This limited offer also includes a copy of the game Halo: Reach, two custom-designed Xbox 360 wireless controllers and a 250GB hard drive. Available for a limited time.
Awesome platform - a definite improvement
My Pro was getting old, slow, and loud. Having to reallocate memory as DLC, arcade games, and save files accumulate on the 20 GB HDD was getting old, too. So my love to the Halo universe to convince me that things are lined up so I could upgrade in style with new Halo: Reach bundle.
Overall, fantastic console. Click Here to find out where to buy Halo Reach Consoles
LOOKS:
Stylish silver matte coating with gray and black Halo-themed decorations sprinkled over it. Does not retain finger prints (know this was a big issue a lot of people over-exaggerated with the other 360-S's -- though why you're fondling your 360 after you get it set up is unclear to me). Controllers of this game looks very good, too - I love the new look very much. New power block (downsized from the clunky original "brick") is black and more aesthetically streamlined.
PERFORMANCE:
Loads quickly, smoothly, and without problems. This becomes not just what should be. Have not tried the wireless yet, as I used a wired connection. Controllers respond very well (though it might just be that I'm used to old/worn controllers). Standard headset mic still requires you to yell into it, but if you don't have to worry about keeping your voice down, it works just fine.
HEAT MANAGEMENT:
Console itself stays pretty cool for such a device. The S's new heat sink system appears to whisk away most of the heat from the internal components and out the vents, presumably keeping the CPU, GPU, and other chipsets cooler.
**NOTE: I've read a lot of reviews complaining the S runs hotter than the original. This is not accurate. The air coming out of the console is hotter. This means more heat is being expelled and that less heat is trapped inside the console, meaning what matters - the temp of your hardware - is staying cooler.
NOISE:
Runs whisper-quiet. I played it for 7-8 hours straight (judge if you will - I was just, you know, testing the hardware =P), stayed consistently quiet the entire time.
Overall, again, great console. I'm quite happy with this purchase.
Plus the game made it that much better. Quite simply the best Halo game since Halo: CE (Reach is now the king of the Halo games, offering the most gameplay features, co-op opportunities, fearsome and unpredictable AI, game options/customization, sexy visual/audio experience, replayability, character variety, and overall value ever in a Halo game).
