360 - All the way round

Advantages: All the basics you need to get started
Disadvantages: No hard drive or HDMI cable

...The X-Box 360 Arcade package is probably the cheapest X-Box package currently available and contains just about everything you need to get you started in your gaming experience. Personally, I see this more as a starters kit, it contains all the basics that you need and that's about it, so it's a good package for testing the X-Box out and finding out if you'd like to upgrade. I bought one of these around Christmas time (2008) for around £130, just after they came right down in price and must say that I am more than satisfied with the product. The arcade pack comes in with twelve months warranty, though a lot of people say that the X-Box console has a tendency to pack in just as the warranty runs out. However, there is also an option to buy an extra five years insurance for just £50 working out at £10 a year so it's definitely worth...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Arcade

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 360

Advantages: Cheaper setup than PS3, better pad, best game selection, xbox live is amazing
Disadvantages: Paying for xbox live (after 3years of live, a PS3 works out cheaper), can be noisey, Wi-Fi is extr

...Ok, here's a quick run down of my thoughts on the 360, probably throw in a few comparisons with the PS3, won't bother too much with the Wii since it's not really what I would class as a serious games machine, good fun in short spells or with "non-gamers" but that's about it. Had the 360 for a couple of years now, I was seduced by Halo 3 having been addicted to the first 2 games on the original, I'm a little bit of a FPS nut so I'm well covered with the 360 as that seems to be the systems main genre as it was with the original. It's probably been the most fun system I've owned since the dreamcast (class machine, sorely missed) or the mega drive (Genisis for anyone on the wrong side of the Atlantic). Main reasons for going with the 360? ok, it's initially cheaper to buy in the short term (works out more expensive over time with xbox...

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...

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...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite

xbox 360

Advantages: graphics, gameplay
Disadvantages: cost of live subscription

...The microsoft xbox 360 is in my opinion the best games console out there, ultimately enhanced by the superb online gameplay capabilities and magnificient graphics which it has. It is incredibly easy to use (even my dad can use it) and it is easy to transfer date from a computer to it also. There is a huge variety of games that can be played on it and the games that can only be played on the xbox 360 (gears of war, halo 3) are better than the games that can only be played on Sony Playstation 3 (Little Big Planet). Even though the online gameplay costs, (£5 a month if paying monthly) it makes up for it with seriously awesome gameplay compared to PS3 live which is free however not as good. Another factor that I like about the Xbox 360 is that you can earn achievements when you complete certain missions or find something during...

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

...I bought my Elite for around £300 around 2 years ago from the Game store in Nottingham. It came with one game and seemed very reasonably priced compared to the premium console as it was only around £50 more and included a 120GB hard-drive!! which is massive, and would set you back atleast £60 but at the time even £120 to buy seperately. Plus at the time this was the only xbox to have HDMi for easy connection to a HD TV through one small cable. I understand that alot of people may love the PS3, and thats ok if you can settle for an inferior console, I just want to warn any PS3 fanboys (or fangirls) you should look away now :P There are so many great things about the xbox 360 Elite. First of all I think it is the nicest looking console ever (smaller and more colourfull lights then the PS3 :) Apart from the classics of the Super...
