If there is a 360 slim, will the current hard-drive fit it?

I laughed at your #1 point for 2 reasons

1. M$ will not give you something for free that they can charge you for
2. I don't think a ton of people will buy a slim just because it is a 'slim' - hence no reason to include a cable (ie: if you buy a console it is probably your first console, hence no reason for a transfer cable) I imagine there ARE people out there that will buy a slim just beacuse it is new, in which case they can spend the extra $ on the transfer cable :P

 

Im laughing at your points for one reason, they already give away the transfer cable for free if you ask for one.

I don't think they do anymore. They charge 15 dollars plus 5 shipping for that item now. They once gave it away, but they stopped over the last year.

Ssssssh!!!!! Damnit!!! The way to do it is you have to speak BS in order to prop up fantasies about a certain system and completely disregard anything which contradicts in order to make it seem that the Xbox 360 has near unlimited potential! Stop contradicting my BS please!

I'm surprised that you didn't busted out. It's surprising how that the vast majority of the people who hate the Xbox 360, know so very little about it. It's actually a well designed system conceptually, and the game installs, along with the HardDrive and content management is vastly superior to the system used with the PS3, and the controller has really spolied me. Also, the onine intigration through the dashboard is fantastic, in gold of silver, while PSN is clunky, by comparison. The DS controller should have the analog stick where the directional pad is. That way, left to right motion would be more easily achieved during driving games, AND the gamefreek steering attachment would be usable in the proper horozontal position. My other issue with the controller, is the tightness of the analog stick. Sony went with looser sticks, and thus needed to have greater allowances for dead center(similar to the gamecube and N64 controllers with very loose sticks, and straying from the original Playstation controller, with its tighter, but more prone to getting off center, sticks). I feel that Sony did this to give the controller a longer shelf-life, by allowing for eventual natural loosening of the resistance dampers.

That means I have to move the stick farther to gain initial movement from the stick, while with the 360 controller with its tighter stick, feels more responsive. That said, the 360 remote has no motion controller component, so that is a large advantage of the PS3 controller.That said, the asthetics of the firmware and the ergonomics of the controller are less antiquated on the Xbox 360. That, along with a few exclusives, is one of the few reasons I still own one. The largest advantage I give the PS3 is the smoothness of the experience. The 360 does tend to lag and stutter under all weight of the dashboard, which is a real turnoff. The PS3 on the other hand, is smooth as silk, and has more interesting, imo, exclusives releasing in the near future.

If the 360 does release a slim model, I hope for improved performance(more ram or something) just to help with the dashboard. I want the new console to have improved functionality, not just a new look, and MS needs to make that happen if they want to make me get rid of my goddamn new hard-drive.
