Right, there is no stupid fanboy stuff in this. Just to start off. I sold my PS3 recently, to buy one of these. And I have to say that the Xbox is much better. Starting off with the design, it... more

    5 Stars The Best Console on the Market 10/12/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages slim, HD, Xbox LIVE

    Disadvantages Disadvantages headset

    We all know that nothing will ever beat a top quality PC rig for gaming. But if you want the best console (at around a quarter of the price of a PC rig) then the Xbox is definitely the best choice you can make. From unboxing, I knew that I’d made a good choice. The console comes well cushioned and padded. The outer box isn’t too ‘over the top’, simply displaying a few features. The extra included things (headset, power supply, controller w/ 2x AA batteries, standard definition AV cable) were separated into their own bags and compartments within the box (something mirrored with Xbox LIVE – the ... more

    5 Stars I love this console. 17/03/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fast, fun, loads of features and great graphics.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Online is expensive, needs batteries for the controller.

    Right, there is no stupid fanboy stuff in this. Just to start off. I sold my PS3 recently, to buy one of these. And I have to say that the Xbox is much better. Starting off with the design, it generally looks very sleek and nice, I've got the matte version, because I don't like fingerprint magnets. It has two touch sensitive buttons to turn it on, and open the disk tray, which I absolutely love. It's a small thing, but it counts. It has 5 USB ports, which is very good over the PS3's 2 USB ports. I think it has 2 HDMI ports in it too, I'm not sure, so don't go by what I say on that. The setup ... more

    4 Stars Xbox 360 Slim - Worth It? Review with images 01/07/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages ''Whisper Quiet'' ''Beautiful Design'' ''Boastful 250GB Internal Hardive'' ''Handy 802.11n Wi-Fi'

    Disadvantages Disadvantages ''No Significant Changes To Performance'' ''Wireless interrupted when upstairs''

    Xbox 360 Slim - Worth it? Looks May Decieve In the opinion of many people, it now appears that Microsoft's new release of their Xbox 360 Slim (as it's unofficial nickname) or Xbox 360 as its Official status is what's known as a smart but pointless release. In terms of it's new design the 'New Xbox 360 has really come upmarket it an attractive way, the new sleek design really does make it a proud member of your Entertainment Area and boosts that professional look, but it's Piano Black finish really does become an ''A class'' finger magnet and after polish disintegrates the delicate finish ... more

    5 Stars A greatly improved Xbox 360 console, with amazing storage 25/10/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Massive hard drive, wireless connection built-in, HDMI, so much quieter than the old model

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Maybe the price, audio cables

    I recently recieved the Micrososft Xbox 360 Slim with 250 GB hard disk for my birthday. This was a replacement for my original xbox 360 which keeps crashing and is about to give up on me entirely. The first thing that struck me is the noise, or lack of it, when I turned the new console on. Previous models are famous for sounding like a jumbo jet trying to take off, but happily this version of the console is more compact, much quieter, and far less likely to overheat. If you're into DLC (Downloadable Content) for your games, the 250gb hard disk gives you plenty of room. With the massive choice ... more

    5 Stars The Xbox 360 S is good value for money 25/07/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great catalogue of games, good range of features

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Loud, would of been to include the transfer cable.

    I bought this model of Xbox 360 after my first one died with an E72 error after 5 years of usage. Unlike the first design, this one has in-built wifi which is a useful addition. The box also includes a wireless controller, a composite cable (which doesn't include a component cable unlike the other xbox I owned), power cables and a headset. It has a glossy black finish, which for me is alittle too shiny, but it's not too offensive. The device was easy to set-up and once powered on, it was easy to get going and start playing games. I do like that Microsoft made it relatively easy to transfer ... more

    Is the new and improved rather excessive hard drive needed?

    Was just wondering whether overall owners of this product could justify the need for 250GB. Wondering myself whether i should purchase one of these to replace my elite and the larger hard drive seems to be the only major difference for the price?? Would appreciate any replies especially as it is coming up to christmas soon and i would expect retailers to be increasing the quantity of deals on products such as this :)
