I meant ordering online. They are reliable and you will probably get it faster than the stores. They still have them in stock for that. Damn I can't wait to go home, the wait is killer.

Bad news for Wifi users - I'm using Ethernet but my friend is using Wifi primarily and his 360 Slim's Wifi connection is so shitty he cannot connect to Xbox Live, despite his Xbox Pro w/ Wireless Adapter getting perfect connection. =(

Yes. You don't need a DVD or anything, the transfer software is built into the OS.

Awesome. Especially because I'm not entirely sure where that CD is at. Urge to upgrade is rising.

The online locator updates every 24 hours at the most. For new shipments it cannot be trusted, you have to call to see if something has come in in the last 24 hours.

Tip for those using USB stick transfer method for backing up your saves… press Y over the game for "Game Options" and u can transfer everything for that game all at once rather than having to do each save for that game manually (can also mass-delete that way).

Hope that makes sense and saves people some time, I was doing it the slow way transferring each save one by one until I realized this option.

Stock supposedly coming tomorrow at my local Gamestop in southern Wisconsin.

So you guys who are trading old Xboxes--what are you bringing to the store? I've got my original packaging and all the AV cables and dongles and things that came with the console. Is that overkill to give all that stuff away?

You can transfer an entire CATEGORY. Games, Demos, etc.

The bad thing is you choose 'Games' it will transfer your saves AND dlc (including full arcade games) which may blow up your space requirements, but if you can get everything to fit (by using a large enough device or by deleting dlc that you will re-download) this is AWESOME.

I already made my chatpad black. Just need the black headset. Maybe I can finally go completely black with this too..

Yeah, the headset is like a dollar. Just give the required stuff. They take the Hard drive separate unless they changed that too.

Just tried the WiFi and it works fine (console is close to my router so that could be it) but i took it upstairs and it still was a solid connection. I will always use a wired connection anyways but just thought id toss out my results.

dang.... that is much smaller than it looked from some of the other press shots. I have to wonder if they could have made it even thinner by removing the bulges at each end. I have to think there is nothing there since the motherboard is flat. If the thinnest point was the actual width it would look much smaller than it even does now.

Perfect comparison. All it needs is a PS3 slim in there for a full comparison. You will tell the differnce between your old 360 and the new one when you put it on your stand.

I have a wife who has her own gamertag, nephews and neices that comes around and some of them have their own gamertag. Since all my content are under my account, none of them will have access to it if I don't transfer them over to a new console. Maybe you need to think about that one.

Good point. You're right. That is an excellent reason.

Usually when people complain about license transfer though they talk about not having it hooked up to the internet or lugging it around the house. All I was saying was that I couldn't really relate to that since to me game consoles are like DVD players. You install them, hook everything up, and that's it. I think I often underestimate how many kids are on this board. When I was young I probably would have been lugging it to other rooms or even other houses all the time so that makes sense too.

Whoa, thanks for the heads up. This is even much more convenient, I've got a fairly large thumb drive (16gb) so I can transfer everything in one fell swoop pretty much. Saved a huge amount of time, thanks :D

Oh wow I am surprised, really smaller! Now I hope it runs quiet and does not brake for real. Are there any impressions?

Posted earlier but with it reading from the disc it sounds like the old 360 with the disc installed. With the disc installed it sounds like nothing. As for whether or not it bricks...well I hope I never find out.

You can use trade-in credit (as long as its from Gamestop) on the site as well. That is what I did.

How does that work? The stores I visited today said that the slim had to be in the transaction for the price bumps to be in effect.
Is it possible for them to take the trade-in and apply it to an online order and have that shipped to your home?

I already have enough blue glowing lights in my room that make it hard to sleep, that's the last thing I need. Also it's really weird not seeing the power symbol in the middle of the right of light. It's there, but it's just a frosted image over a green dot that isn't very apparent.
