Got my new slim yesterday. Had an Xbox 360 since launch, but GameStop was doing a great deal for original Xbox 360 for trade-in, so I bit the bullet on a slim. Bought the 4GB model, and a 320GB HDD for $299, paid $60. Not bad really.
The disc drive is supposed to make a more abrupt clicking noise when reading discs compared to the original, right? Not worried, just curious. Also, the console's cute noises caught me off guard as a nice touch, and I am shocked at how small this thing is. A huge improvement in design. Lastly, I can't hear the thing if a disc isn't spinning. Have I really been missing out on this much silence all this time?
