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...

It is a direct competitor of other leading seventh generation console such as Nintendo Wii and Playstation 3. It comes in three versions namely Arcade, Premium and Elie; each having its own features and accessories. The development of this gadget is in cooperation with IBM, Sis and ATI. The Good The Xbox 360 boasts a huge library of games, with several essentials titles in every conceivable genre.

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 A great console to buy.

Advantages: Good value for money, looks quite trendy
Disadvantages: live points can mean extra to pay out if you want to go online.

...In my opinion the XBOX 360 is a really good buy priced at around £200 if not less if your lucky, it's a console that you (or whoever you intend on purchasing one for) will get a lot of use out of. The arcade is the cheapest and it costs around £140. My son and my brother both had one each for christmas last year and they have been used pretty much constantly!! The games can be quite expensive but you can find some good bargains in some shops and you'll find pre-owned games a lot cheaper, sometimes saving atleast £20 off the usual selling price! They aren't that bad to look at either and do not look out of place under you TV. I know with some XBOX 360 consoles you can get problems such as 'the red ring of death' but microsoft will usually sort this out for you if it's still under warranty (not sure if there is a cost) but this...

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 - welcome to the (games)revolution

Advantages: Fantastic graphics, comfortable and solid controler, excellent online features
Disadvantages: Noisy, expensive games, hard disk could be bigger, wireless is a battery hog!

...Microsoft worked hard to crack the video games market with it's original XBOX, but never quite made it. Over 20 million were sold, but it was big and expensive for them to make. With Sony's impending Playstation sequel, Microsoft had to act fast. In brief, the XBOX was essentially a Custom designed PC with a fast graphics system, whereas the 360 was designed from the ground up with games in mind. From the custom CPU to the custom graphics chip, everything has been designed to get the most out of the least. Armed with a Tri-core PowerPC CPU, running at 3.2 ghz, it can run 6 program threads at once. This essentially means that it has 3 PowerPC cores doing 2 things at once each... not bad for gaming! Then there's the Xeons Graphics GPU from ATI, designed especially for Microsoft using a 'Unified Shaders' system for rendering...

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...
