Slim 360 - Will the real 360 please stand up?

SquareGo : The first thing you might think of as you take the new Xbox 360 out of its box is that it looks just like an Alienware PC tower.

This guy was being a fanboy. The new 360
looks great! It plays great! Everything so
far is great. Im thinking about buying one!

Judging by T9X69's comments it sounds like he's an outright moron rather than a fanboi.

Although the difference is negligible i guess.

This guy is a fanboy!

He said they give you the worst kind of cables? I remember I got those same cables with my first Ps3! I never used then because I went to HDMI. I am almost sure I got the same kind of cables with this new one, but I dont feel like looking through the box.

Then he said the headset is crappy? I don't get it, you are getting a headset with your console while you have to pay for a wireless from MS or Sony! How is getting a starter headset a bad thing?

Then he goes on with pointless other topics. Waste of time!

IF ANYONE IS OUT THERE LOOKING FOR THE NEW SLIM CHECK YOUR BEST BUYS, BOTH OF THEM BY MY HOUSE HAD A TON OF THEM... WELL ALL CONSOLES REALLY.
If i Were to buy a 360 it would be the new Slim, mainly for wifi.

"You see, the authorisation process only works on 30 items at a time"
"This means every so often you'll come across something that won't work offline or in other profiles."

Um, no its called content licenses. If you get a new 360 and don't transfer your content licenses, only certain content will work offline. If you use the license transfer tool, all your DLC and full games will work offline with no problems at all. This guy really needs to do some research.

"To add insult to injury, buying this new console will grant you no bonus Xbox Live Gold time on your account. None at all! This is quite unexpected, since previously all but the Arcade units (those with no hard drive) came with 12 months free."

It never has, I bought an arcade to replace my old 360 and I did not get 12 months free. Where is this guy getting this shit?

"Both have stripped down what you get in the box from launch, though it feels like Microsoft's approach will cost new users more in cables, accessories and, if wanted, Xbox Live Gold time. At least Sony have started shipping HDMI cables with the PS3."

Wrong again, one PS3 bundle came with an HDMI cable. The standard PS3 at Gamestop, Walmart, etc does not include ANY type of HD cables. Xbox 360 comes with HD composite cables.

"Let's take playing Mass Effect 2 as an example. Install disc 1, play to the point you change discs, quit game, uninstall disc 1, install disc 2, play some more, realise you have to go back, quit the game again, uninstall disc 2, re-install disc 1, finish stuff and on it went!"

Is this guy serious? He obviously never played ME2. You don't have to install anything, and you don't have to quit the game to switch the disc. A message pops up telling you to insert disc 2, by the time you put the disc in, turn around and sit down, you're back to playing.

If this guy wants to review or do coverage on anything gaming related, he better use google next time.

Research before writing an article? ARE YOU MAD?

dazzalfc5028d ago

I wouldn't rely on google, as there's tons of crap on there too. And my Xbox 360S didn't come with any form of HD cable, it comes with the normal standard definition cables, which, if you had looked harder on google, you would have known (or looked on the side of the box, like i did :) )

Luckily i had a spare HDMI cable anyway, so i wasn't fussed

dazzalfc5028d ago

And LOL at the disagree. So me stating fact about the 360S coming with a standard definition cable is a lie?

looks like somebody kicked it in front.. or dropped the shit already,..

Colonel-Killzone5028d ago

This article is complete trash in my opinion and it seems he is very biased towards the 360. Also I won't be arguing with any Sony fanboys who wanna say otherwise because if there was a PS3 article with someone trash talking the PS3 you know you guys would use every excuse and every insult in the book.

How did this get aprroved, I feel dumber for having read it.
N4g, welcome to an all time low.

Johnny_Bravo5028d ago

The site Admin "insta-approved" it. Shows how good the admin is doing his job right?

tokugawa5028d ago (Edited 5028d ago )

they are as a big a joke as the hardcore of fanboys that dwell here. n4g admin are the reason why n4g is nothing but garbage really. it's those that need to take the blame imo.

welcome to the web-site that encourages flame-wars and fanboys, just to keep the traffic up, and money flowing!!!!

now watch this post get deleted and my bubbles stripped
