I am more than happy with my new Xbox 360. I have owned every system from Arcade-Elite Xbox 360,PS3, Wii (yuck) and have never been more pleased.
To start, this thing isn't simply quieter its freakin silent. I too was extremely annoyed with the sound of the fan especially from my Elite, it always sounded like something was broken, but during games you tune it out,but browsing the dashboard or playing quiter games with no shooting and explosions it was a real pain, Don't dare try to watch a movie with it. But Not with this new console, It was like going from a loud old car to a smooth sleak hybrid. I plugged it in and both my wife and my mouth dropped from how quiet it was. We couldnt believe it was on.
As to the finger print haters...Have you bought anything new lately? Thats what everything looks like now. Every new TV, Blu Ray player, heck even my fridge catches finger prints. Welcome to the future! If you spend the money take care of your stuff and youll be fine.
One thing I didn't know before I bought it was the new touch disk tray! I know it seems trivial, but it is really cool. I was staring at it wondering "where the heck is the open disck button on the actual console" Just before I got concerened that the only way to open it was through the dash board, i touched the disk tray and WoW it opened. Everything I have is touch now, so that blends in well.
The console is smaller, but not bite size compared to the older model. More like a small cable box (if you have comcast new hd boxes)
Wait, I cant close this review with out stressing how Extremely easy the WiFi was to configure. My router and modem is two floors up, so I normally have a hard time connecting and going through my security. I'm no engineer but over time I've tought myself how to deal with my own wireless network, so i can solve my own connection problems, and was prepared to do so when setting this up. I'm telling you my Grandma could set up your wireless network on this thing. As long as you have your ID and password it does all the other work for you,which is Genius. I was really bummed out at the thought of having to reconfigure the new xbox, but was very pleasantly suprised.
The whole set up from choosing the language, hooking up wirelessly and downloading my gamertag from Live took less than 15min and I think thats too generous of a time line.
Can't wait for Kinect! Xbox is by far the most user friendly,technically advanced and overall awesome gaming system out there. Get it, enjoy it and have fun!
By the way, I did have to transfer hard drives when the Elite came out. It was a fairly painless process. Just go to [...] and look in the support section. They'll give you step by steps. It was a while ago, but i don't remember loosing anything during the transfer.
