New Xbox 360 Slim noise comparison with original Xbox 360 Slim

So yesterday we unboxed the brand new Xbox 360 Slim, designed to look like the Xbox One, and also be lighter, slimmer, and quieter. Today we put that to the test - is it really quieter?

mushroomwig4007d ago

There's a mistake in the video, you said the new slim has a quieter start-up than the original but you didn't seem to realise that the disc was already in the tray. Of course the new console is going to start up quieter without a disc in the tray.

Arekkz4007d ago

Yeah I realise that the second part of the start up was due to the disc being in the tray, but the initial start up, with or without a disc, is slightly louder.

LackTrue4K4007d ago

@ video, cool....now set it on its side when reading the disk!! Lol

tigertron4007d ago (Edited 4007d ago )

My 2010 slim is silent (except when the disc is in the tray booting up) but it's the power pack that makes the noise.

GamingAngelGabriel4007d ago

You're absolutely right. I didn't even realize this until a few months ago when I put my ear by the power brick and realized THAT was what made all the noise.

Nafon4007d ago

my white xbox 360 is very quiet, except for when it is turned on, in which case it is deafeningly loud.

PurpHerbison4007d ago

I had the first slim and it was LOUD when reading discs.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5109d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905109d ago (Edited 5109d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5109d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5109d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495109d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5109d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5109d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
