Xbox 360 has a great online service and games to go with it but I would defiantly buy ps3 instead. Why? Xbox 360 has about a 50% rate of braking, thats almost like taking 300 dollars and throwing them away. Xbox 360 also has a big disk drive problem, Microsoft has said that they have fixed this problem in there newer models but I have a falcon chip model "the newer model" and it still scratches my games. Xbox 360 has awesome games thats why I bought mine, but if your going to buy one for gaming I would definitely go with a 60gb at least, your probably thinking why when you can buy a 20gb and it would do the same things well let me tell you the truth if you don't want your games to scratch or even worse the RROD then its better to download all your games onto your hard drive.Vollständige Rezension lesen
When I decided to join the next gen gaming world, I knew I would need an XBOX 360. Everything I had heard about the console, the achievement system (finally recognition for going that extra mile) and the Live network was positive, and in the opinionated world of gamers, that's a rare thing. The only problem reported was one of overheating, but if you allow the system plenty of breathing room like the manual says, you shouldn't have problems. DON'T TUCK ANY XBOX 360 INTO A CROWDED ENTERTAINMENT CENTER.* Even before I activated my free month of XBOX Live Gold service, I found lots of cool things to do with Silver -- I downloaded video clips, rearranged my dashboard graphics numerous times and played over a dozen game demos. I toyed around with the thing for over a week before even opening the disc tray! Since I was entering the "revolution" late, I decided to get a special system. Halo 3 was just launched and since I like to avoid crowds, I waited to pick up the Special Edition System -- a little too late, as all the local copies disappeared around Christmas (especially embarrassing considering I work for a Videogame retailer). Luckily I found a few on eBay and pounced before these limited edition systems were all gone... again. I have the Legendary Edition Halo 3 Game which comes with a game holder in the shape of Master Chief's helmet, so this Special Edition Console fits the aesthetics of my Game Room. I could have easily bought the equivalent Pro System and added the bundled accessories separately, but if I couldn't get one of these I would have waited for an Elite to become available for its larger Hard Drive and included HDMI cable (I'm planning to go Hi-Def with a projector also). Although I'm usually not one to go for form over function, I'm happy with the compromise. P.S. I was also pleased to find that the wireless controller comes with a rechargeable battery pack AND a unit that accepts AA batteries. Wasn't expecting that. Oh, and while vertical positioning looks cool, there exists a very real possibility that a vertically spinning disc could tilt inside the tray and become damaged. It's best to put it on its side like a DVD Player. * I saw a major network news report online that pointed out this "flaw" and they interviewed a pair of gamers who had sent their XBOX 360 back to Microsoft multiple times due to overheating. They even purchased a second one to use while the first was being replaced/repaired. The cameraman zoomed in on the tight bookshelf they were keeping their game system in and I was shocked when no one said "No wonder! That thing has ventilation holes for a reason, you know." They relly missed an opportunity to provide a public service there.Vollständige Rezension lesen
The Xbox 360 is all about High Definition (HD). All games designed for the Xbox360 are required to be developed for 720p and 1080i resolutions. They are also optimized for 16:9 widescreen formatted displays. This doesn’t mean that you absolutely need an HDTV to run the Xbox 360, although your games and multimedia will look far better if you do have one. Picture 022 (Small).jpg The Xbox 360 has a detachable 20GB hard drive component placed on top of the console. You don’t need the hard drive to play Xbox 360 games but you won’t be able to save content onto your console without one. You also won’t be able to play legacy Xbox games on the 360 console without the hard drive since software emulators need to be downloaded to support the legacy games. The console has three USB ports designed to allow you to easily connect a wide range of accessories and devices including portable music players. This currently includes the Apple iPod and the Sony PSP – at least until either company decides to not make the devices compatible with the 360. What this means is – you can stream music and photos from these portable devices directly to your 360 via the USB port. The flavors of Xbox 360 Initially, the Xbox 360 will come in two different packages - the Xbox 360 and the Xbox 360 Core System. The Core system is exactly that – what you need at a bare minimum to enjoy the Xbox 360 console (or so they say!). This includes: # Console # Wired Controller # Composite AV Cable The Xbox 360 package (otherwise known as the Premium package by some) comes with: # Console with Chrome Finish # Hard Drive # Wireless Controller # Xbox Live headset # Component HD AV Cable # Ethernet Cable Initially, the Xbox 360 package will also include a media remote control which is ok at best but not the ideal solution for a full blown home theater setup. Which package should you purchase? If you do the math on the costs of the extra components, the Xbox360 package is the clear winner. If you even want to even consider playing any of the original Xbox games, you’ll need the hard drive which means you might as well go for the Xbox 360 package. I could see the core system being an option if you want a second or third 360 system at home for networked environments or for streaming content from one room to another. More on this later on. A look at the 360 We’ll focus the rest of the review on the Xbox 360 package. It’s important to note that the package reviewed here was actually purchased at the Zero Hour event. These packages included a media remote control which is available for only a limited time apparently. # Setting up the Xbox 360 The Xbox360 setup is very straight forward although the documentation is unfortunately skimpy. If you’re familiar with electronics then installing the 360 will be a cinch otherwise it might take you some time. Installing the 360 involves the following steps: # Connect the AV cable from the Xbox 360 to your television set or to your A/V receiver # Connect the Ethernet cable to the Xbox 360 # Connect the power supply to the Xbox 360 # Press power and off you go There are a couple of things to note. If you have an HDTV, you’ll need to flip a switch on the AV cable that switches the display ratio format from 4:3 to 16:9 otherwise you’ll only see 4:3 ratios on your widescreen display. This seems a bit old school but OK. Overall Rating- 11 out of 10Vollständige Rezension lesen

The cable that was provided didn't work. Not sure if it's the cable or the Xbox port or the tv. HDMI works and it's better. Only major issue is, the DVD rom won't open. I even tried the emergency The front bezel, the door to the USB ports was broken and hot glued closed, it's missing it's spring. Shoddy work. I was able to fix it, I have a spare front bezel and working as it should. DVD hole and still won't open. That is disappointing. For my purpose for the xbox, it's not the vital for it to work. I do feel that it's not work the amount I paid for the issue. Other than that, looks great.
