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 ...

...market, and certainly the best Microsoft has to offer. The games run smoothly and you really do have alot of storage space. So if you are after really good console with all the works and price is not an issue, then this would naturally be a good choice. Moreover, I would recommend the subscriptions to enjoy the true potential.
But remember, if you don't have 1080p full HD, NOT HD ready or 1080i TV, then you will not necessarily the best this machine ...

Advantages: Faster, Larger Memory, More Games, Fantastic Online System, Looks Stunning Disadvantages: Slightly noisy when watching a dvd, will asorb you into a long life of gaming.
...as they are licensed by Microsoft and not some random companies idea put into practice without testing.
When you get the box everything is nicely packed in little bags and boxes making it easy to figure out what it all does, the HDMI cable is the best thing in the world not just for the video quality but for the fact it is simply plug one cable in and you are off! The power supply is quite large but as with all power supplies they are hidden away ...

Just amazing... Review ofMicrosoft Xbox 360 Eliteby

Advantages: Great Graphics, Full HD, Xbox Live, Marketplace, Achievement Points (Gamerscore), DivX/AVI Playback Disadvantages: Can't store anything but music on the harddrive
...instructions, you should be fine! Microsoft know of the matter, and the reason being is because in the original xbox, the design was to compact and they squished too much hardware in to too little space, causing it to overheat quickly and easily. The Elite was a little more thought about, and there haven't been as many reports as there was for the original design back in 2006.
The only other problem I can really think off, is not being able to store ...

...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 ...

...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 HDMI ...

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 ...

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.

Advantages: HDMI connection colour black Disadvantages: 360's game's catalogue still needs expanding
Bought this an upgrade from a standard 2/3 yeard old Xbox 360. Immediately liked the HDMI connection much easier to use than old component cabling from older model. Black seems to suit the 360 fits in much better with DVD and TV where it lives much more unobtrusive than the white of the original. So far I have had the Elite about 5/6 months now and it has none of the freezing that I suffered with the previous model. Apparently the trick is to check ...

Advantages: Amazing graphics, 120gb Hardrive, Xbox live, Hdmi ouput. Disadvantages: Heating, Cost of xbox live.
After purchasing this product in September 2008, I have had hardly any problems with it. In the Elite, it includes a Hdmi port which is useful for getting the best out of it's graphics. The black wireless controller is very comfy to hold and use for long periods of time. The disadvantages of this product are that some models still have the older version of the chip. This means that the Xbox is quite noisy and is more likely to Heat up and show the ...

Advantages: Stylish, Quieter, 120gb hard drive Disadvantages: None
I only just got my new 360 Elite through and it's a lot better than ithought it would be. All the pictures you see of it dont do it any justice. when i opened the box i had that new smell hit me and i loved it (a bit sad, but i love it) it looks very sleek and stylish in black, including the pad, my husband said it looks sexy, and he's right it does. this console is a lot quieter than the core and the premium, apart from the fact that your playing ...

Advantages: Graphics Disadvantages: Cost to Much and Hardware Failure
Xbox 360 Is a great console, good looking and a powerful console but has too many errors like Rrol (red ring of light) which means hardware failure and that will mean sending your console for repair and losing around £150 if you don't have insurance. The main disadvantage is everything is expensive like AA battery's for the controller which runs out after a week and you have to buy a network adapter for online play and you have to paid to play online.Network ...

Advantages: Great online, graphics look amazing, fantastic controller, broad game selection Disadvantages: Noisy, high failure rate.
I like to think this is a great buy if you relatively new to consoles and want a starting point, multiplayer is what the Xbox 360 does best so why not play with friends for added fun. There's a number of different 360 models i will review the "Elite" as it's the version i own.
The 'Elite' looks good and has HDMI which is useful... Believe me i've had a hard time trying to find a HD ready TV (Small 20" - 27") with proper Hi def component (a reslution ...
