I just saw the new Xbox design at the Microsoft Xbox briefing from 1:30-3:00 p.m. If any one else has seen it yet, do you think that it is a good thing? It has a 250 gigabyte hard drive, and the most powerful built in wifi, and they said it is very quiet now.
It has a new placement apparently, i think's it's sort of on the side instead of on top now...
Nevermind, it's on the same spot as it was before, but instead, there's a cover, which you take off. Once you take it off, the harddrive is actually inserted INSIDE the system.
I'm not sure how well this will sell except for more hardcore gamers or people new to xbox, since the prices for the older xbox models are reduced by a good 50 bucks.
Sorry, I'm used to PC which is multi-purpose which can be fitted out with terrabytes of space. I take several hundred gig for granted nowadays, for a console it's pretty good.
So basically from what I watched:
-Built in wi-fi -75% of the xbox 360's size -250hdd harddrive is standard -"quieter" fan ( I think there's one large one instead of 2 small or vice-versa) -Same price as the elite (300$ US) -Available this week.
There's smaller chips in the CPU by a few nanometres which allows for slightly faster processing. The differences are minimal but it is a slight improvement and brings it closer to the PlayStation 3 in hardware capability.
It has a new placement apparently, i think's it's sort of on the side instead of on top now...
That would make sense if the hard-drive has been moved. At the top there's no place for a heat sink, moving it to the side would be a perfect position for eliminating issues with over-heating. Either the heat would have no space to get out of or the hard drive is blocking valuable ventilation space, if the Xbox's design originally had the hard drive at the top there's already clues as to why so many broke down.
Nevermind, it's on the same spot as it was before, but instead, there's a cover, which you take off. Once you take it off, the harddrive is actually inserted INSIDE the system.
Wait, are you talking about the external hard drive space or the hard drive that comes within the system unit?
It can't even get RROD.rn
Yes it can. There will be no point when a technological device will be immune to malfunction. That article states that the way of displaying hardware problems (or lack of connection to an AV cable) is different, but the thing can still blow up, fall to pieces, overheat, crash or have no cables attached.
Shame that this thread was revived by a gold farmer, but I think the new Xbox 360 S is still a controversial instalment in the chain.
it cant get rrod because the lights were took out lmao and i have it not much different
I haven't opened one up yet mainly because there to expensive at the moment but i beleive that the XCLAPS have been taken out which cause the thermal paste to explode and cause RROD, there is more then one way to get RROD and the new one are not immune.
