The Slim is a nice upgrade from the older style Xbox, but note that if you currently have a "Jasper" 360, the Slim 360 is not any quieter at all, except when playing from a disc (if game isn't installed). So if you don't install games it's quieter, but otherwise not. I was a little disappointed in that, but otherwise it has some nice improvements.

I could truthfully care less haha. Anything is an improvement over what I have to deal with right now. If I accidentally close the disk tray without a game in it I have to bang on the top at least 3-4 times because the disk tray gets jammed. It's weird, I don't understand why it prevents jamming when a disk is in but it does!

That's a different matter altogether. LOL.

Has anyone tried out Minecraft? Just remembered it's out already on XBLA!

Edit: My bad, looks like the release date is the 9th. No wonder the internet hasn't been exploding on the topic yet.

Anyone join any of the 500x lobbies on Battlefield 3?

They last FOREVER! (and they are really, really fun)

My kids are going to buy Minecraft 360 on Wednesday. They are excited! I've never gotten into it myself, but with 4 player splitscreen I'll certainly play it with them and maybe I'll get hooked.

Minecraft is nearly out now in aus... But I don't have the money on me. /:

Haha yea, part of the reason why I had a (renewed) interest in getting an Xbox was to play MC: XB360 Edition and Black Ops with my foreign friends. Sometimes we play on the PC, but she doesn't have a good PC.

I might be in the minority here, but I hope this is a sign of local splitscreen multiplayer making some sort of comeback for consoles. I can't remember the last time I've a game from this current generation have that feature. Seems like now all you see is games with a short single player campaign and an online multiplayer component.

There's other games that have splitscreen. I think even CoD MW3 has splitscreen, doesn't it? What's rarer is 4 player splitscreen. Love seeing that and it makes so much sense for HD consoles.
