Amazon.co.uk Product Description

The Xbox 360 puts you at the centre of an exciting, personalized entertainment experience. The console is a powerful next-generation gaming system, featuring a robust library of hundreds of games, high-definition (HD) graphics, and multichannel digital sound. Beyond gaming, the Xbox 360 allows playback of music, photos, and videos stored on Windows-based PCs or Universal Serial Bus peripherals. You even can use your music and photos to customize gaming environments. With Xbox LIVE, you can challenge and cooperate with friends in multiplayer scenarios (Gold Xbox LIVE account required); stream movies and TV shows; and download new content, including demos and games.

Game On
Xbox 360 is home to more game choices than ever before, with blockbuster titles, Xbox LIVE Arcade games, and community games on Xbox LIVE coming later this year. With a hard drive attached, Xbox 360 is backward compatible with many original Xbox games. As well, Xbox 360 Arcade is an easy and fun way to enjoy the best of classic casual titles such as Uno and PAC-MAN Championship Edition. In addition to looking and sounding fantastic on standard definition TVs, all Xbox 360 titles perform in HD for smooth, movie-like graphics and multichannel surround sound.

Access Xbox LIVE Marketplace and Xbox LIVE Arcade--all right out of the box. Express your digital identity through a personalized avatar. Talk using video and voice chat on Xbox LIVE (headset and camera not included with the Xbox 360 console), or text chat with anyone who has access to Windows Live Messenger (keyboard not included with Xbox console). Xbox LIVE Marketplace Video Store offers more than 5,600 hours of entertainment content, including high- and standard-definition movies and television shows. Upgrade to an Xbox LIVE Gold Membership, and enter the exciting world of multiplayer online gaming. With matchmaking, access to all your achievements and statistics, video chat and video messaging, and an enormous selection of games, Xbox LIVE Gold delivers your competition, on your terms.

Call Your Guide
Press the Xbox 360 Guide Button on your controller at any time--while you’re playing a game, watching a movie or listening to music--and the Xbox Gamer Guide will slide into view. From here, you can quickly see your online status and statistics, access messages, see which of your friends are online, set up a private chat, adjust your personal settings, and control your music.

Keep It Family Friendly
The Xbox 360 helps parents control the online and offline game experiences of their children by selecting whether they can play online and with whom they can play with. Parents also can lock the console to play only games that meet a certain rating. The family timer also helps parents regulate what kids play and for how long.

5.0 out of 5 stars sublime entertainment, 27 Dec 2008
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

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love It!!!!!!!!!!!, 26 Nov 2008
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.
