Anyone try out ilomilo yet? I really dug the demo I might pick it up for only 800 points.

So my sister is potentially in the market for a 360 (slim version) and was wondering if the new "slim" 360's are more reliable than the older ones.

 

[El Skutto]

They pretty much ironed out most of the technical problems that caused the RRoD with the last generation of Xbox 360, so they should be pretty reliable. I know they're considerably quieter than any of the previous versions as well.

Coupled with the standard two-year warranty that Microsoft offers on all new Xboxes, I'd say you shouldn't have any worries at all.

 

[Shropt]

Just make sure to buy one with a harddrive and not the onboard memory. I heard the systems with onboard memory can have problems with older games that require a harddrive. Essentially the older games don't see the onboard memory as a harddrive and will refuse to work.

Not a major problem.

 

[El Skutto]

Agreed. A harddrive is an absolute must.

 

[Macularius]

To bad it will become obsolete in 3 years time.

I LAUGH AT YOU

 

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

You laugh at someone who is banned and can no longer get your message. Awesome.

Hopefully somehow, somewhere, I made his ears ring a little bit...

Good to know.

I think she's mainly just interested in the $200 version. I have a question though, if my current 360 (fat arcade version) ever craps out on me and I replace it with a slim, is there anyway to transfer my saved data from my old fat 360 to the newer slim version?

You can transfer between hard drives only once and you have to have a transfer cable and disc. Microsoft was giving them away for free on the Xbox website when I got one years ago.

EDIT:

Apparently you have to buy them now for $20 and you can transfer from a regular 360 to a regular 360 or a 360 slim but not between two 360 slims:
