Good replacement for old systems.
I recently lost my second Xbox 360 to the RROD. Unfortunately, MS would not replace it because it was no longer covered under warranty. I decided to replace it with this bundle mainly because I wanted the larger hard drive. I also wanted two of the new controllers with the "improved" d-pads. Of course, I also wanted MW3 so this bundle made a lot of sense.
These new slim models are supposed to have a better thermal design and be more reliable. Given my experiences with the RROD, I'll believe this when I have a 360 that lasts more than 1.5 years without repair. The new system does appear to vent heat better than the old ones. There's a massive fan above the processor that vents heat through a large opening in the case.
Regarding the new controllers: The new d-pad does not completely solve the issues that the old controllers had. It does improve input, but only slightly. The raised configuration provides a little more tactile feedback to the user so that...
Recommend to anyone that wants to upgrade their console.
I just got this yesterday at midnight. And it was awesome just looking at the case. When you open it, it comes with the really cool looking console with MW3 stuff painted all over it (very cool). Also it comes with two contollers that also have MW3 stuff painted all over it (as seen on picture). The back of the controllers are just black and at first i didnt like the controllers much but then once i started playing with them it was awesome. The console itself is very cool with all the MW3 stuff on it. And it also makes this really cool robotic/techno sound when you put your finger on the power button and the open/close button. Of course this package comes with the game and also as a bonus it comes with one month free live gold card and also headphones for when you are playing live. As for the game itself. I was only able to get through part of the campaign since i just got it. But so far it is pretty awesome.Graphics are much better then the other COD games. And also there are some...

The MW3 Console:
Received it yesterday (yes, it was only 11/7) took it out of the box and was totally impressed with the look. The graphics are high quality, they look painted on, not a cheap sticker. There is chrome trim around the top and bottom (on the sides when mounted horizontally) and the power button is chrome. The controllers match and also look awesome, there is a chrome D pad. I am upgrading from a 2006 360 which had the wireless adapter, the new model is smaller and much more modern looking, it also has built in wireless and HDMI which is a huge improvement. I plugged it in and turned it on and there is a cool metallic sound effect when you turn it on and when you open the tray, I really like this effect. The open/close button for the tray is not really a button, you just need to lightly touch the area and it senses your finger and opens.
The MW3 game:
Obviously I havent had a lot of time to play the game to this point but, the look and feel of the...
