The Xbox 360 S is pretty good. It really is whisper-quiet, which by itself is a big step up from older 360s. The built-in wireless adapter is a boon as well. Then there's the cool touch-sensitive buttons, the 250 Gig memory (one of the main reasons I upgraded, my old model was one of the pre-2008 20 Gig ones). It's also supposed to be better able to tolerate heat and long running times; should it get too hot, the Slim is designed to shut down automatically before it damages itself, unlike previous models.

If there are any downsides, it's that the gloss-finish casing attracts dust and fingerprints, and the touch-sensitive buttons may be a little too sensitive (don't nudge the console's buttons in the middle of a game).

Otherwise, the Slim feels like the 360 that Microsoft should have released to begin with.
