Summary: BUY AN XBOX 360!!!!!!!!!
Comment: Now I am probably one of thee worlds biggest critics for the Xbox 360 during its release phase. I
must have told hundreds of people "dont get one of them wait for the PS3 its gonna be awesome", and
cannot count the amount of arguements I have had with people over this console war.
But.....my
god I have been turned to the dark side. This console has to be the best gaming experience I have
ever had. My early life was Nintendo (Super Mario at the age of 2 has to be the highlight) but then
came along the Playstation with its flip up lid and CD's (this was amazement to me considering the
catridges I was so used to).
Games that brought to attention different aspects of playability
and excitement, like GTA, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil (and for us sports fans FIFA 98 Road to The
World Cup - which was and has been the far best FIFA title up until this years FIFA 09 - nothing
like scoring from the half way line :D) and I hate to say it but Croc and Crash Bandicoot.
/>Then came the 2nd installment of the Playstation, the change in graphics was amazing, they were so
much more realistic (Metal Gear Solid for one) and I absoluteley adored it, i spent most of my teens
behind a tv playing on my PS2 and when the news came about of the PS3 I was even more excited. In my
mind I had a dream about how it would be, look but most of all how it would play. And to be
perfectly honest I've never been so let down in all my life (It must have been when they released
those screen shots of the infamous boomerang control pad :S).
My first play on a Xbox came
just under a year ago. My cousin decided he wanted to have one for xmas. We spent weeks looking for
a good deal, and for £250 with two controllers and games compared to the £350 of a PS3 it was a
bargain (now you lucky buggers are getting it for £145).
Ive never been so excited about
playing games such as Gears Of War, Halo 3 and the amazing Call Of Duty 4, it is one memorable
experience. Yes its loud, yes it overheats but it sure makes up for it it graphics and playability
(and damn right awesomeness).
I've seen quite alot of comments about Xbox Live been a scam,
well trust me coming from someone whos played COD 4 on the Xbox and PS3 its well worth the money.
COD 4 online (and offline) is amazing, the graphics, the detail, the gameplay is all astounding and
it never gets boring taking out your frustration on someone by shooting them in the head or blowing
them up with a grenade. With the PS3 though its a different story, yes theres gameplay, and it maybe
free but the graphics and detail show just why it is, it is nothing in comparison with the Xbox. The
colour and detail have to be the worst ive seen, the only way i can describe is like my 5 yr old
brother trying to colour in a picture in a coluring book within the lines and failing miserably.
There is no sharpness, no thought, no attention to detail (and its not just online where it fails),
I was seriously put off by the graphics that at times I felt physically sick because of the
contrast. It is safe to say that it wasnt enjoyable and played other games such as Beijing 2008,
Burnout Paradise etc and was unimpressed. The only upside is that it has a blue ray player and that
is seriously pushing it.
To round this very long story up, it is safe to say that yes the Xbox
has its flaws, and so does the PS3, but for 1.price 2.amazing graphics 3.looks (very spaceage)
4.Xbox Live (which you have to have with this) 5.Games (G.O.W, Halo, COD, FarCry, Fable and all the
new releases of some of the previous games ive said) makes this one of the most memorable gaming
experiences and I would at least urge you to jump on the bandwagon, as you will seriously not be
disappointed

Summary: Wait and hope for the Jasper chipset. Same errors still exist.
Comment: Just a quick note to let everyone know that Falcon chipsets still havent fixed the RROD error, nor
the disc scratching DVD drives. The reason for the price drops is the cost of components dropped and
a new updated version of the 360 is being built and should be released some time after Christmas (I
hope). My Falcon 360 has now been sent back for repairs for the 2nd time, and has scratched the
living hell out of my Oblivion GOTY Edition along with causing another RROD error. The console is
also still as noisy as before. If it breaks one more time I'll have to get my Xbox 1 out of the dust
once again and claim insurance for the 360.
Microsoft better pull out a miracle while
they still have the huge amount of consumers. Im close to losing all hope in the 360 and wait for
the 720, but the Jasper chipset is my last bit of hope in the 360. Don't buy a 360 in the meantime
no matter how badly seduced you are at giving Gears of War another go, or waiting for the Fable 2
release, unless you want more errors and waste another £100 in about 6 months.
Customer Rating: Summary: Gaming has never been better
Comment: First off, this consoles star rating has been destroyed by stupid fanboys who rate it low, just
because they have a ps3, so ignore them.
People say this console is unreliable, but if you
take good care of it, it will last you for years.
The exlusive games are truley
amazing, and the online community is massive.
xbox live, although costing, is far superior to
any other consoles online service to date, and it is only £5 extra a month on you internet bill, or
just £30 a year.
I could not have made a better choice of games console, and if you've
got the extra cash, you may just want to dish out on an elite, for the extra space etc.
