes with low definition cables. No component, no HDMI. Its teh gay. ps: gamertag bkooie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FormulaMatt Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I may have to look into this. Mine has the smaller HD and no HDMI....How long is Game Stop giving that credit? Are they the only ones doing something like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Never heard of being able to copy the games to the console. Does that mean I wouldn't need the physical game anymore? How do I do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
