Retro gamers take note

Advantages: A cheap way to addictive gaming
Disadvantages: Don't expect any fancy graphics

The Power Boy TV game pad consists of a green and red coloured joypad, in the PlayStation style, with a lead coming out of it. Just plug that lead into your TV, choose the correct channel and 127 classic games will be at your disposal immediately. Graphically, this belongs in a museum.

...will need 3 x AA batteries (not supplied), although a 6 volt AC mains adapter would be a better long-term option (again, not supplied). All the games are one-player games, and they include such classics as Space Invaders, River Crossing, Hyper Sport, Galaxian, and yes – Tetris is also there. For £20 this would make an ideal gift for those of a certain age, who can re-live their youth through their TV with no hassle of buying a console and ...

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

Do not get the xbox

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: brakes easily

hello, I bought the xbox 360 last week and it has broken already. I was tempted to get the ps3 as i have heard it is more reliable, but the price is too high. In my opinion, the ps3 looks nicer, but they mainly have the same games so that wasn't a problem. I got something light up, right circle. this is the indicator to say its broken. if i could go back i would get the ps3. from my point of view, if you get an xbox 360 and it brakes dont blame anyone ...
