I received my Xbox 360 Slim 250GB console that I ordered on Amazon on June 16th today via FedEx. From what I can see it is smaller than the previous 360 body/casing, has one major fan on the "top" (sitting horizontally), and has a very nice, glossy black finish. I was confused at first where the new HDD is located, but it is on the side under one of the vent looking structures. It comes out very easy. I haven't attempted to play it yet as I am waiting for the tranfer cable I ordered to come in. This more than doubles my HDD, so I'll be able to store many more games to it, making the disc wear and tear nearly non-existent. By the way, I've never had a disc scratched by my old 360 except when I accidently tripped on my cord controller. The 360 doesn't scratch disc - this only happens if you happen to be clumsy enough (like I was) or thick-skulled enough to move your console while a disc in in play. A warning sticker-label ever comes on the Xbox 360 S that says not to move the console while a disc is inside it. I'm sure it will work like a charm. The included wireless is pretty cool, I was good on Microsoft to catch up to the norm (and the Wii) in that respect. I spent too much money on the wireless adapters in the past. It also has all standard ports and 5 USB ports, so you can have up to an EXTRA 80GB (for 330GB total) storage for your Xbox 360 S console. I can't wait to have a quiet Xbox to play on!
I decided to keep my old Xbox 360 Pro to use as a backup and as a DVD player in the main room. I've had it for a year and a half and it works fine still. Be sure to keep your Xbox 360 console in a well-ventilated area.
Be aware that there is another, $199 Xbox 360 Slim coming out this fall. Not many details have come out on it yet, but it may be an entry-level product and will probably have a smaller HDD.Get more detail about Xbox 360 250GB Elite Console.
