what's up everyone John Rhett enger' from TechnoBuffalo here and I want to give you a head-to-head comparison of the two Xbox 360 models so on one hand we've got the new just announced a few days ago Xbox 360 I'm going to call the Xbox 360 slim on the other we've got the outgoing Xbox 360 which in this case is the black elite version so on that static standpoint there are clearly a ton of differences with how these two look on one hand the slim is shining it's black it's thinner it's got a new design on the other hand we've got the outgoing model was a bit understated it had the matte finish and it was sort of a classic design with you loved it or hated it your serve used to seeing it so it's sort of strange to see a brand new Xbox 360 model this one is significantly smaller lighter and thinner and let me go ahead and show you can see right here there's a big difference at the top when you show you what that looks like when your staff top of each other and I'll go over some of the more physical differences between the two look like put them right here and just off the top of the back you can see that there's definitely a difference this one is about an inch I would say there we go about an inch to an inch and a half a larger and that's probably due to the external hard drive that the outgoing model had in this case I've got 120 gigabyte version right here this hard drive just popped out and sort of protruded a bit on top you can see it right there the new one has an internal hard drive which is still user accessible but I got rid of this sort of proprietary format which is nice you can actually replace the hard drive if you choose let's go ahead and look at the front of the devices because there's a lot to talk about here so on the outgoing model the power button right down here is actually physical button you push it in and click the noise the tray would open up on the new mods actually touch sensitive so there's no physical click you tap it in the tray will open you had two memory units which you didn't have a hard drive you could pop in you know had a little bit of storage you could access Xbox Live that is gone on the new version those slots are not there you do have two USB ports on the bottom sort of recess they are still there two USB ports right on the front so just on the front you can definitely see different is you've got an IR sensor right there sort of hidden on the new version this one also the sort of riddled with vents vents are everywhere on this new Xbox 360 you've got vents on the side we've got vents on the top and serves in that whole day I know what vents on the other side and there's nothing on the back and speaking of the back let's talk about the differences here between the tubes there's a lot to discuss go ahead and put this one on back so you can see the outgoing model is sort of shy on ports it had USB port your Ethernet port HDMI port in some cases some of the older models didn't have that and that weird proprietary AV port and a very sure strange power port and that was about it that was all you had the new model has a bit more going on with that it's got a new power button or a new power port uses just sort of a two pronged approach you've got optical audio HDMI that same proprietary port Ethernet the new AV port which are going to be for the Kinect which is the motion sensor controller previously product and tall although all older Xbox 360s will be Kinect capable I assume them to be a little bit of an adapter and now three USB ports and if you want to go wireless none of these have to be used now with a wireless adapter this now comes with 802 11 n so if you have a wireless network using an N a very fast internet and very fast data transfers which is quite nice so one of the other gripes about the Xbox was the power brake was that it was huge power brick was gigantic and really lived up to its name as being a brick let me show you what that looks like and share comparison with new model got them right here so here is the outgoing Xbox power brick you can see very large and here's the new one still large but definitely smaller and actually uses a bit less power as well so one of the other knots on the Xbox was that it was quite loud you could hear the tray spinning you could hear the fans I'm going to go ahead and plug both of these in power Mon I'm going to see if we can hear difference between the table alright so I've got both consoles ready to go here we're going to start with the outgoing Xbox 360 elite there is not a disk installed I just wanted to hear what the normal boot up noise sounds like I'm going to go ahead and just turn this on you can definitely hear it sort of spinning you can hear the fans and then it sort of quiets down a little bit but it definitely has some noticeable noise behind it so we'll go ahead and turn this off and let's try the new one and see the differences here that's it that's all the noise it looks for a disc and it gets very quiet actually can't hear any sort of fan spinning at all so let's try putting a disc in and trying to hear what that sounds like I've got a few right over here so let's pop in how about Modern Warfare 2 we'll go ahead and open this up there's the eject button just another touch button right top you can hear it spinning and then it you can hit it fans with the kick in a little bit now one of the things you can do with the Xbox 360 is you can actually rip the games right to the hard drive so there's noise that you're hearing with the game I wouldn't necessarily hear after you ripped it but I do want you to sort of get a fair sense of what everything would sound like so that's what that sounds like it's certainly quieter than we've heard before and Matt I'll give you a demonstration of what it sounded like before so go ahead and turn this sucker off and actually I can feel it vibrating with my hands and I can feel the heat coming out and see the fan spinning but it is definitely quieter so get and turn this off and let's try the outgoing model and we will put in the disc as well I've got call of duty world at war here we'll try that so we'll turn it on often the discs and let's get the noise sounds like here so there is a noticeable difference with noise this is maybe about half as loud as the newer model you can definitely hear it but again once you rip the game to the hard drive it is pretty quiet so we'll go ahead and turn that off SOTA guys I wanted to give you just a quick overview in comparison about the outgoing versus the new Xbox 360 models and see if you thought it was worth an upgrade or not that's going to be your opinion here they are sort of next to each other you can get a last look about differences are how they appear so
