However, now I have a killer reason to pick up one of the beautiful shiny black models. WIN!

Discussion about
My Xbox 360 (now out of warranty) recently went RROD. Normally, I would be very unhappy.
why not get the new one? the new one is better in practically every way and hopefully will get rid of the red rings once and for all (I say this every time they release updated xbox hardware!!)

I posted this on another discussion, but these are the biggies you gain and lose with the New Xbox 360:
gain HDMI (over first few editions)
gain SPACE (its not teeny like a PS2 Slim or Wii, but its still appreciably smaller)
gain a ton of hard drive space (250 GB vs whatever you got...)
gain wi-fi N
gain USB ports (5 vs 3)
lose........... NOISE
lose... (with any luck) ....... red rings!!!!!1

Fair enough. Except:
My 360 already has HDMI. I win
Space is not a problem on my TV stand. I spent $400 on it to ensure that ;). I win
HDD space? I barely use that as is. I win
GigE LAN at home. Only my DROID uses Wi-Fi by default. I win.
USB ports? Aside from using my keyboard to set up some stuff, I rarely have to even touch these. I win.
Noise? OK I'll give you one there. Older 360s aren't exactly silent. You win.
RROD? My 360 outlasted my PS3. No failures since I got it in Q3 2008. I win.
Don't take the "win" thing seriously, just keeping track of the points you made. Cheers!

yes - you win....
as for everyone else.......... :P
hard drive space on xboxes is overrated anyway.... it doesn't really affect gameplay in the slightest......
