xg4bx Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) http://gamerdeals.net/blogs/videogamenews/archive/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4-gb-console-release-date-and-features-announced.aspx The new Xbox 360 4GB Console is set to ship on August 3, 2010 and replaces the previous Xbox 360 Arcade model. 4 GB internal memory Built in 802.11n Wi-Fi it's the new black design. 4 gigs might not sound like much but the previous arcade model came with 256mb. 4 gigs is plenty of space to download demos and whatnot. the fact that it's only $200 doesn't hurt either.

Austin Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Nice.. But there is not way for another HD to plug into these new Black systems, is there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Nice.. But there is not way for another HD to plug into these new Black systems, is there? That was my question as well. Although I guess since you can use 16GB USB memory sticks it wouldn't be a huge deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper_Eye Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 The hdd can be removed. You remove a panel and it has a pulltab. Watch at 3:00: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAPC3Ho1Lwo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xg4bx Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) Nice.. But there is not way for another HD to plug into these new Black systems, is there? yes but unfortunately it's proprietary. but like moycon said, you can use usb memory sticks now. edit-just did some research, any usb memory sticks up to 16 gigs will work. it doesn't have to be an "official" xbox one.

HammR25 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 This console plus Kinect will retail for the same price as the Elite. http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-4GB-Kinect/dp/B003O6EE4U/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1279720098&sr=1-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I just got myself one recently. Too bad the PS3 (my other choice) is still priced around $299. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafivehole Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 So, are you saying that if you got one of the $199 360 slim units, you could use a USB drive and it would then be backward compatible with the original X-Box games?!? Thanks, Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Roger With so much internal memory, I imagine you'd probably just be able to use the Xbox emulator directly off the onboard memory now.

dafivehole Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 It was my understanding that you "had" to have a hard drive for the BC games... Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 As I found out trying to get Fable: The Lost Chapters to run on my Xbox 360 Slim, it needs a hard drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 It was my understanding that you "had" to have a hard drive for the BC games... Roger That's correct, but they also didn't have 4 gigs of internal memory. Whose to say it won't work now? If the emulator is just looking for a certain amount of internal memory (Which there would be plenty of on this new arcade model), or Microsoft updates the emulator to recognize that this model has ample memory even without a HD to support it, I see no reason why it couldn't work.

dafivehole Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I've looked on the MS websites but can't find an answer... it's either not that important to them or (in their own way) they are giving me the answer that I seek :-( Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmel_andrews Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) I guess that means that you will only be able to stick about 3 to 4 dvd games/content onto the memory stick (given the stated size mem. stick you people mentioned) Does this mean then that publishers/developers are moving away from fixed media formats (dvd/blu ray) onto more portable media forms (mem. cards/sticks)...especially for this games system Edited September 8, 2010 by carmel_andrews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammR25 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I haven't found a single thing saying it's backwards compatible so I'd guess it isn't. If the console had that feature it would be touted by MS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
