    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 Gaming Heaven 06/08/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Beautifully designed, excellent game play, good value, awesome XBOX LIVE.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Heat's up a lot.

    I am an XBOX man. I have had Playstation's come and go, but this machine is the one. The sleek design, quieter than before cooling system (how effective, I'm not sure), and touch button fascia are all welcome additions. Internal Wi-Fi is the consoles strongest point over previous XBOX releases, because it allows you to get XBOX LIVE. Consoles will never be as good as PC gaming, but this comes mighty close.The graphics and sound performance are excellent with the HDMI outlet, and with 5 USB ports an external hard drive or flash drive can be read and used. I find the console easy to use, meaning ... 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 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

    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

    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

    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 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
