live @ £40 a year), I could play most of my original xbox titles on it so the old system could go into the bedroom, & the biggest reason of all, NOTHING FOR THE PS3 EXCITED ME! Don't get me wrong, I've since bought a PS3, but there were no games out for it that weren't available on the 360 that interested me! That situation hasn't really changed with the exception of resistance & killzone2.
The looks of the box, well, thats up to you, the brick power supply was a little odd, but it's hidden out of sight, so who cares, reasonably loud noise coming from the system when it is running, but to be honest, when I'm sucked into a game, I'm oblivious to it! Especially when the 5.1 is pumped up (my apologies to all my neighbours :D) Control pad? almost excellent, the D-pad lets it down (Sega managed to get the D-pad right almost 20 years ago, why can ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Microsoft Xbox 360
Advantages: Online gaming, good value, networking Disadvantages: Some lag, temptation to spend more money on extras
XboxLive is good value compared to some other online subscriptions e.g. World of Warcradt or Everquest as with these you pay everymonth just for one game, whereas with xboxlive you only pay once to go online with pretty much all your games.
You then get tempted, however, to pay for extra online contect such as extra levels, characters, backdrops for your xboxlive dashboard, arcade games etc. etc.
So it's never as cheap as it seems!
The service on xboxlive is good and it's rare to have connection issues so gameplat online tends to be smooth. Occasionally you may shoot at someone only to find they already moved- lag is rare but does happen and can be annoying.
The range of games that can be played online is excellent, and isn't just shooting and fighting! Guitar hero plays online brilliantly with options for guitar battles ...
Advantages: graphics, gameplay Disadvantages: cost of live subscription
The microsoft xbox360 is in my opinion the best games console out there, ultimately enhanced by the superb online gameplay capabilities and magnificient graphics which it has.
It is incredibly easy to use (even my dad can use it) and it is easy to transfer date from a computer to it also.
There is a huge variety of games that can be played on it and the games that can only be played on the xbox360 (gears of war, halo 3) are better than the games that can only be played on Sony Playstation 3 (Little Big Planet).
Even though the online gameplay costs, (£5 a month if paying monthly) it makes up for it with seriously awesome gameplay compared to PS3 live which is free however not as good.
Another factor that I like about the Xbox360 is that you can earn achievements when you complete certain missions or find something during ...
