Xbox 360 - The first of the Next-Gen consoles.

Advantages: Next-Gen console, never before seen graphics, outstanding gameplay.
Disadvantages: Early versions had minor faults, some bugs found in certain games.

...it seems that the problems are in the past, as sales continue to rise towards Christmas. With a host of great games being available such as the massive PC hit Fear and the groundbreaking Gears Of War, there is no doubt that 360 games will be hitting the top of the gaming charts this winter. Overall Microsoft have delivered a console worthy of the title 'Next-Gen' the graphics and advancements in gameplay are something every gamer should experience. With Greater games lined up next year and Xbox live getting bigger and better by the minute it seems that Sony will have a job on their hands to stop the Microsoft juggernaut rolling to the top of the console charts once again....

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 40gb Console

Advantages: Great graphics, Great sound, easy set up
Disadvantages: Aimed at the older gamer

...Having owned a Nintendo Wii for 9 months and an old Playstation 2, I had no need to buy a new console, then bang the Playstation went up in a puff of smoke. So what to buy next Playstation 3 or XBOX 360. When push came to shove it came down to price, at nearly £150 less the XBOX was the only real choice for our family. The excitement built as we unpacked and set up which was really easy with the quick set up guide and easy to understand manual in about 20 different languages. The XBOX was just what we'd expected fantastic graphics and superb sound easy to use and excellent value for money. The only drawback i've encountered is that it is aimed at the older gamer with lots of gory bloodthirsty games, if you've got to younger children this probably not the console for you. I would advise choosing the Wii and having a fantastic family...

THE XBOX 360 CONSOLE IS THE BEST CONSOLE EVER!!!

Advantages: great for all round entertainment
Disadvantages: none

...------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Games aren't too expensive either, as they can seriously range from time to time... The XBox 360 is a great console which allows you to take almost any game and make it your own... And I don't mean by modification either, I mean by the fact you will enjoy almost any game possible... The cheapest game I have ever encountered was roughly £4.50 (Which was on Ebay Also!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Xbox Live - Online Gaming ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Xbox is one of the biggest online gaming consoles for everyone... The cost of Xbox Live for 12 Month membership is not too expensive and means that you are able to "jump-in" any time you want, whatever day of the year... Xbox Live is a great service which...

XBOX 360 - A gem in the console world

Advantages: Graphics, cost, game catalouge.
Disadvantages: XBOX Live

...I am quite a demanding gamer.... but alas i have given in to the xbox 360 and have even bought one for my little brother. The best thing about the xbox 360is the quality and catalouge of games which it supports. Microsoft have hit the nail on the head with its graphics which I think are far better than its rival ( sorry sony ) . The set up of the console is extremely easy and wireless control pads stop us from tripping over it like we did with our old console. The cost of the xbox 360 is very competitive compared to rival game stations and depending on where you shop you can now get an extremely good deal including game bundles. XBOX 360 used to have some issues with the dreaded "red ring of death" ( console stops working) but we have had ours for two years and no such problems have arisen. Microsoft have claimed that newer...

xbox 360 premium console

Advantages: superb gfx, hd compatible
Disadvantages: noisy, gets rather heated

...As soon as i heard about the new xbox 360 console i knew i had to buy it but sadly did not get till a few months after its realese date.Personally i tend to buy the most upgraded version of a console i can so i choose the premium console over the standard console. this saves you alot of money as a hard drive,hd cable and wireless controlers that are in the premium console,sold seperattly would set you back £100 round about. having bought my xbox with top games i turned on and setting up and signing to xbox live could not have been easy with the helpful aid to guide you through. Having created profiles i played the truly amazing PGR3 and the amazing graphics that the 3 cores running at around 3.2 ghz and the graphics card chucked out shocked me and the 1080i HD image blew me away as played on what seemed like the most real experience...

Xbox 360 Arcade - wonderful console, let down a bit by microsoft

Advantages: good range of games; enjoyable Xbox live service; perfect starter-kit
Disadvantages: certain techno faults; difficult dealing with manufacturer

...to Xbox Live so that everyone can at least try the system for themselves. While it is not necessarily useful if you don't have a number of good friends with whom you wish to play, but the Xbox is also great without the Live feature: Packaged games The games that are included in these boxed packages can vary, but with ours we got Sega Superstar Tennis and Trivial Pursuit. I've played and enjoyed both of these, and I think that these provided games are a real boost for new players/purchasers. Range of games The politics of games releases sometimes leads to disappointment. No matter which console you have, there will always be at least ONE game that you can't get for it. However, I have found that the Xbox has far and away the best range of games available, and the quality of new releases seems to have improved recently...

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

...live @ £40 a year), I could play most of my original xbox titles on it so the old system could go into the bedroom, & the biggest reason of all, NOTHING FOR THE PS3 EXCITED ME! Don't get me wrong, I've since bought a PS3, but there were no games out for it that weren't available on the 360 that interested me! That situation hasn't really changed with the exception of resistance & killzone2. The looks of the box, well, thats up to you, the brick power supply was a little odd, but it's hidden out of sight, so who cares, reasonably loud noise coming from the system when it is running, but to be honest, when I'm sucked into a game, I'm oblivious to it! Especially when the 5.1 is pumped up (my apologies to all my neighbours :D) Control pad? almost excellent, the D-pad lets it down (Sega managed to get the D-pad right almost 20 years ago, why can...

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...

Xbox 360 is surely the god of consoles

Advantages: Great hard drive capacity, top notch graphics,backwords compatible, downloadble content + loads more
Disadvantages: quite a large character, quite noisey but bearable, not many other flaws

...This surely has to be one of the best Consoles that i have ever played on!!!!!!!!!!!!! ive played on both the PS3 and the 360 and this is by far the greatest console built yet. Gaming has just gone up 1 levell!!!!! information and speculation of the xbox 360 ~~~ The Xbox 360 is smaller and sleeker than its predecessor, and can be operated in a horizontal or vertical position, similar to the PlayStation 2. The Xbox 360 was designed according to an "inhaling gesture" concept, and the longer edges of the console's front profile are slightly concave. The case is a silvery white color, but the unit accepts swappable face plates, available in a variety of colors and styles. The front of the console features two slots for memory cards and two USB ports. No physical controller ports are required, as standard Xbox 360 controllers...
