I can't believe they're only offering 4gbs. Can't even do something in the 20s? 4GBs is barely enough for one install and a demo or two.]]>Jul 20th 2010 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/Jul 20th 2010 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/Not worth it. ]]>Jul 20th 2010 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/
4Gb? Seriously? Not even 20?

Will it max out usb storage like it is now?

So how much could I put towards the "New Xbox" (thanks Fox Con, lol) if I were to trade in my 250GB MW2 Edition Xbox, and 2 controllers?

Add my voice to those that say the New 360 Slim is AMAZING! That is the 250GB version....]]>Jul 20th 2010 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/It's cool how everyone always responds to the first comment only.

But in other news, this is a great move for Microsoft. They've got the most affordable console on the market. This will be great for people have been holding out the past few years.]]>Jul 20th 2010 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/
4GB, what year is this? A 160GB laptop drive is $34, a 500GB is $60. This isn't even bulk pricing. Why not just go back to $40 memory cards if you're going to pretend storage is expensive?]]>Jul 20th 2010 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/I like how it's a "shiny new xbox" with a "matte finish".

if you don't move your console, you can just buy the arcade and go that route until 3rd party cases for HDD arrive....

Wait, matte finish? Even though they gimped the storage, it may be worth it for some who didn't want the shiny so much. The only problem is we know we'll get raped on the stand alone hard drive, lol.]]>Jul 20th 2010 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/
It's not a HDD, it's flash storage. That's why. Faster storage for less space.]]>Jul 20th 2010 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/

I was looking forward to getting the lower down model. Don't think I'll bother now. I might just pick up an old Elite model. I'm getting so tired of how expensive gaming has gotten as well as how long you have to wait for decent games to ship.]]>Jul 20th 2010 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/its only 4gb so that your more willing to pay for the 250Gb or buy a bigger hardrive at there store. To let you guys know its actually only about 2GB.
I got my new slim from costco and the hardrive space with the xbox sku it was like 248Gb. then you have to get those GAME UPDATES so now your down to 1Gb. its not worth it guys get a 250Gb or stick with a normal 360]]>Jul 20th 2010 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/
Well, there goes my hope of owning a Kinect; that price is highway robbery. $100 would be the limit; this is only a good deal for someone getting the bundle. As a current 360 owner, I'll pass until the price drops.]]>Jul 20th 2010 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/Jul 20th 2010 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/
Well, at least it's an infinite percent higher than the current Arcade version with 0GB...

I guess...]]>Jul 20th 2010 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/It doesn't matter.

Unfortunately they take them all in as the same (just an Xbox360), hard drives trade in seperate. I believe the current trade in value is $60. They sometimes run extra credit for consoles. A couple weeks ago it was an extra $25.]]>Jul 20th 2010 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/

Really I don't see the 4gb as an issue as really from a cost effectiveness perspective we can now use -ANY- external storage device for the X-box 360. I must have over 500 gigs of random flashdrives just laying around and nevermind the 2 terabyte airdrive I have in the house ad nauseum.
Why pay microsoft too much money for 250gb of space?

Oh wait, hell I think I'll just buy this right now to go with my non-annoyingly-shiny arcade model new xbox 360 because I'm not a slave to microsofts crappy marketing.

Remember guys, the 4 Gigs is FLASH memory. That means that it's internal, without a hard drive. It's better than the 256 MB card that you got from the original 360 Arcade.]]>Jul 20th 2010 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/new-xbox-360-4gb-ships-august-3rd-for-199-kinect-standalone-pr/

Exactly what I'm thinking. They have the wii in the crosshairs with the arcade version. The wii has only 512mb on board.

Yeh mate I was upgrading from the very first xbox 360 model, the one with the white disk tray.

I think you all are missing the point. The article stated that this new model will have 4GB flash memory and did not state anything about the HDD capacity.
