Lad's, I starting off a new thread for all who only purchased & have used the new XBOX. Please post your initial opinions so that others thinking of buying can help decide if it's worth investing in. I'll be posting mine tomorrow...

I picked one up today and I'm pretty impressed with it. While I was connecting the cables, I hit off the power button and didn't even realise it was on, it was so quiet.

To connect to an Elite or older the kinect will need a seperate main's connection I think.

Hey dodohert, where did you get it for €223.98 if you don't mind me asking.

Yep. One of the main reasons I upgraded was because of the noise. It's silent. My tv is louder FFS!!

Sh!t, now I want a new TV.

put a deposit down on mine, I'm trading in an Xbox arcade with 60 gb hardrive detachable extra, so instead of paying 250 euro for the new xbox i'll be paying 168 euro.

Anyone get any better deals out there?
