So maybe my 360 is just awesome.

The problem is not with using devices over 16gb; it's being able to store more than 16gb of data on the devices.

Microsoft's decision is pretty understandable though, since they profit from HDD's and people do keep on buying them, whereas Sony sees no incentive to produce proprietary mass storage.

Yea, but I don't understand why they wouldn't sell hard drives, then.

Yeah, it's greedy, but it's understandable. I wish they were cheaper though.

I prefer the look of the matte 360 slim. The 250GB slim looks awful. Looks almost as bad as the original PS3 and just as much of a dust/fingerprint magnet. I still think the Elite is the best looking 360 so far.

I just don't understand why they didn't release a 60GB slim as the basic model. It's fucking retarded.

Yes, that's what this entire thread has been about. The 'slim' Arcade is matte, rather than the cheap tacky gloss that is the 250GB 'slim' 360.

Lol. I'm glad someone gets what I'm saying.

Glossy finishes are horrible, especially glossy black finishes. They look great until you happen to glance at them too hard and they become a giant dusty smudgy mess.

Agreed. They also seem to attract dust more. I'm forever dusting my PS3 down. However my 360 Elite sat next to it just has the HDD wiped off and smudges rubbed off the disc tray and that's it. I'm sick of cleaning my bloody PS3...
