So I managed to find somewhere nearby that had the new xbox 360 s in stock so I drove over and picked one up. This new model supposedly has fixed the red ring of death issue that plagued the early models and it incorporates the hdmi port of the elite and now has built-in wireless. Having had to replace 3 xbox’s due to red ring of death to get rid of that would be great.
So I fired up the new redesigned xbox and I have to say I’m impressed it’s really improved. The thing lasted all of 30 minutes then the dvd drive failed and wouldn’t open or close. So I guess it’s going back to the shop tomorrow fingers crossed they have another one in stock.
I’d also forgotten how cheap Microsoft are the top of the line console comes with nothing but the most basic cables no hdmi no component just composite. The don’t even put in rechargable batteries for the wireless controllers.
It’s miserly.
