Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite

Advantages: Enjoyable high quality gameplay
Disadvantages: A bit noisy (the fans that is)

Yet another house move meant that I needed some careful rewarding, the choice of my reward was a toss up between the PS3 or the Xbox 360 Elite. After a bit of careful deliberation and a look at the range of games available the Xbox 360 won the day. I ordered mine from Littlewoods at the rather high price of £299, but at the time of purchase this was the only place that had them in stock, and delivery was the very next day. Now I have no real knowledge ...
...certain degree some of the issues I'll bring up are basically hearsay, but not hearsay I have heard from random website this comes from friends. The Xbox 360 Elite comes in a clean black finish, it seems black is the new silver when it comes to electrical. No sooner have we all converted our TV's, etc to the silver finish and its time to turn back again. Luckily the other series of reward toys I gave myself also came in black (but that's another ...

Advantages: Brilliant graphics, HDMI Output, Excellent Games Library, Xbox Live
Disadvantages: Expensive Games, Xbox Live Fee, Lack of Blu-Ray, Hardware Errors

...free, one would think that Microsoft would follow suit ***The Xbox 360 Elite should have really included a Blu-Ray drive like its competitor PS3, instead Microsoft opted for a HD-DVD expansion drive (Which have now become obsolete) ****Any person that reads technology news must have heard about the dreaded "Red lights". This is the one fatal flaw on the Xbox 360 which makes your Xbox unplayable and one must send their Xbox off to Microsoft's very ... Read review

Advantages: Powerfull
Disadvantages: Erm....... None!

...about 2 weeks after buying, microsoft seem to have sorted out these little issues that kept crashing the system. The elite has a HDMI port which means you can connect this straght into your HD socket on your tv, I have a 42 inch plasma and i thought the graphics was good on my old Xbox 360 through a scart lead but once i plugged this in i was blown away! The graphics are amazing, perfect detail can be seen on the games that you play. You get the ...
...as they are quite exspensive to buy, you also get one black wirless controller and a headset. The system comes in a stylish black that will fit in with your other electronics and it does look the part!

Advantages: Large 120GB Hard Drive, HDMI, Excellent online service
Disadvantages: Noisy at times, runs hot

I have previously owned two Xbox 360 Premium consoles in the past. I decided to purchase again with the release of Halo 3. Overall I\'m very happy with the Elite. Its main advantage over the Premium is the larger 120GB hard drive. Compared to buying a console and the larger hard drive it represents good value for money. If you want to download lots of demos and not have to worry about lack of space then the bigger drive is definitely worth it. If ...
...on the Premium console. Another thing that I have found with the past two consoles that I have owned run rather loud. The Elite seems to be slightly less noisy but this still depends on what DVD drive you get in your system. Unfortunately it is down to luck which one you\'ll get. You can identify the DVD drive manufacturer but this would be hard to do before buying. Display quality is great through HDMI. One thing that I really appreciate is HDMI ... Read review

Excellent implementation between games and the Xbox dashboard and Xbox Live features via the Live button, huge hard drive will fit many demos, videos and music files. Fans and DVD drive can be very noisy at times.
