The newest XBox model is really nice. It's very silent, and I love the new buttons which are just touch sensors. However, just be warned that while Darksiders 2 comes complete with box and manual, Arkham City is just a download code. For most people, that won't matter, but you should know what you're getting before you buy it.
Also, this XBox only includes the RCA red, white, and yellow cables. If you want to use an HDMI or component cable, you have to buy it separately.

I needed to replace one of my XBOX 360 S units and found this bundle on Amazon at a terrific price. The newer XBOX 360 E models have less connectivity options so the S models are still the ones to buy. The S has 5 USB ports, where the E has 4. The S was the last model to feature the "AV Connector". The E drops this port in favor of a separate HDMI port and composite (ugh) out port. The E also has no optical audio output. The E model hard drive is slightly easier to remove, although it is still only replaceable with official Microsoft replacements. The upcoming XBOX One will not be backwards compatable meaning it will not play any older games, a deal killer for me at least for the next 3-4 years as I have alot invested in XBOX 360 games and Rockband periphials. XBOX 360 WIFI works awesome, this bundle includes an extra controller which is a nice bonus as you can never have enough spares, trust me. I would recommend buying the rechargeable controller batteries as they seem to eat AA,s pretty fast. Kinect games are a good way to get a workout without investing in a bunch of equipment or gym memberships. Buying direct from Amazon has always worked out great for me with fast shipping and a no hassle return policy.Honest reviews on Xbox 360 S 250GB Spring Value Bundle
I replaced a 4-year old 360 Premium 20GB console with this 360 S 250GB version, and I'm thoroughly impressed. This new design does a fantastic job of cooling down the interior components, quickly loading games and apps, and the built-in wireless receiver is such a boon.Couple the benefits of the redesigned console with the fact that you receive a digital-download copy of Batman: Arkham City and a physical copy of Darksiders II, and it only gets better. I highly recommend this package!

I purchased the Xbox 360 Slim to replace my Xbox 360 Elite. To put it simply, I am blown away by how much Microsoft has improved the console. Firstly, it is way, way, way more quiet than the Elite. The comparison I use is that of a motorcycle running (the Elite) versus a motorcycle turned off (the Slim). Even when you're playing a game, the sound of the disc spinning in the drive and the hard drive scanning are quieter. It is just so quiet that if the ring were not illuminated, you might not know it was powered on. Secondly, it is smaller than the original 360. Numbers wise, the difference my be small but visually the size difference is huge. Thirdly, it has a matte black finish like the Elite. I thought all Slims had glossy black finishes so I was surprised to see it has the same finish as my beloved Elite. Fourthly, the power brick is now smaller as well. Also, there is no bright orange/amber light when you turn off the device. Fifthly, Wi-Fi is included with the Slim. You do not need to purchase an over-priced Wi-Fi dongle from Microsoft to access Xbox Live via wireless. And lastly, the hard drive is huge. After transferring my data from the Elite, I still had over 100 Gigs of space left on the Slim. All in all, the Xbox 360 Slim is practically a different device than the original Xbox 360 and Elite from all the improvements. If you're looking to upgrade from an original 360 or Elite then this is the way to go. If you're waiting for the One then I suggest you hang on to your money till November 2013.NOTE I was considering buying the similarly priced Xbox 360 E (the 360 that looks like the Xbox One) but decided against it after watching a review of it on Cnet.Com. In the review they showed the optical audio out was removed, that it is noisier than the Slim and a tad larger as well. In addition, this Spring Bundle comes with two games (one on disc, Darksliders 2, and one via download code, Arkham City) and the 360 E does not.
UPDATE 9/28/13 After using the Xbox 360 Slim for over a week, I have noticed a potential issue: this device runs hot. Like lap top battery hot, if not hotter. So, you need to make sure all the vents on the Xbox have a decent amount of space around them to create good circulation. Other than that, I've had no problems or complaints about the Xbox 360 Slim.
