The new Xbox 360 is slimmer too, and shorter, with a more angular exterior. Xbox fans are already calling it the Stealthbox, and it’s not hard to see why. Switch on the new Xbox and it’s new moniker is even more appropriate. Compared to its predecessor, the new Xbox 360 is almost silent.
Microsoft has listened to the howls of displeasure gamers have been venting for years, and finally silenced the Xbox’s fans, although the new Xbox actually has more cooling than previous versions, with a tiny fan operating quietly inside the power supply brick itself.
The included wireless joypad has had its controls tweaked too. Gone are the grey buttons, replaced with sleeker black versions and a newly chromed Xbox logo. It’s a nice touch, and one that makes the new Xbox’s controller seem less dated.
The included headset has had a minor upgrade too, with a new connector, volume and mute button. The headset itself is just as lightweight and comfy as it always was.
Under the skin of the new Xbox, there are additions too. Wireless networking is now built in, with N-standard Wi-Fi impressing us with its abilities right out of the box. While our PS3 often struggles to hook up to our wimpy wireless network, the Xbox hopped right aboard, instantly offering to pull down our details at the entry of a gamertag and password.
