Advantages: cheap price tag, lots of exclusive games, small console, great online Disadvantages: loud, no HDMi cable, pay for online memberships
I always preferred the Xbox over the PS3 for many reasons. For example, the Xbox has all the exclusive games and content to the power and the links that Microsoft have. Also the main reason being that it is much cheaper than a PS3.
The 60GB Premium model comes with an online headset along with a 1 month free membership for XboxLIVE for customers to have a taster of what it is like, and how much more enjoyable it is with LIVE.
Though, the 60GB hard drive isn't really enough memory for those who download demos and movies over LIVE etc. So if you are willing to put in the extra cash for an Elite, I would go for it. Plus, the Elite prices have dropped by £30, to a £199.99 price tag, only £30 more than a Premium console. However, the HDMi Cable has been scrapped from the Elite bundle.

Advantages: Brilliant graphics, HDMI Output, Excellent Games Library, Xbox Live Disadvantages: Expensive Games, Xbox Live Fee, Lack of Blu-Ray, Hardware Errors
After hearing how good Microsoft's next-gen gaming console was, I decided to invest. And what a good choice that was. I purchased an Xbox360 Elite last year and how glad I am that I did.
Pro's:
- Powerful graphic engine
- Brilliant display at 1080p Full-HD (HDMI)
- Brilliant line-up of games
- Excellent online (XboxLive) system
Con's:
- Games pricey at £40-50 each*
- XboxLive Subscription at £40 per year**
- Lack of a Blu-Ray drive unlike its competitor, Sony PlayStation 3***
- Prone to crashes and hardware errors****
*New games are hard to find at prices lower than £40, which is a lot of money on top of what you pay for the console itself
