Standing up, I think it sucks from the top and bottom and blows out from the right side

Laying down, it would suck from the sides and blow out of the top.

It sucks air from the heat sink. Air gets sucked from the side vents when its laying down and blows up. When it's standing up, it will kind of feel like air is coming out from the top, but not really.. that is feedback from the hot air naturally wanting to come out from the top.

The only thing that would have made me want one is if they got the DVD drive to run quitely when spinning a disc. There's NO need for that thing to sound like a jet engine everytime I play a game.

There really isn't much to dislike with the 360 redesign.  It's much more attractive, built in wireless N works great, and having the extra hard drive space is a huge bonus.  Not having to delete things off the hard drive to make room is nice.  It is so much quieter.  You barely even know its running.  The power brick is also much smaller.  Having the Kinect port, optical out, and extra USB ports are also nice features. 

Some of these features should have been there in the first place, but at least Microsoft learned from their mistakes and really made a quality system.  Hopefully Microsoft uses what they have learned for their next system.


You forget a lot of people are having issues, their failure rate is STILL bigger than Sony's by a large margin.

Also it's not that quiet, it's louder than a PS3 (slim and fat line) according to dBA, so don't get your hopes up here. The PS3 isn't the most silent thing, so don't get into this hype from fanboys.


Not all is rainbows with the new 360-S like people are trying so ever hard to portray. Also they are cooler cause they are affraid to put a PSU into their machine cause of excessive heat. Their tech is actually unimpressive and cheap. They did this method so they can skimp on other areas of their console; To increase market cap earned per-system. Sony at least did it right, even when they used more power.

Don't say I am a fanboy, I am just saying, don't buy this 360 for the tech, it's nothing special. If your old 360 works, it's nearly the same and people get a little to excited about products they own. By the way, I own one too. I don't dislike Microsoft, I just don't pretend this technology is great, LOL... Even their Kinect is rather simple, and has been done before (the idea).

You sure you were looking at a 360s and not an orgional xbox?

Because http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=251381 say your talking bollocks!

"With no disc in the tray this console is absolutely silent - the single larger fan that replaces the multiple fans of the old noisy console clearly doing the trick in the decibel-trimming department."

I got one for like 329 Australian Dollars down from 428, because I traded in a few 360, PS3 and XBOX games I didnt play anymore for store credit.

 

To bad I couldn't trade in my old console, cuz I had to give it to my GF... lolz...

 

But Im loving the slim, because I had the original 360 Pro console (20GB), and it RROD once but has been strong since repairs over two years ago. But I needed a new update, as I was running out of space and all.

 

Loving this slim ATM, it is so damn quite when playing games (installed into the hard drive) that it seems like console is not even on!

 

with the new 250gb hard drive theres no reason for you not to install games on the hard drive...

 

but yeh im loving it ATM!!! =)
