Ugliest console, ever!

My current Xbox hasn't had any major problems, but it takes up a lot of space on my small desk. I had to feed a 50ft Ethernet cable upstairs and through some annoying cracks as well to get internet to it cause I wasn't paying that much for WiFi. But this, me wanty.

it seems replies are going all over the place.
"He also said if you use Natal with any 360 other than the Slim that it will require a seperate external power supply."
oh i see. the AUX port is basically a high-power USB port.

Yeah, exactly. On the Slim Natal can be powered and played from the console, on the old 360's it's powered from the wall.

I mean, it's kinda ugly, isn't it?

When I look at that picture all I can think is a resonating voice echoing through my house singing "Daisy, Daisy, tell me you love me do. I'm half crazy over the love of you." And then my appliances try and kill me.

You know...they could have just lowered the price on the 360 sooner, as I ended up buying one about a month ago; would have saved some money, used that towards a game. OR, I could have waited and bought the 2010/2011 360. And there's no trade in offer, either, (watch them start soon, though)save for the failure that is gamestop/eb games, wanting all of our games at horribly low trade value(I'm sorry, but our games mean nothing to them, I meant to say credit, though that makes it seem like they are worth anything to them as well.)
As for the renamed Natal, kinect sounds and now looks like pure crap, I'm reminded of water filtration systems every time I hear that failed rename. And wut @ the dance spaz and wii sports HD?

Moving to Argentina in about a month, really hoping you'll give one of these away as I need to save all the money that I can (assuming I win, of course).
Mad customs taxes on imported electronics as well but that $300 price point will see me paying nothing extra to take it with me.

Looks like a cheap POS from the back.
With the metal flashing visible around the ports?
Don't get me wrong, I like saving money and I'd put up with that (along with the ugliness in general), but it's even nicer when you can't look and immediately see the where the cost savings are impacting the aesthetics.

I certainly wouldn't mind one...*winks*

Being that I haven't been able to afford to get an XBox for quite some time, due to losing my job and not being able to get a new one (but being able to afford a GameFly subscription), thanks to the local economy, I'd be ecstatic if I won one of the new 360s.

Is it smaller than the first one?

@AdamVdEnde mhm, didn't you see the press conference? They surprised us by hiding it under the old "Fat" Xbox 360

I'll get this once my zombie 360 is permanently dead.

You should have a raffel based on the people who responded to this thread, and give me one for coming up with this idea.
