$299? Which one, PS3 or this? Decisions, decisions...

£199 is a pretty decent price considering the 250GB and built in wireless.

 

[YayMii]

They gave these away for free at E3

Lol, why does it cost more? If you're issuing a remodel, the idea is for it to be cheaper. Microsoft... you...

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Maybe it costs more because they actually fixed the RROD

Or maybe they feel they can rape your savings account with no remorse, and you'll fall for it because it's a slim system.

This really made me LOL.

Meh, I don't care, I need a new HDD anyway, I don't mind spending an extra $200 or so

 

[Splych]

aww... man .
you'll see people with xbox 360s, the old ones and then your friends will get this new slim one ...
bleh.

it looks like a Wii for some reason.
think about it,
Wii has some shiny-ness to it, and this xbox looks like it has it.
the size looks like the size of the Wii,
built in Wi-Fi for competition against the PS3 and Wii.

why the only thing new is a bigger fan and a new smaller power box [instead of a freaking brick] that the natel, sorry the kinetic can get power from, you just need a new cable for older 360's to use it [which will probably cost between $23-$50]
also £199 is $400 Canadian so it's not cheap
