What are the differences between the new Xbox 360 slim console systems? How do you decidebetween 4GB and 250GB? In this particular review I highlight for you the differences between the two consoles and what you should put into consideration when buying the Xbox 360 4GB or 250GB.
One of the main differences is the amount of hard disk space available for your use. The 250GB version of the box has got more storage space for your DLC contents thanthe 4GB version. The 4GB versionhowever allows you to add two external hard drives(each 16GB in size).
Due to the size restriction associated with owning a 4GB console, you might experience all of one of the following issues:
1. Problems installing video game titles that require more than one disc to the console (because the size of the discs).
2. Issues downloading DLC contents such as game demos, full retail games (bear in mind that the you do not actually have 4GB free space available from the onset because some of the disk space would havebeen taken up by the installation of the operating system).
3. Regular improvements released by Microsoft in order to patch the box will reduce the available space overtime.
4. You might end up with a lot of bad video game discs as the new boxes are prone to causing your discs to scratch.
Another difference is in the finishing of the box. The 250GB version of the box has a shinny black finish while the 4GB version of the system is a black matte case. The design of the 250GB system makes the box to beeasily smeared with dirt which all perfectionist will have an issue with however this canhelp you make up your mind when choosing 4GB or 250GB.
Both consoles comes bundled with the Kinect and both have a Built-in Wifi. The 4GB version of the box will also be able to do virtuallyevery other thing that the 250GB version can do (stream music, videos, connect to Xbox Live etc.).
Apart from these dissimilarities mentioned above, there is not much differences between the 4GB and 250GB console systems. Buying the 4GB version of the box will no doubt save you money however the system is ideal for casual users of Xbox Live.
