Question: Xbox 360: elite or slim?

(Posted by: on 2010-08-15 13:54:58)

Hello, im thinking about buying an xbox 360, and i have narrowed my choice between the elite, and the new slimmer 250gb xbox 360. Ive looked at the arcade and pro, and they dont fit my qualifications. I wanna hear your opinions about each, and which one you think i should buy, and dont give me bs about how i should buy a Wii or Playstation 3 instead. i want an xbox 360, i just cant decide which kind.

If this is your first time to buy a 360, definitely go with the Xbox 360 S 250GB. First of all, you will have more space than the 120GB Elite, unless you are getting a Elite Bundle, which will cost the same if not more than the new Xbox 360 S. Next, the Xbox 360 S has a smaller and sleeker profile, is quieter, and has built in WiFi (which is a $99 accessory for the Elite) and has Kinect support built in. Here is some more info on the Xbox 360 S 250GB: x360n.com/ 2010/ 07/ xbox-360-s-250gb-console-bundle.html

360 is the way to go IMO, just for the online experience, the games, and most importantly(to me) the controller. That being said, you need to decide what is better for you. I've had almost every model of the 360. From the first 20GB, to a Arcade replacement with HDMI, to the one I have now the 120GB Elite. I haven't had the newest Slim version, because the one I have works just fine. The Elite will do everything you need. I have mine connected to Xbox Live on a wired connection(which I prefer for reliability) so I have no need to upgrade really. But if you want a wireless connection on your Xbox you might as well just get the new Slim. You get double the hard drive space, and built in WIFI. Not to mention it is very quiet, and the older stocks of elites are almost gone, so you might as well spend the $300 and get the new console.

Slim, reason? it was WI-FI so u can connect to xbox live without a annoying wire going to your router or across the hall as i have it.

Slim for sure bro!!! Think about it slim has a 250gb hard drive the elite only has a 120. Also the slim has a built in wireless adapter that the elite doesn't have (99$). Overall the slim is better, you'd be mad not to get it dude.
