Slimmer xbox a month away!!

Before you buy anything, google to check there's not a new model coming out.
The number of people I've seen recently saying "Oh, I only bought a 3GS iPhone last week and now they've launched iPhone 4".. Should have checked!

Anyway, as long as the one you have works and does what you expected to do when you bought it, what's the problem?

you mean the PS3 or WII doesnt risk scratching a disc, if you do the same?

No, they don't. There have also been reports of the 360 doing this without being nudged. It's apparently down to the 360 not having some kind of pads in the drive, that the other consoles have.

They've been doing 250gb hard drives for at least 6 months. I got one myself a super elite (from what i remember thats what it is called) Around mid-December.

Got a good deal for it too from Tesco.com.....super elite console, 2 controllers, 2 headsets, network adapter, MW2, forza 3, 13months of live and i'm sure there was something else i'm forgetting.

It has lost quite a bit of its value (trade-in wise) where my ps3 is worth near enough the same as they are to buy brand new (although it didnt cost me anything as i won it )

yes im aware they have been doing 250gb hard drives in the xbox's, i just said that the new style has a 250gb hard drive in it

Just meant it was a pity you know, i never would expect a free one. Thats just life.
I think ill wait and see if theres any good trade in offers but if not i will be satisfied with the elite.

Pay £100 for the new Xbox when you trade it in.

Although its not online so not sure if you will get it on release date of anything.

Thanks for the link but i dont understand why the 20Gb and 60Gb PRO consoles are getting more money when they are inferior to the elite console which has a 120Gb Hard drive.

EDIT--sorry stupid mistake, its the price you pay that is shown not the trade in value.
