What are the differences between the new Xbox 360 slim console systems? How do you decide between 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 hard disk space available for your use.
The 250GB version of the box has got more storage space for your DLC contents than the 4GB version.
The 4GB version however 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:
- Problems installing video game titles that require more than one disc to the
console (because the size of the discs).
- Issues downloading DLC contents such as game demos, full retail games
(bear in mind that the you do not actually have 4GB free space avaiIable from the
onset because some of the disk space would have been taken up by the installation of the operating system).
-
Regular improvements released by Microsoft in order to
patch the box will reduce the available space overtime.
-
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 be easily smeared with dirt which all perfectionist will have
an issue with however this can help 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 virtually every 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.
