Xbox 360

By Randolph Ramsay on 16 February 2006

The vast multimedia functionality and smooth Xbox Live integration of the 360 places it streets ahead of current generation consoles. The graphics may not blow everyone away, but it’s an impressive overall machine from Microsoft.

    • Good: to be honest i really can't think of any
    • Bad: the design, the controllers, the graphics, that just about sums it up

    come on, for god sake sought it out, how can you say the XBOX is better than the PS3??? PLEASE!!! tell me how it is??? i wouldn't have an XBOX if you gave it to me, well maybe as a foot warmer

    i rather play with the big power adapter that comes with the x box more fun.

    • Good: Great game variety and game play especially Xbox live features
    • Bad: Red Rings of death is a big downer as this problem has been happening since 360 release with no perminant fix I have been lucky only having it twice in 2 years but still an inconvience. will not buy again after warranty expires.

    Have xbox 360 & a PS3 prefer the xbox 360 for the game range such as Gears & Halo. Love the Xbox 360

    • Good: GREAT RANGE OF GAMES
      NEW MODEL NOW WITH 60GB AND HDMI OUT
      SLEEK LOOK
    • Bad: ALOT MORE NOISE THAN PS3
      RED RING OF DEATH ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED IT BUT XBOX WILL GLADLY EXCHANGE WITHIN WARRANTY PERIOD

    I'VE HAD A PS3 IN THE PAST BOUGHT A WII WHICH I STILL HAVE BUT WENT BACK TO THE 360. THE ONLY THING THAT STOPPED ME FROM BUYING A PS3 WAS THE PRICE. I PICKED UP A 60GB VERSION WITH A HDMI PORT FOR ONLY $350. THATS ONLY $50 MORE THAN THE ARCADE VERSION! AND IT CAME WITH 2 FREE GAMES. tHE THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THE PS3 THOUGH IS THE BLUETOOTH AND BLUERAY PLAYER BUT MY LAPTOP HAS A BLUERAY PLAYER BURNER SO THAT ALSO PUSHED ME MORE TOWARDS THE 360 AS WELL AS THE PRICE...

    • Good: Better Looking games and more titles available then on the PS3
      HD Graphics
      Xbox Live is just pure FUN!
    • Bad: No BluRay player if you're interested in HD Movies....

    Easily the best gaming console out there atm. A lot more quality games then PS3 and Wii (if you're into serious gaming).

    • Good: Cheap for arcade model.
      Wide range of games.
      Good Graphics
      Great online service
    • Bad: To be compelely on par with the ps3, it requires expensive extras not included, making it in the end more expensive.
      Although a wide range of games are available, few are AAA exclusives, and there aren't many announced for the near future.

    Not at all great, but far from bad. Gone is the time when people can say this console is superior to the ps3, it just clearly isn't. Nothing about it "destroys" the ps3, however, it is a worthy competitor, with some decent (but highly over-rated games) GoW and Halo, i'm looking at you. I would choose the ps3, for it's all round superiority.

    The Bad - First generation games feature great graphics, but probably only a little better than what some high-end PCs can produce isnt that a good thing though? It has better graphics than high-end PC

  • ConnorDavies gave 9/10 on 16/07/2008 09:38

    • Good: - Graphics
      - Variety of GOOD games
      - VERY, VERY Entertaining
    • Bad: - Poorly made console - so many stories of consoles breaking down! Its like the 360 has a set (short) LIFE SPAN!

    By FAR the BEST gaming device/console ever made.

  • kadochump gave 9/10 on 14/07/2008 13:06

    • Good: DVD, Online play, Games Range (Ninja Gaiden 2, Halo3 GOW, COD4, GTA4, Saints row, HD capabilities
    • Bad: Not the best HD experience out there.
      Red ring of Death
      Controllers eat my batteries up.
      Power Brick

    i have all systems and i like the wii is my favourite. Wii is fun and entertaining with titles such as RE4 and SSBB, Ps3 is my HD experience and X360 is a real gaming machine :)

  • mahesh2772 gave 10/10 on 05/06/2008 13:29

    • Good: good game play, online gaming is awesome and price is way to low compared to PS3
    • Bad: nothing really, but looks might have to be improved and a good fan to cool the temprature

    Its awesome! great companion
