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...

Xbox 360

Advantages: Great graphics and Gameplay
Disadvantages: Not as good as a Wii for family play.

...Being a playstation boy I've never bothered with the Xbox, however through boredom and impulse I found myself buying an Xbox 360 one day. To coin a Carlsberg phrase, the 360 is probably the best console around. The graphics are second to none and until sony can get to grip with what they really want out of the PS3 the 360 will remain streets ahead. It is available from around £180 upwards depending on system and game bundles you purchase with it with again leaves it extremely better priced than the PS3. The controller whilst more bulky than sony controllers fits nicely in the hand and the rechargeable battery pack is a must get addition. I would say however that although there is a great variety of games available for the Xbox 360 it is undoubtedly at its greatest when playing shoot 'em up's, games such as Halo 3 and Gears...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360

XBOX 360

Advantages: Graphics, controllers, games, media storage
Disadvantages: No HDMI cable (although HDMI connectivity)

...The Xbox has been the best system you can buy for about four years, now they have finally come out with the new Xbox 360 witch produces much better graphics. The reason the Xbox was the best was because it can do a lot more than their competitors who created the Playstation 2. The Xbox produces way better graphics, you can download music onto it, it comes with a hard drive built in, you can have four players at once and with the PS2 you can only have two. The Xbox and the PS2 are even the same price, and the PS2 comes out costing more because you have to buy a memory card or you won't be able to save. Memory cards for the PS2 are about twenty dollars. In my opinion I thought that the Xbox controller was a lot better too. It fits into my hands perfectly and is just so much easier to use than the PS2's controller. There are more...

Xbox 360 - Review

Advantages: Fantastic graphical capability, Support for wireless controllers, looks sleek and sexy
Disadvantages: The Power Brick is well...A Brick, Noisy, Gets very hot.

...and are extremely smooth on a SDTV. Now, If you have a SDTV I recommend the Official Xbox 360 Advanced SCART Cable which will improve your 360s graphical performance on an SDTV and for just £17.99 is well worth it though you may feel that after forking out £279.99 or £199.99 respectivly that it should have perhaps been issued as standard. Trust me though, the 360 looks superb whatever TV you hook it up to, HD or SD! Core or Premium? Which bundle should I choose? PREMIUM!!! I cannot stress enough that the premium is the bundle to go for! The extra £80 is well worth it in the long run and will save you alot of hassle in the long run. Why I hear you ask, well here is why: Included in the Core pack you have: 1 Xbox 360 Console 1 WIRED gamepad 1 Composite AV cable (Meaning if you have an HDTV all games will run at Standard definition...

the xbox 360

Advantages: amazing graphics and has many features
Disadvantages: size and weight

...First hearing about the new xbox 360 coming out, i was utterly stunned at how microsoft could improve and produce a new xbox, better than the previous model they put on our shelves. The new slick curvey design that micro soft had intergrated into the new 360 makes the hole machine alot more cooler and represents itself in a hole new way of attracting attention from customers willing to pay the prices that the xbox was being sold at. The xbox 360 itself has got great visual aspects and the graphics i think are superb...a great improvement from the 1st xbox. Every game i play on the 360 really looks so life like, for example project gotham racing and test drive unlimited which are both driving simulation games have fantastic graphics with great detail right through to every car you drave and every track you choose upon to drive on...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360

Xbox 360 is amazing!

Advantages: looks amazing, good price, easy to use, good features
Disadvantages: noisy, quite large

...I got my xbox just over a year ago now, and I totally love it! really easy to setup and install straight out of the box - I have never had any problems with it - saying that, my brother also has an xbox 360 and experienced the 'red ring of death' which I believe is a fairly common thing, but there was no problem is sending the console back to microsoft - they arranged pickup and delivery of the console, and it has been working 100% ever since. I think the xbox 360 looks amazing, it sits really well beside my apple mac and speaker system as it is white, and really looks great. Compared to other consoles, i think the xbox controllers are by far the best, I can play for hours and hours and my hand still don't get sore like other consoles. the other feature I use a lot is the video library. I have my xbox networked to a desktop...
