An Xbox review thats not copied or in broken English

User recommends the product

Advantages Superb array of games, online content
Disadvantages Noisy, slightly bulky

Currently, every review on the Xbox 360 seems to be either 2 lines long, in awful English or copied from other sources. None of these efforts do this excellent console justice so I am going to attempt to write a review which will enable you to make a valued judgement about whether this console is for you or not. Introduction The Xbox 360 console is Microsoft’s follow up to the original Xbox which hardly pulled up any trees. Released in November 2005, the 360 quickly became a worldwide hit. The main reason for this was that Microsoft were able to build up their market share a full 12 months ... more

Advantages Many different improvements, High Definition, XBOX Live.
Disadvantages Some problems online and console has a tendancy to over heat.

Now then I will start off here with a confession...I bought this for me too! We have both been playing the XBOX since it came out near enough, way back whenever it was. We both love the ability to play online with our friends most of all. So when the 360 came out we both wanted one but decided to wait until the prices came down. I think it cost £400 for the premium package originally. When the prices dropped for Christmas I just had to get us one. So we ordered. GAME had the best package at the time, £299 for the premium package and two top games. The premium package really is the best deal ... more

Next Gen Console but still requires some polish 18/12/2005

User recommends the product

Advantages Superb Gfx, Excellent Live Integration, Looks great
Disadvantages Slightly noisy, Lack of storage space

I recently obtained my Xbox 360 premium a week after launch. I had on the 2nd December three games, a remote and HD cables but no console. The box it came in was very heavy, it deceived the eye. What was inside however was excellent. I think Microsoft took a leave out of Apple's book. It was packaged and designed I think anyway, with white and visually beautiful aesthetics and packaging. It looks a very professional package, which should be the case given the cost of this unit. The Package The box comes with: -Console -Mini remote -HUGE power adapter -Live headset -Wireless controller -Manuals ... more

Advantages Can almost take over from your PC
Disadvantages power brick, noise

Well it's been a while since I've written any reviews but I'm baaaaaaack and I couldn't think of anything better to write my first review for a while on. The second coming, or the Xbox 360 as it's officially known is quite simply the best piec of gaming hardware the world has ever seen, a rival for an Alienware PC hardware which I thought would've been a few years away yet but here it is. I would like to add that unfortunately I was only able to pick up a core unit, I wish I had waited now but I'm not too bothered because even without the hard drive and other accessories the things still ... more

A great console, a great price 16/07/2008

User recommends the product

Advantages Great console with all perks of normal console and 5 free games
Disadvantages None

I originally owned the xbox premium console which was extremely good, especially as it came with the 20gb hard drive which proved very useful. However, it broke just after the warranty ended so i decided to purchase the xbox arcade console as it was the cheapest on the market. I also got the free xbox arcade compilation disc and another free game. The xbox 360 in my opinion is probably the best console available to buy on the market at the moment. This is a great next generation console which includes loads of great features. However it does not go much beyond being a games console - unlike ... more

Judgement Day- PS3 VS XBOX 360- 2009 05/04/2008

User recommends the product

Advantages Look at my review!! lol nah great range of games, xbox live. many others
Disadvantages NOISY, the black box which supplies power

Hmmm you might be reading this review if you can't decide between the Xbox 360, and the PS3. Well then you're reading the right review since I had to make the same decision. The Xbox 360, with its recent price cut is great value for money. Much lower than the PS3- here are the lowest prices I found on the COMET website for each console -Xbox 360- £144.99 ( to think i bought it 4 '£250 Yeeshk!) -PS3- £249.99 -Wii- £139.00 Here we see that the Xbox 360 is the lower priced than PS3 and only a tenner more than a WII ( like OH MY GOSH) -this xbox has a 20Gb harddrive which is probably decent enough ... more

Best HD Console 07/03/2008

User recommends the product

Advantages Loads
Disadvantages Price,

Xbox 360 Premium Pack: There once was a time when gaming meant that you were a sad little geek who dwelled in your bedroom, loading sprites and pixels from a tape each blip and bong meant you were one step closer to becoming an even bigger loser in social circles! Now a day's thankfully gaming has become acceptable your probably still a geek but in the noughty's its cool to be a Geek, also thankfully though it doesn't any longer mean we have to be content with sticks hitting small squares and shooting fake asteroids with little triangle spaceships', no my geeky friends we are upon the time ... more

The Daddy Console 29/04/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages Graphics, Xbox Live
Disadvantages Peripherals Cost to Much

I only decided to purchase a 360 once the Microsoft 360 demonstration booths began to appear in local stores, and I could see first hand what all the hype had been about. Impressed, I sold a rare guitar I owned, and sat in the comfort of my own home wading through eBay listings until I found a realistically priced 'Buy it now' auction that had literally just been placed online. Two days after launch, and exactly 24 hours after I had placed my eBay bid, I received the most eagerly awaited console to date. So, I can't claim to have even waited, unless you count 24 hour delivery as excessive! My ... more

Another honest review. Xbox 360 06/05/2008

User recommends the product

Advantages Great system, Xbox live rocks!, great graphics and looks great
Disadvantages Bad reliability

The Xbox 360 is an amazing machine, no really it is! But if you are going to buy one be prepared to get it replaced every once in a while... On to the review! THE GAMES The Xbox 360 caters strongle to the shooter fans likes (Like me of course!) with amazing titles to play on, including the likes of Halo 3, Call of Duty 4 and Gears of War all of which are simply amazing offline but the real fun starts online. But that section comes later! Aswell as catering to the shooter fans needs this console also strongly supports many other genres such as Adventure, RPG and Action games. My favourite ... more

The Xbox Returns, Looking Less Like Darth Vader 21/07/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages Fantastic gameplay, easy to use, includes a DVD player, Wireless controllers
Disadvantages The wireless controllers battery pack upgrade, The backward compatability of certain games

When I dropped into the regular Friday lunch time session in the pub that I was intent on buying an XBox 360 the look I got was akin to the look on your parents face when you announced something major. It was that look that screamed out do you really think your still 18, why on earth are you buying one of those. My reasoning was quite simple, I had an Xbox and as this was the next step thought I'd give it a go as I'm still a bit of a kid at heart. Anyway for those nights in with a few mates, a crate of Beer and a bit of food there is nothing better, Before now I'd been more on the Playstation ... more
