    4 Stars A gaming powerhouse Review with images 07/04/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Arguably the best selection of games of any current console. Great HD graphics.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Hardware may still be somewhat unreliable. Lacks innovations specific to the Wii and PS3.

    The Xbox 360 was the first of the 7th generation consoles to hit the market, back in late 2005, and has been through a few revisions over the subsequent years as Microsoft have been constantly jockeying for position in the market against the competition. The range currently contains the minimal Arcade model, the Pro with a hard drive, and the top of the line Elite, with a bundle of extras. At the heart of the Xbox 360 is a powerful 3.2GHz triple core Xenon processor. This might not mean much to everyone, but it's a serious CPU that was easily the equal of most desktop PCs at the time the ... more

    5 Stars Check Out My Great Box 02/11/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Enjoyable high quality gameplay

    Disadvantages 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 of the original Xbox 360 so I guess to a certain degree some of the issues I'll bring up are basically hearsay, but not hearsay I have heard ... more

    Advantages Advantages Xbox Live, Features, Value for Money.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Less technically advanced than its rival.

    Having owned all of the recent generation of console I feel I can now make a technical judgement on them. I will compare the Xbox to its direct rival the Playstation 3, this is not a fanboy review, this is a review based on the strengths and weaknesses from a technical perspective. Firstly the graphical capability is superb, just what you would expect from using a 1080p source, however when comparing to its rival the PS3 there are some slight noticeable differences if you ave used them both. The first difference is lighting the Xbox graphics use higher contrast levels that the PS3 so it looks ... more

    5 Stars Xbox Rocks!! Review with images 30/04/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great live community,can download games, Great choice of games, rent and download movies

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no blue ray player

    XBOX has very quickly become synonymous with fun and entertainment. In the ever competitive market of gaming consoles it has made its own name and market and most importantly a devoted following. This has translated in a fantastic online service called as XBOX LIVE which brings the online content such as trailers, independent games and downloadable content (DLC) for games in to a single easily navigable place. XBOX boasts a fantastic gaming library and a vibrant independent gaming community. I absolutely love playing 1 vs 100 Live on my Xbox. You can also rent movies on Xbox Live and use it to ... more

    5 Stars The Xbox 360: Great Value 03/01/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Amazing game library both offline and online, great value and a powerful machine

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no WiFi, horrible system design and failure rate, controller battery annoyance,

    What makes a video game system a great one? What would compel you to buy one over the other? There are many factors in buying a video game system and there have been arguments for years about what makes a video game system good. Some areas of the systems capability include the hardware of the system (which includes system/controller design, computing/graphics power, and system hardware features eg. a DVD player), its game library (which includes online and offline games), and its value. Each of these categories will be identified and explained and reviewed for the Xbox 360. Section I. System ... more

    4 Stars Best 360 out there?? Review with images 25/07/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Awesome graphics, Bigger hard drive, Black is better than the white and has a HDMI port

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Same components and looks just the same but a different color!

    The Xbox 360 Elite was released by Microsoft soon after the Playstation 3 was released by Sony so I'm guessing Microsoft was getting a bit scared that people would go off and buy a Playstation 3 and tried bringing the new Xbox 360 out so everyone would go buy one instead of the Playstation 3 and in my opinion i think the Xbox 360 Elite is the better option. With the previous Xbox 360 selling so many was there any need for the Xbox 360 Elite? well in my opinion no not really but however Microsoft did add some bits to this new edition of the Xbox 360 console. The Xbox 360 Elite is a completely ... more

    5 Stars Xbox 360 Elite - It covers all angles! 17/06/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Faster, Larger Memory, More Games, Fantastic Online System, Looks Stunning

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slightly noisy when watching a dvd, will asorb you into a long life of gaming.

    A step above the Xbox 360 Pro and so much better than any other console for a number of reasons. First things first, why is it better then any other console like the PS3 and the Wii? Well the Wii is more of a novelty device, I only ever use mine if there are couple of friends around and need to play something that is not too strenous on the mind. Great for party gaming with a few beers and mates but nothing solid enough for long term gaming. The PS3 has many arguments going for it as it does have fantastic graphics but thats about it, there are a couple of exclusive games for it but nothing on ... more

    5 Stars Xbox Elite is still TOP of the game consoles 04/06/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Wide range of games available

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Heavy Power Supply, Online game lag still and issue especially if you do not live in the US

    XBOX 360 Still the best on the market! My view I never purchase initial released consoles mainly as they are always rushed out on to the market for users to test, break and wait for repairs. Once again my patients paid off as the 360 had many teething problems the worst of all was the 3 rings of death. Thankfully Microsoft agreed to provide a 3 year repair for the 3 rings of death, quite appropriate really. I still agree to buy a 3 year warranty with new consoles because of the amount of use they get and with younger users they do get knocked around a little. When the XBOX 360 elite came out ... more

    Advantages Advantages Huge hard drive

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Large price!

    Welcome to the mother of all games consoles... the Xbox 360 Elite. With a massive 120Gb harddrive I can store all the videos,demos and game saves that my heart desires. So far I have only filled up 80Gb! The console comes in a sleek black finish and looks great next to my new widescreen TV, everyone notices it when they come round and they always say how nice it looks 'for a games console'. The chrome disk tray really stands out against the black and looks great. The console itself has so many games to choose from theres something for everyone, with exclusive titles such as Halo everyone ... more
