Xbox 360 Elite

Advantages: just a great overall console
Disadvantages: can break if you do not have the elite

...also supported. As online gaming services go, Xbox Live is unmatched, especially when it comes to multiplayer gaming, while media streaming and a decent movie download store boost the 360?s non-gaming skills. The bad It?s a shame that the 360?s reliability and build quality doesn?t match its graphical and online talents. It?s well known that the machine itself has been plagued with overheating problems (although Microsoft?s three-year warranty ensures duff consoles are eventually repaired or replaced), but the hugely noisy cooling fans and disc drive are also incredibly annoying, especially if you?re using the console to watch a movie. The bottom line Despite its hardware issues, the Xbox 360 is the best of the current gen consoles when it comes to pure, hardcore gaming. It?s got the best online service and the best selection of games...

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...

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...

360% Brilliance

Advantages: Great Graphics, Great Looks, Great Controller
Disadvantages: Breaks easily - Red Lights of death, Time doesn't stay the same when you turn it off

...I have been thinking about buying an Xbox 360 since it came out and a few weeks ago, I bought one from Game station. I paid £199.99 for the Core Console and a game, this game being Call of Duty 3 (see other review), I thought that this was a very good deal so went for it. If you are thinking of waiting for the price to go down, don't bother because Microsoft are already losing money on them but are getting the money back by charging high prices for the games. The basic (CORE) package gets you a XBOX 360 with one pad and the AV connection cables, and a white disc drive The Premium XBOX 360 package gets you a Multi-AV cable (High Definition component cables), Hard drive (20gb), Wireless Game pad, Communication headset (plugs into the pad) and a silver DVD Drive. Both of these come with an external power brick that's at least...

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...

Xbox 360 Elite - Good Enough

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

...In my opinion, the Xbox 360 elite is the complete package when it comes to entertainment. However, when you pay in the region of £200 plus for any console you expect a flawless system, this is not the case with the Xbox 360 Elite. The first noticeable difference from Microsofts first installement in the 360 series is the colour. The new polished black matte finish is definately a striking feature and this itself sets it apart from its predecessors. On a more internal note the gaming system has been improved to support higher graphical and sound capabilities and the hardrive has been expanded so users can potentially store 120gb worth of photos, music, films and games. While the games that can be bought for the 360 are normally a spectacle on their own, nothing compares to the online LIVE feature that was present on the original...

Xbox 360 Elite console is designing the future of gaming!!

Advantages: Huge selection of Exclusives unavalible of other consoles and Xbox Live
Disadvantages: The dreaded read ring of death, paying for Xbox live

...Xbox 360 Elite Console Now i'm sure you don't want to know why you should buy this console, but instead why you should buy this console over the Wii or Playstation 3. Now I truely believe that nowadays everyone should own some sort of gaming console, because you don't know what your missing if you don't. It has everything you could possibly want from a console and Microsoft are continuously updateing the experience through Xbox Live and new features soon to be released. Firstly, the Xbox 360 console has a huge variety of exclusives to its vast array of games. An eclusive is a game that is only one the Xbox 360 and no other console has. The Xbox in my opinion has the greatest list of Exclusives ranging from Halo 3 and Gears of War 1 & 2 to Fallout 3 and Forza Motorsport 3, as well as the huge collection on multiple consoles such...

Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite - Best console ever made!

Advantages: Looks good/Good storage/Great games/Great graphics/can play films and videos/music/lots lots more.
Disadvantages: Very expensive accesories, especially the wireless adaptor

...Nintendo and the 1st Playstation, I have been an Xbox fan all my life :). I have always found the games to be much better and play better and ofcourse, have way better controllers. The menu's and interface of the 360 are very good, customisable, colourfull and simple to use, you couldn't ask for more! (They even make very satisfying sounds as you flick the different slides!). If you have a favourite game or movie you can get themes to customise your xbox with, or even if you have your own pictures you can set them as a background. The games on the 360 are the greatest thing about it (obviously). The sheer number of great games out there now is good enough reason to buy it, but not only that. Many of the gratest games ever are 'Xbox 360 Exclusives'! including Halo3 Gears of War, Fable 2(when it's out) and many more. This is simply...
