Question About The "New" 360 Consoles

Simple answer is no you can’t.

The HDD housing is completely different and therefore incompatible.

Wow, that is completely stupid. I freaking hate Microsoft. I wish there was any other system that could compare to 360 because I would go with that. It looks like I'm going to have to pay $300 for my 5th 360. I seriously can't believe they made hardware that isn't compatible with the same system later on in it's life. I feel so cheated. :(

To be fair the Xbox 360 S would have looked rather retarded with an old 360 hard drive slapped on top.

You could always buy a cheap 16GB USB stick instead, use that for storage and buy a HDD later.

The cheapo Xbox 360 S also has 4GB of built in flash memory too.

BUT they are supposed to be more reliable, I got one a couple of weeks ago (the 250 GB one) so we'll just have to wait and see.

You could always sell the old HDD on ebay to make up some of the extra cash. Oh, and don't forget, you'll have to buy the transfer cable to get the data from the old HDD to the new one.

I think it's stupid that they don't offer the option to even buy the old system anymore. I have to go out of my way after buying 4 consoles of theirs to sell my HDD on eBay to make up the difference? In no way is that fair at all. I agree it would look stupid on the new console, but I really don't care how it LOOKS. And...the fact it has 4GB of internal memory is a joke. With the 4GB of memory and a 16GB memory stick that is only 20GB on memory...that is what the original Xbox 360's HDD was...that is why I bought the 120GB HDD in the first place.

Microsoft is getting ridiculous with there money grubbing from there consumers. Like I said, I wouldn't buy any other system besides 360, I just can't believe they would do something like this. It's like if they started releasing new games and said, "oh, sorry, those new games only work on the NEW 360, sorry", they should just release a new system instead of making there hardware incompatible between model years.

Ignore EDDS op, u can use the old hdd in the new "slims". u just have to take out the hdd from the case and call MS for a caddy. i have done it about 5 times for myself and a few mates

Really? If you could give me anymore details on what I have to do to do this. So I buy the new slim, then I call Microsoft and tell them what? And is this something you can do without breaking the warranty? Like you don't need any special tools or anything? Sorry if this sounds stupid, I just have no experience with the slims, never seen on in person except at the store.

Thanks.
