A 360 slim or similar

Hello,

I just want to say that I really like the 360, but a lot of hate builds towards the RROD.

PS3 was a year less on the market, and the released the slim. How about a 360 slim or similar?

I just checked 360 price and it was $300 , just as much as a ps3, but the ps3 has a bluray player AND a wifi, not to mention more options. They managed to cut prices and put out a stable dependable hardware.

Why wouldn't Microsoft release something similar? It has less hardware and DVD-drives are so easy and reliable to make now days. How about a better looking and a stable 360?

Why do they insist on making all consoles RROD? I know the newer ones are less likely to get it but they still do. Maybe they should get rid of that brick too

What do you think?

Microsoft never has/will do a slim. It's a gimmick to move more consoles, and it's more of a fail-safe idea when things aren't going their way.

besides, the 360 external design looks far better and it's the same size as the PS3 slim. Even Fat PS3 owners seem to hate on the slim, being it lacks BC and they find it more 'ugly' I guess.

now the PS2 slim was a marvel, because it was actually what it was said to be.

lol, their goal isn't to save the consumer money/power on their electric bill with the slimline.

I don't even understand why it's called the slim.

Well, yes it is now PS2 caliber in size. I just don't understand why MS should do slimlines when that's not their thing, and never will be. Especially when the 360 is roughly the same size.

I call it a gimmick because I feel they like to use this as a fail-safe to move consoles when things aren't going their way. There's nothing particularly WRONG with it, of course. Power savings for the consumer still isn't their goal, from what I can tell, but removing the power brick and cutting it from 400 to 220 is the only real impressive thing about it.

Otherwise, it just isn't 'slim' like the PS2, but of course that is literally an impossible feat. I guess it sounds like I'm being nitpicky over a terminology now.

360 just doesn't need a slim, and "I don't agree with TC" would have summed it up in the first place.;)

I hope to god not i like my 360 i have a full body sticker on it, i dont want a slimmer model when they dont need to slim the model, they didn't need to slim teh ps3 down they could have done all they did in the current ps3 case they slimmed it down to spur sales that all slimming something down is ever done for.

as for that the models of the ps3 to get price down, and slim it down were ps2 playback something i got a 60 gig at launch for.

No no no no. You have it all wrong. The ps3 slim is MUCH slimmer than the Xbox360. You are completely forgetting about the HUGE external power block, which the PS3's have internally. Sooo....

this does not equal....

. In fact the PS3 phat is slimmer than the 360. I own both systems and this is the honest to god truth.

They need to fix RROD before releasing a new model.vashkey

I think the design of the Xbox 360 is quite a nice one. If they made a slim version it would lose its appeal. The Original PS3 tried to be stylish, and the glossy finish is nice, but it really is an abomination. My opinion of course.
