Well I wanted to give my impressions on the Xbox Slim.
I just got yesterday the Xbox 360 Gears 3 limited Edition slim system. I was reluctant to get the slim because I thought the OG Xbox 360 system looked better. Boy... was I wrong. First off I bought the 360 on launch day( midnight launch to be precise) and that thing was VERY loud. Of course eventually we were able to install games to the HD and that helped alot but it still had pretty loud fans.
So anyway this Gears 3 slim system just looks amazing, I watched alot of unboxings on youtube and the system just looks soo much better in person, it really does! Also the system with the games on the HD is VERY silent! I couldnt believe the difference, it was alot quieter then my brothers Jasper 360. Color me surprised.
The 320gb hd comes out to 292gb , so as usual lose some space because of the partition etc.
I highly recommend the Slim system, even to those that think the OG 360 looks better, especially the Gears 3 limited looks just flat out amazing!
Also I just want to say that the slim is alot quieter then the PS3 phat I had. Not sure if anyone else is sensitive to console noises but the slim is a HUGE improvement.
