New Xbox 360 Slim

So this baby came in the mail today and..

Well to be honest theres not much of a difference, the only thing i have noticed so far is that it DOES NOT come with HD/AV cables, only AV, which means ugly looking graphics on my hdtv, so i have to dish extra money for hdmi or hd cables.

On the plus side it has a built in 250gb hdd, the sounds it makes when it turns on and off are pretty cool, it takes up less space, and thats about it. The only other difference there is really is that its Kinect Ready, i have no idea what that means but im sure all i have to do now is buy the sensor, whereas with the old xbox i probably would have had to buy some type of add-on thing to stick in it for the sensor to work with it. Which would suck because the old one only had 3 usb ports overall.

The nice thing about the new one is that it has 4 usb ports in the back and 2 in the front, but it seems kind of pointless because you don't need to use half the USB ports anymore, i excpected better microsoft, its 2010 and it comes without any HDMI let alone HD cables at the least?

Oh well.

Playstation 3

So i'm sitting at lunch right, and this kid goes, who wants to buy a PS3 for $60, and i'm like fuck i do, so i get his number and call him up and go to his house and the ps3 works perfectly, he gave it to me with motorcross and a controller, so here i am, with a fully functional george forman grill ps3 and i only paid $60 for it. Well fuck, i got lucky as shit.

Why you shouldn't get the Xbox 360 Halo: Reach Slim Bundle

Because you can already get a brand new controller on eBay for less than $50, you don't have to pay more tax, you can't find them anywhere in stores so you have to buy it online and have to pay for shipping and wait for it to get to you so you won't be able to play it on the day it comes out. You can buy a brand new xbox 360 for 300 at any store, if you buy from eBay there is no tax and you get about $7 ebay bucks, from best buy you get a $5 gift card from rewards.

Umm, well if you have the money by all means if you want it buy it but. these are some reasons i won't be getting it. Because i don't have the money for it lol, but i don't really need the extra controller anyway. Besides i've had a white console all these years i don't want another eye sore.

The reach design isn't all that great either.

Conclusion:

If you really like Halo and you have the money buy it, if your scraping bits of money from here and there to be able to barely afford it, don't. Remember an Xbox is an Xbox, it still plays the same way, technically its worth $410 because it comes with 2 controllers but technically not, because you can get one for $40 on ebay and stuff, brand new and all.

But I have until sept. 14 to make my decision. :)

Why you should get the Xbox 360 Halo: Reach Slim Bundle

If your planning to buy a new Xbox 360, and even if you don't want Halo: Reach, you could sell it for full price on eBay, you also get TWO controllers, each worth $50, thats over $450 worth of products for only $399.

Not to mention its Limited Edition so your Xbox will be unique.

Xbox Live Price Change

Microsoft is raising it's xbox live subscription fee to 9.99/ month. 24.99/ 3months. 59.99/ 1year.

Existing members have until October 30 to buy a year subscription with a 30% discount of the old price ($39.99). You should take advantage of this cheap deal before things get expensive.

About the price I usually buy it on eBay anyway. But I'm gonna do that soon because I don't feel like paying 60$ for live. Price lift is bullshit but oh well. I'll be locked in for the next 2 years, hopefully by then the price goes back down.
