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

...- however i guess microsoft use this money to improve their services, since they such a honest company- :P NOT- PS3 has live which is FREE!!!! - A very short Ethernet cable- annoying since if your internet connection is away from the room you put your Xbox in you'll have to get a extension or the Xbox wireless card- roughly £60 - how expensive :( - thats the advantage of the PS3. A built in wireless adaptor and its FREE online. - HD AV Cable ... Read review

Advantages: Loads

...games are more sophisticated now Microsoft still recognise we still go for the high score and proved this with the success of the gamer card, so you will need to setup your Xbox Live, Now you have 2 options, Live silver or gold, silver is free and allows access to your gamer score, some downloads and a few other online features, Gold is 34.99 a year and allows full access to everything online including multiplayer gaming in my opinion it's well ...

Advantages: Graphics, Xbox Live
Disadvantages: Peripherals Cost to Much

...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 ... Read review

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

...the full but it means Microsoft have a budget pack on the market as well as the full system. I decided that for me it was best to just buy the full system now and save the money later but obviously everyone will have their own opinion on that front. The great thing about the 360 is the fact you just plug it in and it's ready to go. To many the Xbox 360 will just look like another games console but if you like games and enjoy that bit of escapism ... Read review

Advantages: Next-Gen console, never before seen graphics, outstanding gameplay.
Disadvantages: Early versions had minor faults, some bugs found in certain games.

Microsoft wanted to make sure this time around that they didn't loose out to Sony in the race for being the best developers of next-gen consoles. As a result they released the Xbox 360 about a year ago, and although early stock was limited, and the stock that was available had some minor faults, it has only gone from strength to strength ever since. With the Sony PS3 now put back to a March 2007 European release date, this Christmas Microsoft look ... Read review

Advantages: price, availability of cheap second hand games, loads of game choice

A large central power button is located on the front with 4 LED light strips around it. These LEDs serve to indicate the status of your wireless ... Read review

Advantages: Good range of add-ons
Disadvantages: add-ons are expensive

...no news yet If the Microsoft will release a 120 GB hard drive upgrade, In my opinion they should, but it's unlikely to happen for a while , since Microsoft would want people to buy the Elite Console rather than simply upgrade your premium. To enable your Xbox 360 to access the internet wirelessly will set you back another £60. That’s a hefty price when you consider that 54Mbps wireless card for a PC would be about £20 or less. A 64MB memory ... Read review

Advantages: Graphics, Sound, Smaller appearance
Disadvantages: Slightly loud, wish was cheaper

I bought Xbox 360 just after Christmas 2008, I got mine from Game Station for around £160 for the premium one, must have went down around Christmas because its went back up for premium the contents I got with the console are : Two wireless controllers Ethernet cable which isn't very long 60GB hard drive which you can take out Headset for when your playing with other users to communicate SILVER membership but one months free GOLD membership I also ...

Advantages: Great Value for money, great games, fantastic online play
Disadvantages: Bulky and xboxlive is expensive

...months (new prices) and for microsoft points it is around £35 pounds for around 4000, but those won't last you long. If however you don't want to pay all that money then you can stick with the free silver membership which still allows you to buy things on xbox marketplace and chat with friends, but you do miss out on playing against your friends. Another set back is the fact that you need broadband. The easiest and fastest way to connect to xbox live ... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic graphics, comfortable and solid controler, excellent online features
Disadvantages: Noisy, expensive games, hard disk could be bigger, wireless is a battery hog!

Microsoft worked hard to crack the video games market with it's original XBOX, but never quite made it. Over 20 million were sold, but it was big and expensive for them to make. With Sony's impending Playstation sequel, Microsoft had to act fast. In brief, the XBOX was essentially a Custom designed PC with a fast graphics system, whereas the 360 was designed from the ground up with games in mind. From the custom CPU to the custom graphics chip, ... Read review

Advantages: Reasonable price
Disadvantages: freezes, glitches, crashes, noisey, overheats, poor choice of games

...games, others freezing, crashing- and Microsoft have refused to admit there is a problem. Now onto the interesting thing. Did you know that running the next gen consoles through 'component' cables- isn't full HD quality? Only HDMI is- and the only console to do that...the ps3. Xbox360 make you buy points to get good online features- ps3 don't. The online side of the 360 is poor, I played online- and could only find one other person with a headset- ... Read review
