• New Slim Xbox 360

  Cheee! I got the new Slim Xbox 360 today.

  

   

  Originally wasn't planning on picking this up, until November. Since I was expecting Microsoft to release a system bundle that included the Kinect. You know that motion camera accessory that they're going to make...

  

  But Microsoft just announced that the only system bundle that they will be making with the Kinect will be with the 4GB model system.... There ain't no way that I'm going to get a 4GB system instead of the 250GB.

  So I called up Best Buy to see if they had it, and as you already guessed, yes they did have it and they put one on hold for me too. The reason for going to best buy instead of gamestop? because Best Buy offers a 2 year warranty, versus a 1 year at gamestop...

  So yea, i spent just a couple dollars under $400 on this thing today.... and i'm not entirely sure why.... other than when the Kinect comes out I'll only have to plug it into the new system, where as the old one you have to also plug it into the wall outlet... And I can also now easily transfer items between my characters on Fable 2..... IDK...... it's shiny?

   

  So far It's giving me a headache on trying to transfer my content. because I want to keep my content on my old hard drive too, for my old xbox that I still have. But if I do a transfer all at once It deletes the stuff off the old hard drive. The only way to copy stuff over and keep it would be to click on each game individually and copy it one by one. and some of them don't even offer a copy option that way.... Right now I'm using a program to copy my old hard drive to my computer... all 238GBs of data..... after that I'll do the batch transfer to my new xbox. and then restore the content from my computer back onto the old hard drive.... goinna take awhile....
