I have the old 360 and I was just wondering would it be worth it to upgrade to the new slim xbox or just keep the one i have now?
the only reason i could see is if you want kinect but dont have another plug spare.
The new one has more memory too which is a bonus.
or if u dont have a wireless adapter but want one. but even then can just buy one and isnt really worth the upgradeQuote:

yes but you need another plug socket for the old one as it doesnt have the kinect port. A sleeker design is not a reason to repurchase a console which is basically the same and you should only sell that one for the upgrade if you can work out it would be cheaper to do it that way, which is unlikely.Quote:

I prefer my new one, it's much less hassle, and it looks good and makes people go 'woah'.
But really, they ain't much different.
If the only reason to upgrade is for memory reasons then you can just buy a 120Gb harddrive for £20 pre-owned now, you don't need anymore than 60Gb really so the slim xbox is only good for the wifi and kinect support.
The new one also has built in wifi :) no leads and such.
The slim isnt anything better.
Yes it has built in wifi yes it is smaller and has a bigger fan..
My Super Elite is the exact same as a normal xbox but with 250gb hard drive, i have a wifi adapter and its next to a radiator, its on most of the day everyday and it hasnt broke (had it since november last year)
I might just keep the one I have then, save me some money.
Not worth upgrading unless your current one breaks.
I actually just sold my normal white xbox with a 20gb harddrive and bought the new slim with kinect and I'm pretty happy with it. My reasons for the upgrade was that the xbox I had was a refurbished one after getting the red rings a little more than 2 years ago and I kind of felt that it was going to get them again soon and I didn't want to go through the hassle of it again.
