Dreaming Of The 360 Slim

Viewpoint that is.
So if I was a surgeon and was to have the 360 on the chopping mesa, what would I chop? That disc tray would be out! How many times have I caught it when engaging discs out or putting them in? A thousand I break you! Well, perhaps I exaggerate and we’ll settle for nine hundred and ninety nine. It is uncommonly annoying too as it feels so weak to break when you catch it, not to insinuate the noise when it opens and closes. Like the automated doors on the USS Venture – ssssssshhhh CLUNK! So the disc tray is out and replaced with a place tray, Captain Kirk will no longer manipulate like a prat shouting “can you at least biff please” each time Spock opens the tray for a negligible Viva Pinata.
I would then be giving that 360 some serious liposuction and getting the bugger Victoria Beckham thin, as in upstanding enough but not too much (the face we can work on). The limit being that the soothe could not go thinner than the radius of that “cestus of light”. The USB ports would then insufficiency to go horizontal instead of vertical and I would ditch one memory card place as I hardly use one let alone both of them. The HDD (somebody once told me that was Massy Duty Duracell) or Impenetrable Disk Drive to those not tech savvy, would indeed essential to be moved as it currently sits on the side (or top if the system is vertical) and would slow the console getting thinner like self-governing Dominos at a Weight Watchers get together with.
