    5 Stars Exceeds expectations 10/08/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages quiet

    Disadvantages Disadvantages gloss black attracts fingerprints

    I got this mostly for the quiet element of it, but also for the great looks, it is really designed well, and it's looks exceed that of most consoles in my opinion - a very modern look (piano gloss black and silver trim. I'm interested in the Kinect port, I know the older xbox fully supports it, but I think this is the greenest and cleanest for cabling - so if you're minimalist for cabling and are going for Kinect, then get this. I can't see i'll ever run out of hard disk space now, i've put quite a few CD's on it from my audio collection already, everytime the kids put a game in I tell them to ... more

    5 Stars New 360 22/07/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages good, sleeker and just all round better than the older 360s, the elite and arcade etc.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages still temperamental like the old 360s

    Great new console. A bargain. Built in internet, 802.11n fastest and very true to its name. The only problem I have had with the xbox outside of the gaming etc is where you place it on your shelf, I have become very worried about my 360 getting the new 'red dot' and so I have had to make space to put it where it can 'breathe'. Loading music onto the 360 is a hastle and can take a very long time. Either you get music onto your ipod and try it, its very temperamental at what music it plays because it has a copyright protection thing on it so you cannot play copyrighted mp3s. I took the long ... more

    5 Stars Beautiful Machine. Review with images 09/09/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Loads of storage space

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You can't transfer data from your old console without a data transfer cable (Not too expensive).

    The new look Xbox 360 is an excellent piece of gaming kit and I would reccommend this to anyone interested in getting an Xbox. In a nut shell this has just taken the 360 Elite to a new level. The 250GB storage space is extremely useful for those who have a lot of games and want to instal them to the hard-drive. Some games are 5gb or more so the 20gb model of the Xbox isn't very practical for this. The advantages of installing your games are that the xbox will be quiter during play, the game wont get worn over long periods, the console will stay cooler and there will be much faster loading ... more

    5 Stars One of the best consoles i have played so far. 17/06/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages easy set up, wireless connection, connecting to laptop.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not all xbox old games are compatible

    I bought one of these, i have to say was easy to set up, connect to the internet through wireless really easy and liked the fact it updated itself as and when it needed to. From the experience i have seen with another console on the market, microsofts server for the price of live is to me well worth the money and what your offered. one think i did like once i went on the xbox website was i could connect my laptop via wireless easy to watch films via zune and music and pictures without storing them on the xbox's hardrive. only downside is the backward compatiblilty with the old xbox games as i ... more

    5 Stars Great console 18/01/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Will give hours of fun, more memory than you will ever need.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages mic and getting hot

    I got this for 179.99 at amazon in place of my old "fat" xbox 360 as it broke i had a good 5 years play on it though :). In the box comes the console (0f course), A headset, a wireless controller, a power unit and all the neccasry cable for you to be able to play on the console. First off If you have a hd tv I highly reccomend you get a HDMI cable as it makes the graphics alot better. The console is very small and sleek, this model has a 250gb hardrive which is brilliant as there is now so much to download on xbox live such as movies and games which all take up memory. There are two usb ports ... more

    4 Stars New XBOX 360 no more red lights EVER?? Review with images 24/07/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages See Review

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The Price

    Well the new XBOX 360 is upon us now although its pretty pricey it does have much better qualities than the older XBOX 360 models. Microsoft say that this new machine is immune to the RROD (red ring of death) unlike the older machine which would get it probably at least once in its lifetime. This new model has also got an extra fan which keeps your console cooler for a lot longer which was one of the main concerns why the red ring of death kept appearing. There is also a 250gb of storage where as the older models only had a maximum of 120gb so now its more than doubled. There is now Wi-Fi ... more

    5 Stars A Sleek, sophisticated & powerful addition to the Xbox 360 range 09/07/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Powerful and quiet , Quality Service, Aesthetically pleasing, Exclusive content and back catalogue

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Pricing of services e.g. Xbox live, Zune, Sky Player

    The new Xbox 360 S 250gb console is a true indication of Microsoft's intent to continually please both the casual and hardcore gaming audiences. It is relatively cheap in comparison to its rivals, and also offers similar functionality . The inclusion of Built in Wifi and a larger HDD brings the Xbox up to date and allows it to carry on delivering one of, if not the best services available from a gaming system. It includes all the functionality of the original 360 with a new User Interface which is soon to be integrated with the new Microsoft OS Windows 8, this is a promising development as ... more

    5 Stars XBox 360 vs PS3... 360 wins hands down! 17/09/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages *Smaller and quieter the its predecessor* *Built-in wifi* *Generally awesome*

    Disadvantages Disadvantages *Fingerprints on the console*

    Despite being seven years old now, the XBox 360 still sets the bar as far as consoles are concerned in my opinion and the relatively new XBox 360 S greatly improves on it's bulkier predecessor. The new slim-line, shiny look does not make the console look cheap as I'd first feared. It's a very good looking bit of kit. I actually own both the XBox 360 and the main rival - the Sony Playstation 3 and if I were to lose both consoles somehow, the only one I would be desperate to replace would be the XBox 360. Its massive game catalogue, excellent XBox live online support, HD graphics (HDMi cable is ... more

    5 Stars The great gaming system! 02/01/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Look very nice, doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very sensitive power and game tray buttons.

    The Microsoft Xbox 360 250GB in my opinion is a very nice system that doesn't stick out. I usually have to hide my game systems in my entertainment system. But this nice black design actually makes it look like a beautiful piece of artwork sitting right there in your room! It doesn't take up that much space either. The one and only drawback to me is the touch buttons on the front (i.e power, game tray buttons) they are really sensitive and if they are barley touched they will power off, or open the game tray. I think that this system is a very beautiful system and I love it! I would recommend ... more
