Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: 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. Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Microsoft... you offend me!How do they dare sell this?! I spent a ludicrous amount of money on this piece of junk! Microsoft claim that this is value for money! NO! simply no! Quite why a core pack comes with a wired controller is beyond me! especially when the wire twists and tears after no time! They couldn't even throw in a memory card! I had to fork out an extra 20quid for 64mb of memory! 64!! That is ridiculously small! If all of this isn't bad enough after the warranty had run out it started to show me the red 'light of death', I contacted Microsoft who said they'd collect it... well they didn't! I waited in vain for a couple of months during which time another problem arose.. Scratched discs.. Now this would be bad enough if it were only the one game... Oh no... ... Read More: Rating: - Basic, cheap, but functional!The core system is exactly what it is, a core system, enough to get you going, you have to bear in mind that the hardware is very expensive stuff, and they have to fight against sony and the ever plucky nintendo, if you just want to play games, it will do! Admittedly, they could throw in a memory card, the 64mb one are not much good if you intend to play forza 2, 256mb should cover you nicely Rating:  - Sadly...best avoidedwhen the xbox 360 works it is awesome, the choice of games is excellent, however.....a word of warning regarding that they run hot and eventually die. I was very happy with my launch console, until it got the 3 red rings. The customer support and repair service is shockingly bad. I sent mine for repair, got it back and it worked for one day. Now having to wait at least another 3 weeks for it to be fixed. Rating: - Very basic starter packLet me start by saying how amazing the games and the graphics look on this console. On my HD tv the picture is amazing...now why I give 2 stars. Microsoft don't want you to have much fun with the core system. The only reason I bought the basic package was because I'm not a big gamer but I did want to see what all the fuss was about. When you open the box it all seems very impressive. I connected my Xbox to the TV and put in a game. First I was told I cannot save any games as I need to purchase a memory card or hard drive. This is really bad, Microsoft make a console with all the latest wizzardry but can't even stick in some basic memory. Next I wanted to connect to my HDTV but again no lead, so I have to ... Read More: Rating:  - fun and disappointmentWell the xbox 360 core and premium are awesome machines and for a time they do work well.But when you have 3 flashing lights - hardware failure it is disappointing.Microsoft do have a warranty for these items but twenty days to wait for repair is a long time.The x box is great when it works but very temperamental and prone to problems.But on saying all that my goal is to buy the elite x box 360. |
