5.0 out of 5 stars
sublime entertainment,
By Ste "S.J.Reid" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Xbox 360 Console (60 GB Hard Drive) (Video Game)
I have had my 60GB ps3 for going on two years now and whislt it has been fun both online and offline, i feel that i was missing out on some truly great gaming, therefore i decided to get one for christmas.
Setup was fairly simple, i didn't particulary need the instructions because i am used to seting gaming consoles up and it is quite easy. so what about this cusred red ring of death (RROD) issue. Well i thought i got it, let me explain: I was certain that the power cable was attached properley, in this case it wasnt and when i was playing gears of war 2 it switched itself off and gave me four red rings. Fixed it though and it works fine now. As for graphics the console is capable of resolutions up tp 1080P (1920 x 1080), much like the PS3. So graphics wise it looks good but it isn't so far ahead that the PS3 can't bloody keep up. Controller ergonomics have improved since the previous Xbox console, the controller is lighter, buttons are closer to each other and the battery pack is very easy to replace. So what do you get with the new Falcon Units, well beside being cooler you get: Component cable ( no HDMI cable) Ethernet cable xbox 360 Joypad with batteries power plug and AC adapter a month free of gold LIVE and a headset with a Mic To recharge your controller you need a play and charge kit that is normally around £7-10 and a HDMI cable is about £3 so it wont cost too much to get those little extras. Xbox LIVE - i have been on today and despite everyone complaining about the level of abuse, i can safely say that i haven't encountered any as of yet. fingers crossed i dont but hey who knows. There are a few other features you can do such as: windows media centre - share music, flims and pictures with your PC via the ethernet cable download movies from LIVE communicate with friends via Instant messaging, voice chat or video chat. you can have up to 6 people using voice chat via the LIVE party system. Im sure there is a lot more to cover but i didn't want to yammer on forever.This for me is a fantastic source of entertainment and is easily the best value for money when it comes to next gen consoles. final score - 9.5/10 looses half a point for that god awful AC adapter and the DVD tray is still loud :D

I Love It!!!!!!!!!!!,
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Xbox 360 Console (60 GB Hard Drive) (Video Game)
I have owned an XBOX 360 sine the day they came out (well I had it pre-ordered, the less said about the original release the better!!!) and would just like to take this oppourtunity to praise my little box of joy and wonder that sits underneath my TV.
I have owned 2 360's the very 1st Premium Model & the new 120GB Elite model w/ HDMI. My Premium still works (ish... its about 4 years old now) alothough the disk tray can be know to seize up, this is solved with a sturdy prod with the finger though, yet it continues to work well despite being more full of dust than my mums Dyson. The old Premium now has pride of place in work as the office games console and continues to work really wel despite its old age and somewhat harsh treatment. The 360 Elite is a stunning machine when viewed in HD, had it for over a year now and it's never put even a little toe wrong never mind a whole foot. Everything the Premium does the Elite does, only slightly smoother. I am very confident in saying that 'You Can't Go Wrong' in buying one of these machines. Other consoles (PS3, Nitendo Wii) may be more suited to what you need (i.e. Blu Ray Player, swinging your arm like a loon) but i would recommend a 360 to anyone, old or young. The graphics are spot on even without the HDMI connection, when you watch a DVD the image is played through the graphics card inside the 360 so the image is slightly improved. The collection of games available is excellent, from all out shoot-em-ups (Halo 3) to mind bending puzzle games (Portal) the 360 can keep all but the most hyperactive people busy for hours. The only issue I have with the 360 is pretty much the same issue everyone else has had with it: NOISE. But I tune it out now, it can be a bit irrating at first, but its now just one of the sounds of my house like the washing machine or something. The new dashboard update give a quick-fix solution to this if it irritates you, by installing the game to your hard drive you can run it from there, meaning the disk drive is only used to verify the authenticity of your game disk. This means faster load time and smoother game play among other things. I have not played either the PS3 or the Nitendo Wii to any extent as to be able to review them. So I cannot recommend the XBOX 360 over the other two.... I just recommend it full stop.
