The Xbox 360 is much better now

Advantages: Lots of features, Great game play, and Lots of save space
Disadvantages: Paying for internet access

With the continued updates and upgrades with the Xbox 360 they are winning back a lot and people, in my eyes. The newer Xbox 360s are running a lot smoother and for those avid gamer, it seems the worry of overheating is in the past. Aside from just the inter workings of the console the addition of Netflix and soon Facebook is going to be great for the not so serious gamer. I think it will bring in a lot more Xbox LIVE members. Another great thing ...
...new feature is great for people that want to buy a older game but can't find them in a local store or just for those that say "I haven't played this game in a while" and rebuy it right from the Xbox 360 Elite console. The Xbox Party chat is another wonderful new feature that just tickles me. I love that you can chat with a group of people no matter what game you are playing. It is also great in multiplayer games. You can plan your attack on the other ...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite

Very Good would recommend this xbox

Advantages: exclusive game
Disadvantages: noise, power brick

I got this as a present for christmas and i think its the best console on the market. It has the best choice of games, its the cheapest and its reliable. This package wouldn't be the one i chose though because you dont get a hard drive with it and you really need one of those but you can pick them up fairly cheap anyway but beside that its very stylish and the wireless controllers have a long battery life, there is also a long range of accessories ...
...i have ever seen and the console is noisy but is very good with game processing and has the best online action with exclusive games being the best, games you can now buy off xbox live and the sky player. I would recommend this product to anyone thinking of getting a console as this is the best. ...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Arcade

simply brilliant

Advantages: lots of new games and a brilliant package deal
Disadvantages: none apart from when you buy an old second hand consol the red light error might appear

Well ive had my xbox for just under a year now and i have had no problems with it whatsoever. With my xbox pacage i had a 60gb hard drive, 2 controllers with charging cable, 3 games, halo 3, cod 5 and gta san andreas. The xbox live package that comes free is brilliant, there are two options either the silver or the gold option. I would reccomend the gold package as you can not only chat with your friends online but you can also take part in online ...
...ability. People say that there xbox's always overhead or it crashes with the red light error, but now with the new xbox systems that you buy online or at say argos have the red light error fixed, which means no more overheating or unexpected crashes. I would highly reccomend an xbox 360 package deal with gold xbox live, theese days they are great value. ...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360

Xbox sux

Advantages: nice graphics when it is working.
Disadvantages: It will overheat and you will be on your own after spending a lot of money.

...indicating a overheating issue and Microsoft won't do anything to help you. Your problem will occur after your warranty is up and Microshaft will charge you $150.00 to fix your console ... the one that should have been working. You will contavt Microshaft Xbox online support, they will be brain dead after you describe your problem. After 4 or 5 email exchanges, they will suggest you contact Microshat Xbox customer support by phone. You will speak ...
...problem and your unhappiness with the product, their dead brains will suggest you send it to Microshaft for $150.00 repair and they will tell you that you are lucky that shipping is included. That is the Microshaft way. They'll gladly take your money and give you a shabby product that is full of defects. If you like being scammed and duped, then buy this Microshaft product. ...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Halo 3 Special Edition

Microsoft's Off to a Good Start

Advantages: Great Graphics, Great Controller (the smaller one), and an Awesome Multiplayer/Online
Disadvantages: The Game Library is a Little Small Compared to its Competition and the Console is Too Bulky

...black and white buttons. Thankfully Microsoft would wise up and create a smaller controller, with the same control pattern (the two black and white buttons were to only ones moved for the smaller controller). The smaller Xbox controller is pretty cool controller with a great shape to it. The analog sticks will take some getting use to for anyone who has gotten use to the Playstation controller. One of the biggest negatives is that the controller ...
...it was a mistake for Microsoft to end its lifespan so early. The Xbox released in winter of 2001 and many say that its last year (or good year) was in 2005. Microsoft stopped the Xbox to release their Xbox 360. I love the 360 but Microsoft should have done what Sony and Nintendo did and let it go for a little while longer. Overall, the despite its smaller game library, the Xbox was the best out of the three consoles from that generation in my opinion. ...
