    Default Time to say goodbye?

    I need some advice.
    Me and my Xbox 360 have been through a lot together.
    It's been there for me when I'm sad, happy or just bored.
    It's even moved house with me.
    I know I should be loyal, but, I can't help it.
    Recently, every time I go into Game, I've been noticing a new Xbox, the upgraded stylish new version.
    I know I shouldn't, but it looks so pretty and shiny and it's new!!!
    I'm a technophile so if it's new technology I have it. But I held back this time.
    Attachment and everything.

    I just don't know anymore.
    Is it worth it?
    Shall I trade in friendship just to be up to date?

    Is the new Xbox really any better? I need help!

    Lots of love from Lysia xxx

    My girlfriend bought me the new xbox for my 21st back in October, I absolutely love it, more so than my xbox 360 elite. It's quieter, it's faster, it makes a cool noise when you press the touch pad to turn it on and open the disc drive, enables you to have kinect of course and it has built in wifi, so you can play it anywhere - beats spending £50 on the wireless adaptor on the old 360 models anyway!

    Personally, I'd just stick with the old one - but it's probably because I moved away from consoles a while ago.

    And you had to buy an adapter for networking on the old model? Thought it came with it.

    It's definitely worth the upgrade, the motherboard is new and doesn't heat up as fast (also helped by the huge vent in the top and sides), it has built in N wifi, it's a hell of a lot quieter idling (and games become quieter while playing due to the size of the harddrive and the ability to install them).

    Nah, everything before the 360S you had to buy an adapter.

    There's a $100 wifi adapter you had to buy for the 360, but the slim comes with wifi. I think thats about the only difference between the 2, but since i don't have the slim i can't say

    All of the main differences between the two and a general overview of the wifi situation has already been discussed in this thread.

    Hmmm.
    See. My mum had the phoneline cut off so the wireless doesn't effect me as I dont have live at the moment coz we use dongle internet!!!!
    But I just think it's so pretty and if it's quieter that's a bonus as mine is so loud.

    Do you install your favourite games to the Xbox hard-drive? If not, it solves half of the noise problem

    Im in the same situation. Seeing as I dont plan to get kinect Im not sure if its worth it. and for online gaming its really better to use a cable rather then wi fi. Making less noise would be nice but what bothers me most is the PSU fan not the 360 and Im not sure if thats changed or if I could just get a newer one for my old model.

    Plus, my old 360 has the steel wolves emblem from mechwarrior on it. How could I part with it?
