I don't know whether to get the new Xbox

[Nathaaaan]

The new X-Box supposedly doesn't get RRoD, instead when it overheats you get that annoying message "Needs to temp shut down cuz it's t00 warm" and a little red dot flashes in the middle whilst it's cooling down, and disappears when it may be switched on again.

Apparently.

Just heard from a reliable source.

You do know you can put the updates on a CD/USB drive and update that way?

yeah not working either

My mates MW2 got ruined by my mates Xbox and it was on the TV stand the whole time...

its vibrations gibs

also it does nathan i think aswell but I cant remember who told me this but when you turn something off it always heats up first before it cools down again so yeah. overheating exists in all tech tbh.

I'd have to say no, it is not worth the switch. When Apple made the iPhone 4, they wanted to make it so people with the 3GS would actually want to switch phones and upgrade to it. However with this it is just simply updating the Xbox of the little things it should already have, also to put up better competition. Wifi and more memory is simply raising the standard we know Xbox as and I think it's fair to say that it's about time.

Don't get the new one if you already have a 360. Anyone know if they are bringing any updates like NXE or something?

There's going to be another dashboard update five days before Black Ops released but there won't be any cosmetic differences.

If u got the money, go for the new one, i dont see why not personally (unless you look at its ugly design)

I recently bought the new Xbox 360 Slim, mainly due to my old elite overheating and when I did play, my connection ALWAYS dropped. As soon as I turned the slim on, the WiFi synced straight away, the pad did, and I quickly transferred all my data from my old HDD. Surprisingly, the slim hasn't given me any problems online, I am always at full green bar on MW2/Halo, etc whilst with the elite I was dropping every 20-30seconds. So for the £200 I paid, it was worth it, definitely runs a lot quieter. Yeah, it can get hot, but I've had mine turned off for 10 mins and it has already cooled down. Just like every other electronic with a fan, make sure it has room to breathe.

EDIT: I should mention that the Wireless-N is awesome too, especially if you have an N router.

I really wish PS3 had N wireless thingymabob because my connection is really starting to suck, but that could just be BT or the radius of it. I think though overall the N is a waste of extra money it's just one of those things to make you go "oh this is better now I'm going to get this" when really it won't be needed at all for along time for most people. I guess future proofing helps though.

Ooh it has the wireless adapter built in?
I want onee, I've had a 360 since they were first released yet never had live 'cos I refuse to pay £50 for the wireless adapter!
