5.0 out of 5 stars There is no spoon, 16 Feb 2010
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Xbox 360 Arcade Console (Video Game)
Well I've owned a 360 pretty much since it was launched. In that time MS have replaced it twice (free of charge). Now, on my third Red Ring Of Death, the console is out of warranty so it's cheaper to buy an Arcade and simply transfer my hard drive.

The console says copyright 2009 so it's one of the latest but I can't tell if it has the Jasper chip set. Having said that I simply can't believe how much quieter it is than my old one. It also has the HDMI socket which gives a slightly better picture on my TV than component.

I own a PS3, 360 and Wii: The Wii only ever gets played at parties; The PS3 gets used for watching DVDs and Blu-ray disks and for playing PS3 exclusive games but I much prefer the user interface of the xbox and the controller fits my hands better. I would recommend the xbox to anyone from parents buying for young children to 'hardcore' gamers who don't need my recommendation anyway.

If you're wondering about getting an xbox without a hard drive, it's really not worth it because it's far more expensive to buy a hard drive later and you will almost certainly want a hard drive at some point. But if you want to upgrade from an old machine (keeping the old hard drive) then this is a bargain.

Thoroughly recommended and a bargain.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great with mates., 13 Dec 2009
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Xbox 360 Arcade Console (Video Game)
I'd owned a PS3 for a year before I picked up my 360. I was temped mainly by the prospect of the system's online component and the fact that the majority of my friends are Xboxers rather than PS3ers. It's a great console. The Operating system is a symple interface and there are always demos, videos and other media available to download. You can purchase or rent films and download them to your hard drive. But the best thing about the 360 is the online experience. You have to pay for it which is a bit of a drag, but you get voice chat, cross game invites and lag free gaming. It is simplicity itself. You can be up and running with you mates in Gears of War and have a dedicated headset channel all to yourself, which ensures that the overall experience is easy and fun.

The games available for the console are very strong. Aside from the multiformat titles Microsoft is an excelent publisher and series such as Gears of War, Forza and Halo have strong hardcore appeal. There are some casual titles for the Wii-Brigade but you won't find any cooking simulators here. This is a console aimed at the core fanbase. Having said that, titles such as Lips and You're in the Movies are OK if you fancy a little drunken singalong.

The drawbacks are on the hardware side. The system runs very hot and loud and has a tendancy to break down. You get a three year warranty with it but that doesn't excuse anything. Newer models are more reliable so make sure you get the most up-to-date unit you can find. It is also very loud when playing a game. You tend not to notice as most games are quite loud but when you use it as a DVD player the noise can be distracting. Also if you want to upgrade your hard drive or any other hardware you have to buy direct from microsoft. Hard drives are overpriced and you also need to buy a wireless adapter to play wirelessly.

Overall though a great console and well worth the asking price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really happy with jasper model, 26 Jan 2010
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Xbox 360 Arcade Console (Video Game)
I can confirm this is the Jasper model.

My old xbox died on me so just bought this as a replacement since it was out of warranty and I am amazed at how quiet it is compared to my launch console.

I just hope with these models are less prone to RROD.

Oh and delivery was great received the next day at 9.30 am - thanks Amazon! :)
