Product Description

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.

LIVE Free and Play Hard
Connect your Xbox 360 console to a broadband connection and get instant access to Xbox LIVE with an included Xbox LIVE Silver Membership. 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 
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 Gaming Powerhouse, 5 Dec 2008
By K. Dunstan "triantha" (Bath, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I recently purchased this model of Xbox 360, and in the light of the New Xbox Experience (NXE) that has just been released, I thought I'd do a review. I'm very happy with the Xbox, and I have to say I haven't touched the Wii since I bought it (or for about 4 months previous to buying it). Here's my opinion of the good and bad aspects, and some stuff you may not know you can do with your Xbox!

GOOD:

Graphics:
Excellent. They look superb on my HDTV (even though it's only 22in), and this new model supports HDMI. It's worth noting that it's not compatible with the NXE right now, however. Eurogamer have also comparing cross platform PS3 and Xbox games since the beginning, and the Xbox usually comes out on top due to keeping its frame rates higher.

Gameplay:
Controller is great (bar the dodgy d-pad), and there are lots of excellent exclusives for Xbox 360 (Mass Effect, Gears of War, Viva Piñata, Banjo Kazooie to note a few). Most other games are cross platform too.

Price:
Amazing, cheaper than Wii or PS3. You can't really argue with that, and the value really is incredible. Games can also be picked up at silly prices second hand.

Online:
Online offers a slew of features I'll go over here
- Online play, works great provided your broadband is fast enough.
- Chat, via MSN messenger. Works just like a phone, but free. And you can play games at the same time. And leave annoying voice messages.
- Buy things! this is shoved in your face a little, but you can download excellent games like Braid and Geometry Wars from the Live Arcade.
- Download free demos and videos.
- Party up with your friends and chat/play together.
- Spy on what your friends are up to (as if Facebook wasn't enough) and compare skills with Achievements.

Other Features:
The NXE offers a lot of new stuff, most of which is an oppertunity to Buy! Buy! Buy! stuff from Microsoft, but also some really cool things:

- Play media files and music from portable hard drives. All compatibility issues seem to have been sorted, as mine wouldn't work on a friend's Xbox before and now it does. Also, it'll play .avi files :)
- Customise your Avatar (like a grown up nintendo Mii, but less creepily unchanging) to make yourself look cool. All blokes look a bit girly though.

BAD:

- No internet browser: why, when even PSP and DSi have one?
- Disk tray is loud: although not when playing DVDs. I've found I'm used to this now.
- Consumerist Home screen: Buy things, now! There are about 3 tabs of stuff to buy on the Dashboard now.
- Microsoft points are quite expensive: but then so are Wii points.
- Red Ring of Death: small chance that your console might decide to die at some point. Microsoft insures them for 2 years free of charge.
- Xbox Live is Expensive: £39 - 49.99 a year for Gold (online game playing) membership.
- Lag in online gaming if broadband connections are slow.
- Miss out on other platform exclusives: No amount of Banjo Kazooie will console you if you wish it were Little Big Planet.

All in all, this is the cheapest and probably most fun way to join the next generation of gaming, and to bring all of your friends along. The most pressing problem for me is a lack of good games on a console, or them being very expensive, and the Xbox is concern free in this area. Enjoy!
