lol at all the trolling. you guys just cant help yourself huh

tyrex5062d ago

it aint slim a little smaller yes but i wouldn't classify it as slim

El_Colombiano5062d ago

@Shang-Long,

I'm sorry but Microsoft made it waaaayyyyyyy too easy for people to rip on them this year. If people are trolling them, it's their own fault.

Hideo_Kojima5062d ago

no one mentioned Shiny? Sexy?

Shang-Long5062d ago

lol im not bashing anyone,. MS did it to themselves. i found it funny ppl couldn't help themselves ha

deafwing5062d ago

because it's still fat, just shorter.

SixZeroFour5062d ago

i think it stands for small...i remember on the original xbox, the smaller controllers that came out was called "xbox controller s" i think

WhittO5062d ago

It was funny on Gamespot when they brought in an older 360 and it was almost identical in size.

He also hesitated, when boasting about the smaller quiet fans if the drive (which makes all the noise) was actually quiet too lol, obviously not.

tyrex5061d ago

even seen it side by side with the older model yet lol. here you go http://e3.gamespot.com/vide...

now tell me thats a "slim" lol, just dont coin things just cause.

Dee_915062d ago

i think it shouldve been white tho
hope this dont get rrod srsly if it dont i might buy it in the future

candystop5062d ago

It's not like the slim at all given the fact they added features unlike the slim which removed them.

Tachyon_Nova5062d ago

Yeah but PS3 has had wifi since 2006, so the fact they have taken till now is pretty pathetic still. Other OS removal was to combat piracy, and I'd rather see it removed than see rampant piracy on PS3.

Dee_915061d ago

i was talking about the name not the features

dorkyfresh115062d ago

that's exactly what i was thinking!

TheDeadMetalhead5062d ago (Edited 5062d ago )

ORIGINAL IDEA DO NOT STEAL /sarcasm

aaron58295062d ago (Edited 5062d ago )

S stand for slim. My opinion may change when they say what the S means.Slick or Slim who cares

Silentmerc3nary5062d ago

Looks slick. I'm still getting one, but would have passed out/fainted/went berserk if it had Blu-ray. Yeah I have a PS3, but would have been nice nonteheless.

D4RkNIKON5062d ago

Yeah especially if they wanted it to be a true media hub. They didn't have to add it for games because obviously they wouldn't work for previous models but for movies it only makes sense. Since it is the same price as the PS3 it only gives PS3 the advantage. If you have an HDTV and you are in the market for a console which do you chose?

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_Cid4445d ago

you shouldnt be proud to approve slander

ATi_Elite4445d 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.

StayStatic4445d ago (Edited 4445d ago )

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

kevnb4445d ago (Edited 4445d 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_234445d 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.

gamingdroid4459d ago

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

LX-General-Kaos4458d 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.
