Microsoft Responds to new XBox Slim Faults. Badly.

Jun 28, 2010

I bought a brand new 250GB Xbox 360 about four and a half minutes before Microsoft announced the new slim model. Yes, I was pissed, but at least it now looks like those of who smart enough to wait aren’t any less likely than I am to get a RRoD. Or the equivalent thereof, anyhow.

Microsoft recently confirmed that both the 120 Gb hard drive and the memory unit for the 360 are being phased out.
