The wrap on the New Xbox 360 4GB Core System from Microsoft

 

Ok guys and gals, 

Here is the wrap up on the new 360 4GB system. The system retails for $199.99 and is available for purchase now. This has the same slim design as the recent 250GB but rather than the piano finish it has a matte finish. Still has built-in WiFi, 5 USB ports, Kinect power support on board and same chip set. The difference is obviously the storage space. This core system has 16 times its predecessor's storage and is capable of supporting another two flash drives up to 16 gigabyte's each, for a total of 36gigs minus the system software that gives you a little over 33gigs of storage space for your game saves, demos and DLC. For under 200.00 bucks that's a pretty tempting deal. 

The forums are discussing the lack of storage for this new system and the inability to play your original XBOX games kind of sucks. But the word is out that the 250gb external drive from Microsoft is retailing at $129.99 that will connect to the bottom expansion port under the system case. But if your savvy we have heard about another solution. That's right folks Level Up Video Games will be your answer guys. It appears that there have been some reports of the ability to install the old HDD's from Microsoft on your system. The only catch your going to need some elbow grease and a couple of torque screw drivers to do this. Basically open the HDD case from your old drive and pull out the drive and drop it into your new system. From the reports we've read this appears to be working. Now you will have backward compatibility solved and if you p/u a cheap 20gb HDD or if you already have an old system drive than there ya go! We will be doing some testing really soon on this and let you know our results, but from my experience it makes sense that this will work.
