The Stealthbox is just as "whisper quiet" as Microsoft promised, too - though it's definitely audible when playing games from DVD, the system's blissfully silent as long as you first install them to the hard drive.

While it still draws a tad more current than a PS3 Slim, playing games and DVDs require fewer watts, and as you can plainly see in the chart above, it wipes the floor with our Elite. We'd already heard the new Valhalla was pretty dang power-friendly, but that didn't keep us from performing a few tests of our own - and sure enough, it's the most energy efficient unit we've seen.

The one place the new Xbox 360 did show considerable improvement was the optical disc drive - the Stealthbox consistently loaded DVDs and game levels two seconds faster - but we'd hesitate to recommend the system on that basis alone, as historically Microsoft has shipped consoles with a variety of different drives. Compared to a 100 megabit wired connection on a neighboring Elite, the wireless posted slightly more erratic transfer rates and was occasionally susceptible to lag, but still averaged 1.7MB / sec downloads (compared to 1.9MB / sec) on a fast AT&T U-Verse connection - we'd certainly be happy with most games (save fighters) over wireless. The new Xbox 360 sadly doesn't have gigabit ethernet to speed networking up, but we did get favorable results out of the 802.11n WiFi card. If you expected the new Xbox 360 to be any faster, you're mostly out of luck - the silicon's clocked at the same speed, for starts, and the 250GB hard drive was neck and neck with the Elite's 120GB during a battery of tests, like this 4.6GB Street Fighter IV install.

Where the Xbox 360 Elite came with not only a switchable component / composite HD A/V cable but an HDMI cord to boot, the new Xbox 360 has only a set of composite wires that don't support even 480p resolution. While we didn't expect the new wireless controller to add anything more than a coat of gloss black (sorry, fighting fans, it's the same ol' D-pad), we're surprised you don't get HD playback out of the box. The console itself may be an attractive package, but Microsoft really skimped on the extras this time round. Just in case you're wondering, the new disc drive does not protect discs from nasty scratches this go around - dropping a Savage Garden album in the tray and letting the console flop to one side (on a carpeted surface, no less) our album was truly, madly and deeply cut. Both power and eject buttons play a chime as soon as your finger connects, and the DVD tray slides out far quicker than in Sony's slot-loading system. Capacitive touch buttons aren't everyone's cup of tea, and it seems odd to see them here after Sony finally phased them out, but Microsoft's implementation removes the uncertainty usually associated with touch by immediately responding to input. As before, the embedded 2.5-inch SATA unit isn't user replaceable, but this time we rather admire its plastic shell - it's a handsome cartridge that slots neatly inside the system, surrounded by a fully cushioned cage that both silences and protects the hard drive. On the bottom of the system you'll find a removable panel housing the unit's hard drive. Not that you'd necessarily want to leave it in a cabinet. Sadly, the extra USB are in the rear, right next to the Kinect port, so they'll be little use for plugging in Rock Band instruments if you house the system in a cabinet.

Since Microsoft's April firmware update brought USB mass storage to the console, we knew the life of Microsoft's proprietary Memory Unit was running out, and sure enough the new Xbox 360 loses the MU sockets in favor of two additional USB ports. Perusing the outside of the unit, however, there are a number of pleasant surprises in store, including a dedicated optical audio jack (though the one embedded in older A/V cables works just as well), capacitive touch buttons and a snazzy new hard drive port. See the gallery below for comparison shots, but you can basically think about it this way - Microsoft's taken its rectangular console and molded it into a square. Even as its stature has decreased 12 percent, the new Xbox 360 is deeper than the Elite. While the new Xbox 360 is 18 percent lighter, it's only a quarter-inch slimmer than its predecessor at the waist, and is practically the same width as the old unit measured at its widest point. Though the new unit and all its accessories are technically labeled "Xbox 360 S," you'll never hear Microsoft marketers call it a Slim, and it turns out there's a pretty good reason for that.
