The good: All games for the Xbox 360 are in high-definition, as is the excellent, user-friendly Dashboard interface. There's built-in support for wireless controllers and excellent online gaming, content downloads, and communications via Xbox Live. The console is not only backward compatible with many (but not all) original Xbox titles, but it also doubles as a superior digital media hub and Windows Media extender. The system's online Marketplace allows easy purchases of mini-games, movies, and TV shows.

The bad: The list of truly impressive next-gen games remains small. The console has some design flaws: a noisy exhaust fan, a gigantic oversized power supply, no built-in wireless networking, only three USB ports, and no DVI or HDMI output. The DVD player is rather substandard, and support for next-gen HD-DVD movies requires a bulky external accessory. Additionally, the system's customary 20GB hard drive can't store a lot of high-definition downloadable content. Online gaming requires a paid subscription to Xbox Live.

The bottom line: The Xbox 360 delivers the power and performance of a high-end gaming PC, including impressive digital media and networking features.

  XBOX 360 Elite Premium Arcade Top Information & review
Review created: 21/03/07(updated 20/09/08)
101 of 110 people found this review helpful.

*(September 2008 Update)* I stated on an earlier update you should wait a bit, well the 360's new price cut has now arrived! £30 has been knocked off each system making the Arcade £129.99, Premium (60GB) £169.99 and the Elite is now £229.99! What a bargain!

(August 2008 update)* Microsoft have released the 60GB premium xbox 360, this will replace the 20GB model and is the same price RRP £199 so its a real bargain! This means over the next few months the 20GB model is going to be sold off cheap untill the stock has run out, you can find some really good deals eg.. xbox 360 20GB console 2 official wireless pads and 2 games for £179! You might want to wait though as there is going to be a price cut sometime between now and christmas (September is predicted) across the whole range, Arcade, Premium and the Elite models.

*(UPDATE)* Most 360's fitted with an HDMI output (Late 2007 - 2008 onwards Elite, Premium & Arcade models) have been internally redesigned to try to stop the red light failure happening.

I have owned an Xbox 360 from launch and I am on my third due to them becoming faulty. Here is some information I wish I had known! My advice to anyone purchasing a 360 is to get one manufactured late 2007 onwards and this is for two reasons..

1.early Xbox's were much more prone to crash's and the widely known "red ring of death" which indicated hardware failure and a costly bill to get it repaired if not under warranty. This problem featured on BBC's Watchdog. Recently Microsoft have extended the warranty to three years for any problems relating to the red ring of death which is reasurring.

2.Microsoft have used 3 different dvd/cd drives, this can be determined by the look of the disc tray (do a google search). All models manufactured after jan 2007 were using the third drive which according to internet sources is not just much quieter (the 360 suffers from a very loud combination of the disc drive and fans) but apparently also smoothes out loading times.

Problems aside its excellent, it is truly next generation, the graphics are outstanding, the control pads are a dream and the whole package, wireless pad, xbox live, headset, dvd player and hard drive all combine to give you more than a console has offered before at a very reasonable price. Thinking back to xbox 1 initial £300 price tag and Nintendo N64 were £250, so with inflation and what you get 360's are a bargain at £280.
There is much speculation of a 360 Elite pack coming out (around end of april), the Xbox 360 & pad being black (looks sweet check it out on the internet in a google search) Its hard drive will dwarf the premium's 20GB harddrive at 120GB! also the xbox will have an HDMI output included.
(*UPDATE*) Now released ,The Elite is an excellent update of the 360!
Inline with the release of this is speculation of a price drop so maybe you should wait and see what happens and save a bit of cash, but do get one, trust me they are a quality piece of kit with an ever growing collection of superb games.
I hope this review was helpful to someone, all the best Jake (PJMCCLARNON)

  X-BOX 360 CONSOLE & WIRELESS CONTROLLERS.
Review created: 03/10/08

This is an excellent x-box. The graphics are astounding. It came with 2 wireless controllers and both are in perfect working order. We also got a intercooler with it. Everything was first class.
We decided to buy it as my son was desperate for an x-box 360 and we waited to get a reliable one from a trusted seller and we were not disappointed.
Highly recommended to anyone looking for an x-box 360. Go for it!!

you can chat to people whilst playing the game. I bought the game for my son who wanted to play with his friend and its the best thing ive ever bought him it keeps him occupied for hours whilst saving on my phone bill because he can now chat to his friend through the Xbox. Its Brill.

  THINGS TO KNOW...
Review created: 02/10/08
by:

Tracking down an eBay bargain Xbox 360 console is a great entry-level to experiencing this gamers delight... but you have to be patient and carefully weed out the 'duff deals'. Common sense and not rushing into anything is the key (we found the Bid Assistant particularly helpful for this!).



This was bought specifically for our 12-year old son and for one game in particular. He has now extended his collection to 2 games, also both found on eBay.

Apart from the great graphic detail that is to be expected from this particular console, the wireless controller is a great boon! Not so great is the fact that it is a noisy console when used in conjunction with the (advised) cooler unit... it sounds like there is a VCR tape rewinding constantly!

  Brilliant for the price...
Review created: 21/09/08
by:

Xbox's are getting cheaper by the week, They're now at £159.99...
And in some shops they can be even cheaper!
Brilliant games, Over 500 to choose from all brilliantly fun.
Xbox live is an absolute must, It will improve the overall experience and you may even make some friends along the way.
A big HDD is not really needed unless you will store lots of music/films/demo's.
Far cheaper than the ps3, And even the wii...
An absolute must for any gamer!

  Quick summary of Xbox 360
Review created: 09/09/08
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

as you are probably aware the Xbox 360 is one of the current next gen consoles avaliable at the moment, there are 3 basic types;

Core Console (with 64MB Memory Card)
Premium (with 20GB HDD)
Elite (with 120GB HDD)

if you are not planning on playing online a core will suit you fine, they all do the same job the spec is identical between them the only diffrence are the extras,

you can pick up a core console with a few games for as little as £100.

games are relativly cheap as well most being avaliable for under £10

The gay(play)station takes ages to load games compared to the leader of gaming. I have played on both systems and without a doubt the xbox 360 has won.

At present I'm involed with the seller of this xbox, It arrived late so I contacted Pay pal to log a dispute the xbox arrived but was not sold as per ad in excellent condition It only worked for 10 minuits, so we sent it back to the seller he told us it was working fine but this guy has a computer repair business I told him just please return my funds after many e-mail he made an offer of a £150 pounds we said yes to close this long saga, this was on the 13/08/08 still no payment has been recieved. I contacted pay pal and they can't re-open the case as we did recieve the ibox even though it was 10days late and the dispute was for late deliver but it did'nt work when we did recieve it. This guy has my son birthday money the next move is for me to take him to the small clims court which i have informed him of but he will not reply tro my e-mails now so I'll have to inform the Police of my action next.Dear john_beer1,

I am willing to offer a refund to you as I need the space in my office, but due to the time it has taken for this to be sorted and the fact that there is nothing wrong with the console, the offer is £150 back. I know this is lower than the price you paid but the dispute you opened cost me a lot more, plus my auction fees and paypal fees. Please let me know if this is ok, thanks This was agreed no payment recieved.

  Fantastic Console
Review created: 02/09/08

The 360 premium is obviously not as good as the elite. Just to make it clear to people who are confused the premium does NOT have HDMI out. Just 1080p component. Other wise fantastic console. Microsoft points are a little over priced but not much you can do.
