The newest member is an increasingly long line of the Xbox family, the Xbox 360 S -which stands for Slim- is smaller, lighter and less prone to hardware failures - the red rings of death.At first glance he Xbox 360 S is very aesthetically pleasing with matte-effect plastic arranged in angular positions.The packaging seems rather excessive because every cable is encased in a plastic packaging, and the actual console has a foam handle wedged onto the top to aid you in removing it from the cardboard box.

The console is extremely easy to plug in and set up which only requires plugging it into a suitable power source, and to be connected to a TV. Two buttons are located on the console for turning the console on and off , and for ejecting the disk tray with both buttons only being operable if there is enough heat emanating from the object that comes into contact with the sensors.

Several more handy features include:


SLOT FOR AN EXTRA HARD DRIVE

there is a removable panel on the bottom of the console that, when removed, shows a port for an extra memory drive to be inserted. You can also insert the Hard Drives from the normal Xbox 360s into these slots by unscrewing the casing on the drive ,removing the SATA drive and placing it into the port.


BUILT IN WI-FI ROUTER
The newest console in the family eliminates the need for buying an extra USB router for playing on the Xbox LIVE , using the social media applications, and using the Marketplace to download game add ons because there is a built in antennae for Wi-Fi signals.

EXTRA USB PORTS
In the back of the console there is an additional four USB ports alongside the standard two on the front. These ports may be used for buying individual USB pen drives to use for storing data.

NO RED RINGS OF DEATH
The geniuses at Microsoft have changed something in the hardware which prevents the hardware failures that plagued the original Xbox 360 Consoles



I would recommend this console to anyone who likes the feel of the Xbox controller and wants to play some titles that are only available to the Xbox System ie: the Halo franchise
