Let me start off with saying, this thing is beautiful. It's light weight and so quiet. After a little problem over remembering what my email and password was for my Live account I was on my way to transferring everything over from my puny little 20gig to my brand new 250gig. Which is awesome, since I was down to 2gigs after deleting everything I could bare to part with.
The eject button and power button take the slightest touch to get the button to react and the eject beeps when it is pulling the disc in an out. The system came with a headset too, which was awesome since I had been using my roommates after my (at the time) puppy destroyed mine.
The controller is actually different than the other black controllers released before, it has the same shiny look to it and the analog stick is darker. The whole thing is just beautiful.
I got a really great deal on the whole thing, I traded in my old Xbox with the Wireless Adapter and got $170 after I traded in the Hard Drive, this is just a deal GameStop has going on for people who are trading in toward the purchase of the slim Xbox. I traded in a bunch of games I don't play any more too and brought the price of the new system down considerably.
Luckily, my roommates have a transfer cable so moving everything over wasn't a problem either.
Anyone else pick up the new system? What's your thoughts on this sexy little beast of a game system?
Alas, I don't have an Xbox. Wii and PS3, but no Xbox.
ReplyDeleteReading that your (at the time) puppy destroyed your headset struck a familiar note with me. One of my cats thinks she's a rat. She chewed through my computer speaker wire, and then the wires of SIX headsets.
Each one was purchased to replace the previous casualty. I gave up after #6 and have learned to enjoy the forced quiet. ^_^
