- XBOX 360 ELITE..NOT ELITE!
I purchased the Elite version of the xbox when it came out around last September. A year later the machine showed the dreaded red ring of death for no apparent reason. Now I am an occasional gamer, and my low achievement points will testify to this. Having bought the machine I would say that the hdmi on my samsung 32 is brilliant, clear and sharp picking up alot of detail against the older machine. Play Tiger Woods 09 and you will see what I mean. Even games like Rainbow Six 2 were smooth and flawless.
However, my concern is that the machines are simply neither durable nor safe in my opinion. I can not understand how Microsoft are getting away with the sheer number of returns and repairs they are doing, and the growing number of irrated cutomers/gamers. How can this be sustainable?
The noise issue is still there, the machine seams to heat up quickly, and games like Ghost recon 2 end up freezing on it for no reason.
So, my verdict is to wait for the new machines, if indeed they are new, or steer towards the playstation 3. In terms of the latter though bear in mind the controls on games like Metal Gear Solid are numerous and confusing, having gotten use to the larger xbox pad and layout. Of course other benefits include the blue ray disc, and free online gaming.
Good luck and happy gaming!

- Not one problem!!
As the title would suggest my review is here to give hope to all those put off potential Xbox 360 owners. I have had my elite for well over a year now and not one problem has occurred. Never crashed, never frozen, no RROD, just played games as I would have expected. I don't know anyone who has had any problems. The very fact that Xbox are taking the faulty consoles back and replacing them should give peace of mind. I have heard that the elite are a much more reliable console than the previous models and so I think this one is a safe bet.
Don't be worried by all the horror stories of breaking consoles. The Xbox has such a better range of games and extras. The only bad thing is that it is a little noisy, but hey what does that matter. Great console!
Rating: - A little better
this model's attempt at keeping the drowning Xbox 360's alive isn't quite as bad as the others. It almost has it's problems under control - adding greatly too the price tag.Basically, it costs as much as a PS3, if not more,and still is no where near a PS3's hardware. Still, not bad - it's only taken microsoft 2 years to plug the keaks in the original/s.
A few points; I own (and like) an original xbox, I do not own a ps3 anmd am no sony "fanboy". I expect people will comment on my opinion quite harshly. Please double check any accusations because I really don't have time to correct Xbox "fanboys" all day.

- Great gaming console
I have owned an Elite since February 2008 and so far I have had no problems with it whatsoever. It is certainly nosier than the other consoles on the market, but for ease of use, unparalleled online gameplay and a large gaming library I seem to spend more time on the Elite than my other consoles.
From my experience, the multi-format titles seem a little more polished on the Elite, but this is largely due to the fact that games have been developed for the 360 and then ported to other formats. I fully expect this to change as this generation progresses. In terms of exclusives, a whole host of RPGs are due for release to keep you occupied through the winter months, plus you have the likes of Gears of War 2, Fable 2, Forza 2 (already available), Halo 3 (already available) and Mass Effect (also available on PC).
In terms of build quality (and the reason for losing a star), of the 3 consoles in this generation, the Elite ranks 3rd. Unfortunately, it just feels less well made compared with the Wii and the PS3. Undoubtedly, there are still issues with faulty consoles, but the repair service is quick and each 360 now has a 3 year warranty. I have not had any problems with the console myself, but a friend of mine recently had to send his console for repair after 2 years of continuous play. It was picked up, repaired and returned within the space of 5 days with a new 3 year warranty.
Overall, I would gladly recommend this console simply for the games and the vibrant online community. You cannot browse the internet on this machine, but as a dedicated gaming console, you will not be disappointed. The only additional accessory that I would recommend is the battery recharge pack as you will quickly tire of buying new batteries for the wireless controller.
