In theory this seems fine, but if you repeatedly pull out your hard drive and transport it between multiple Xboxes- which WILL eventually happen- then the cord will wear down. The hard drive is located behind a panel on the side, but to remove the drive itself, you pull on a fabric tab that in turn releases a button to unlatch the hard drive. It is still removable though, but that presents a problem in itself. Where on the previous version it was located on the side, the new version puts the hard drive inside the console. Part of that is due to the fact that the hard drive design has been totally remodeled. It is not a huge difference, but it does feel more compact. In terms of size, the new 360 is smaller than the original by roughly an inch and a half to two-inches. One minor drawback of the new casing is that the shine of the casing is also extremely prone to gathering fingerprints and smudges. The same is true for the tray, as the button has been moved from the side, and placed above. There is even a sound to indicate that the command was accepted.
Where the old model had a button that needed to physically be pressed, the new 360 buttons are touch sensitive and require no pressure. The matte colored exterior has been replaced with a glossy black casing, and a concave indention that comes to a point at the power button, which has also been redesigned. It is actually classified as the new Xbox 360, so we will call it that. Many have been calling it the Xbox 360 Slim, but technically that is a misnomer, as it is a replacement for the 360, not an alternative. In answer, Microsoft has followed suit and released a new model, with new features that allow it to compete with the PS3.

The more things are manufactured, the cheaper they become, and as the PS3 has dropped in price without sacrificing its features, its sales have quickly risen. Price was definitely one of- if not THE- major factors in giving the 360 a commanding lead on the PS3 from the start. At the time, it seemed like a great move, as the PS3’s price put it out of reach of most gamers and where areas the additional add-ons for the Xbox 360 could be purchased anytime. When the Xbox 360 originally debuted against the Sony PlayStation 3, it did so with somewhat similar hardware, but several less bells and whistles. New bundles have come out, hard drives for consoles have jumped in capacity exponentially, and there is even a black model of the 360 out there, but at its core the console has remained the same in terms of design. It has been four and a half years since the original Xbox 360 was released on November 22, 2005.
