xbox elite

Advantages: online play, map updates, and the dreaded achivements
Disadvantages: the wife will divorce you, xbox live fee and fan is really loud

...on the xbox such as, gears of war 1 and 2, fable 2, fallout 3 and call of duty 4 which are all amazing games in hd. only thing that makes me choose the xbox elite over the playstation 3 is the online system that xbox uses is much better to playstions, but you pay £40 pounds a month and playstations is free. if playstations online system was nearly the same as xbox's i would defo transfer back to sony....

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite

Elite System

Advantages: Huge hard drive
Disadvantages: Large price!

...Welcome to the mother of all games consoles... the Xbox 360 Elite. With a massive 120Gb harddrive I can store all the videos,demos and game saves that my heart desires. So far I have only filled up 80Gb! The console comes in a sleek black finish and looks great next to my new widescreen TV, everyone notices it when they come round and they always say how nice it looks 'for a games console'. The chrome disk tray really stands out against the black and looks great. The console itself has so many games to choose from theres something for everyone, with exclusive titles such as Halo everyone should own one. Now the console does have its drawbacks, all 360's are prone to getting the RROD (red rings of death), this is an overheating problem which results in the 360 becoming unplayable; I would recommend positioning the console...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite

Xbox 360 Elite

Advantages: Powerfull
Disadvantages: Erm....... None!

...Power is the first thing that comes to mind when i think of the xbox 360 elite, it has a huge 120GB hard disk drive and the graphics seem to run alot smoother that the original xbox 360 for some reason. I had the original xbox 360 but that died on me about 2 weeks after buying, microsoft seem to have sorted out these little issues that kept crashing the system. The elite has a HDMI port which means you can connect this straght into your HD socket on your tv, I have a 42 inch plasma and i thought the graphics was good on my old Xbox 360 through a scart lead but once i plugged this in i was blown away! The graphics are amazing, perfect detail can be seen on the games that you play. You get the HDMI cable with this system too which is just great as they are quite exspensive to buy, you also get one black wirless controller and a headset...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite

Xbox 360 Elite

Advantages: Large 120GB Hard Drive, HDMI, Excellent online service
Disadvantages: Noisy at times, runs hot

...I have previously owned two Xbox 360 Premium consoles in the past. I decided to purchase again with the release of Halo 3. Overall I\'m very happy with the Elite. Its main advantage over the Premium is the larger 120GB hard drive. Compared to buying a console and the larger hard drive it represents good value for money. If you want to download lots of demos and not have to worry about lack of space then the bigger drive is definitely worth it. If you just want HDMI then that should now be available on the Premium console. Another thing that I have found with the past two consoles that I have owned run rather loud. The Elite seems to be slightly less noisy but this still depends on what DVD drive you get in your system. Unfortunately it is down to luck which one you\'ll get. You can identify the DVD drive manufacturer but this would be...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite

Xbox Elite, and it;s elite-ness!

Advantages: Quick and easy, reliable, looks good, large variety of games and features, Wireless functions.
Disadvantages: Costly, games when brand new can be costly, quite bulky!

...From my experiances of using consoles, I find the xbox in general to be very versatile, and reliable; it has a large choice of games ranging from childrens games, to more adult genre games, and even offers online options! You do in fact have to pay montly to use their online features but I personally find it very worth it, and not an issue at all. In my opinion I think Xboxes are lovely for all ages, and all genders, offering games which in fact could include the whole family, better yet the whole world! Elites offer a black console, extra memory and black accessories (also a cable which can hook up to a HD-ready televison for improved viewing), you are mainly paying for the masive memory that is included 125G, which you can store music on, games on, and various other content (ie. previews, downloads, demo's addones). I use my xbox...

Xbox 360 Elite - Good Enough

Advantages: * Greater Memory Capacity * Enhanced sound and graphics capabilities * Sleek black finish
Disadvantages: * Red Ring Returns * Fan Overheats

...360 consoles. Xbox's multiplayer capabilities are what sets it apart from Sonys Playstation 3. While online play is free and built in on the PS3 the world of Xbox LIVE is so much more advanced and makes multiplayer a necessity when you purchase the 360 console. For all its advantages the Elite also has its fair share of faults. The dreaded "red-ring" has returned to haunt users again in what seems to be an endless problem. As of yet I personally have not experienced the Red Ring of Death but do know people who have and they seem to think that this is a major problem with the 360 and can undermime its advantages. Another problem is the fan, which seems to overheat, cause a terrible noise and sometimes shuts down the console. All in all I believe that the 360 Elite is a good advance on its predecessors. With its new polished black finish...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite

Xbox 360 Elite - It covers all angles!

Advantages: Faster, Larger Memory, More Games, Fantastic Online System, Looks Stunning
Disadvantages: Slightly noisy when watching a dvd, will asorb you into a long life of gaming.

...A step above the Xbox 360 Pro and so much better than any other console for a number of reasons. First things first, why is it better then any other console like the PS3 and the Wii? Well the Wii is more of a novelty device, I only ever use mine if there are couple of friends around and need to play something that is not too strenous on the mind. Great for party gaming with a few beers and mates but nothing solid enough for long term gaming. The PS3 has many arguments going for it as it does have fantastic graphics but thats about it, there are a couple of exclusive games for it but nothing on the Elite again. It has the same controllers as before and could heat your house with the amount of warmth it gives off when on. But I digress.... The 360 Elite is the review.... and it rocks in everyway possible. The controllers are...

Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite - The User's Review

Advantages: Brilliant graphics, HDMI Output, Excellent Games Library, Xbox Live
Disadvantages: Expensive Games, Xbox Live Fee, Lack of Blu-Ray, Hardware Errors

...After hearing how good Microsoft's next-gen gaming console was, I decided to invest. And what a good choice that was. I purchased an Xbox 360 Elite last year and how glad I am that I did. Pro's: - Powerful graphic engine - Brilliant display at 1080p Full-HD (HDMI) - Brilliant line-up of games - Excellent online (Xbox Live) system Con's: - Games pricey at £40-50 each* - Xbox Live Subscription at £40 per year** - Lack of a Blu-Ray drive unlike its competitor, Sony PlayStation 3*** - Prone to crashes and hardware errors**** *New games are hard to find at prices lower than £40, which is a lot of money on top of what you pay for the console itself **Xbox Live is a very good service offering a full friends messaging system and a wide range of services such as Game Demo's and Arcade games but considering the Nintendo Wii...
