Editorial Reviews
The Xbox 360 is Microsoft's successor to the Xbox console, and is the first "next generation" games console to hit the market. It has three powerful core processors which pump out 720p/1080i output (translation: graphics look great), 16x9 cinematic aspect ratio (translation: it's sort of like the cinema), anti-aliasing for smooth textures (translation: characters look less like chimps and more like people), full surround sound and DVD playback right out of the box.

A multi media experience

In comparison to the Darth Vader inspired design of the original Xbox, the Xbox 360 a thing of (near) wondrous beauty.

In addition to playing games and movies, the Xbox 360 can stream music and video from a wide variety of electronic devices, including iPods and the Sony PSP.

Get Live

The Xbox 360 offers an online gaming experience via Xbox Live. This allows you to play multi-player Xbox 360 games on the internet via your broadband connection. The service also lets you download--and save on the console's hard drive--new missions, characters and vehicles for your favourite games. You can also shout real-time abuse at your opponents using the Xbox 360 headset

Choose the package that's right for you

The Xbox 360 comes in two different packages: the deluxe package includes a wireless controller, 20GB hard drive, and a number of other accessories. Alternatively, the Core System bundle has a standard wired controller and no hard drive.

Which option is right for you will depend largely on your gaming needs--are you a fan of downloadable content? Do controller wires upset the feng shui of your living room? There are pros and cons for each option: for instance, if you do plump for the Core System you will have to buy a separate memory unit if you want to save your games. Likewise, if you opt for the deluxe version you will need a steady supply of AA batteries or a rechargeable battery pack to power the wireless controller.

The Xbox 360 is only backwards compatible with a limited number of original Xbox titles, and a hard drive is required for this function.

DOes it ever work?

I will say, when the Xbox works, it is excellent.

However, in the three years of ownership, My 4th console now has the three red rings. Therefore it will have to be sent off and I will have to be sent a Fifth console. On average, during my ownership, the consoles fail every 7-8 months.

On the whole, a great console when it works, but I cannot reccomend as they are too unreliable.

Get your act together Microsoft.

great but rrod

First off i have to say the xbox 360 is great! however there is one problem and it runs through all of these reviews after a while you will probably get the rrod (red rings of death) after this you need to send it away to get fixed mine lasted about 1 and half years.
However this wouldn't put me off as it exellent. i would rate it 10 star if you could but the only problem is its frequency to break down.

what can i say ! the xbox 360 console's the best thing since sliced bread or it could be a great stop smoking tool ? well you can't hold a cigarette and play at the same time can you, i mean who would want to be at a very important part of a game and get smoke in there eye's then they start too water. think of this the next time you try too play fallout 3 and smoke at the same time.

Why are you wasting your money on xbox live? No console has the best online AS IT ALL RELYS ON YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION. Money for xbox live just goes to improve RROD. This is the trueth. If you are clever, get a PS3, free internet and blu-ray.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT

My 360 has gotten the RROD, i reccomend NEVER buying a 360.

Fun Box!!

The xbox 360 is an incredible gameing system, with flawless graphics and the largest online community ever... EVER!! The new dashboard is great with loads to keep you occupied and playing. Here are it's features:---

Features
(1)-Staggeringly good graphics on any t.v
(2)-An amazing online community which is highly addictive and fun
(3)-Loads of downloadble content such as;movies, game trailers, game demos, arcade games, full classic xbox games, gamer pics and themes to customize your dashboard and game content to extend thenlife of all your games.
(4)-You can watch movies and put your music on so you can play gears of war while listening to your faveourite album.
(5)-MSN messenger can be acessed quickly and easily anytime.
(6)-You can even sync your xbox to your of and watch movies on your of, on your xbox and browse pictures and music.

However there are a couple of down sides to this product;---

Downsides
(1)-Its quiet noisey but you soon become unaware of it once you start playing.
(2)-Red Ring of Death can kill your xbox if your unlucky but it's all down to chance, mine lasted for four years and since I bought an extended warranty for very little I got a quick replacement for game that very same day!
(3)-no blu-ray
(4)-xbox live costs (not to much mind you) and I would pay more if it cost it.

On the whole if you are wondering which to buy out of the ps3 and xbox 360 I would definetly go for the 360, by a mile. But if you buy the ps3 you will not be dissapointed.
