Description
By now you've already heard how Xbox 360 puts you at the center of the most powerful games on the planet, hence the "360," as in 360 degrees (geometry students will recognize that as the number of degrees in a circle). To accomplish this feat, Microsoft has brought together a full circle of powerful factors.

So close to perfect... I've had the Xbox 360 for about 10 months now. Last month it gave up on me & I had to get it replaced, for which I had to incurr a one way shipping cost but the replacement process was a breeze & the replacement Xbox 360 was with me in no time. I had the original Xbox for a very long time, now passed it on to my brother who doesn't require *next-gen* gaming for his day to...
Strengths: Large game library available, good controller feel, nice interface, great online community.
Weakness: Huge power brick, loud, overheats easily.
Even though I'm a fairly hardcore gamer, I'd say this console has definitely not won many points with me since I've owned it (or, maybe, it's pwned me?!?!). I love the huge library of games, the integration with games with the well-thought-out online community (Xbox Live!), and the feel of the controllers. I hate the heating issues with this thing, though. I'm currently on my 2nd XB360 (I sent...
Strengths: awesome graphics (esp. on a hdtv, but still great on a sdtv), great games, friendly controller, 5.1 sound if you have a home theater, the list goes on and on
Weakness: big power supply, the plastic casing is a little more fragile than I'd like, some of the better xbox games aren't compatable, you need a hdtv to really get the point
I've had my 360 since December, and in that time, I haven't once regretted buying it. I won't be one of the people that lies and says that there are no problems, but those problems are few, and the system more than makes up for them. The 360 was my jump from Sony to Microsoft, and I still haven't decided if I'm looking back. With a set price of $599 for the premium system, I'm not sure if the PS3...
Strengths: the graphics are unbeliveable real. The gamplay is gripping and you cant stop playing. The xbox 360 is like a drug that you cant stop playing.I would definatly recomened this outstanding prouduct.
Weakness: the wireless controlers are not as good as they were cracked up to be(they need batteries which run out)is usless . The biggest issue is the price! I brought my one for 210 pounds . Alot of money.
fantasticly amazing,fast,loud and higly enjoyable. Twise as good as the ps3 will ever be. Definatly worth my money. Never will there be a better concel (unless the next xbox).
Strengths: great graphics, good design, awesome games
Weakness: price
this thing is very good. Everyone is afraid of how microsoft's 1.0 versions always have bugs, well i have had mine since the second day it cme out and i have noticed nothing of the sort. The controllers are great. The package with the hard drive and the wireless controllers is a better way to go. All in all this is a great product which completely destroys what the PS3 has to offer. PS3's liquid...
Strengths: great graphics for a great price
Weakness: it's a console, playstation 3 will be better, for a computer person, the console's "next gen" is nothing revolutionary
The xbox 360 was my first console, and from reading a lot about it, I think the system completely met my expectations. I certainly wouldn't be saying this if I bought it earlier than Ghost Recon and Oblivion, but the wait was worth it. I have heard that the graphics compare with the radeon x1800 and that's probably pretty accurate, as people have gotten pc versions of these games to run on...
Strengths: Mind Blowing HDGraphics, Digital 5.1 Surround, Unparalleled Wireless Performance, Seamless Integration with Windows XP, Excellent Multimedia Capabilities(Pictures, Music & Video)
Weakness: Extremely Hard to Find, Fan a little on the noisy side.
Besides having the best Mind Blowing HD-ready Graphics, Digital 5.1 Surround & Unparalleled Wireless Performance; This 360 Premium System, with the 20GB Hard Drive & Ethernet Cabability, allows seamless integration with Windows XP. Thus allowing the capability to store Pictures, Music & Video. That's right store pictures straight from your digital camera or memory card, file all your favorite...
Strengths: Graphics, speed, interface, flexibility, sleek design. Microsoft's willingness to work with the end users to assure continued enjoyment.
Weakness: Number of games and price of the new games
The product met and exceeded my expectations. The graphics and the attention to detail is outstanding. The interface has been streamlined, setting up and making changes is a breeze. The speed of loading games and response time has vastly improved, the players using internet gaming will love the response time. Overall excellent product, the price will come down when competetors have their products...
Strengths: 720p, xbox live
Weakness: can lock up (get intercooler fan!)
Overall a very good product, and at the price point PS3 is coming into the market this was a no-brainer especially since I really only play sports + GTA games.
THE GOOD: Superior selection of games, including several console-exclusive titles; all games in high-definition; easy-to-use Dashboard interface; excellent online gaming and communications via Xbox Live; plays hundreds of (but not all) original Xbox titles; doubles as a superior digital media hub and Windows Media Center extender; online Marketplace allows for easy purchases of downloadable...

The successor to Microsofts first video game console, the Xbox. The Xbox 360 expands upon the originals strong PC roots while being positioned as the complete center of media integration with many built in functions and a high level of Internet connectivity. The 360 is the first next-gen console in what Microsoft touts as the HD-Era, the seventh generation of consoles, which includes the...

In many ways, the Xbox 360 is the ultimate media streaming device. (And it plays a few games, too) The console can handle streamed video, audio, and photos from any PC and lets you download movies and TV shows directly using Xbox Live.

Just three years after launching the Xbox, Microsoft has come out with a new console. It has a lot going for it: snazzy design, staggering power, high definition, multimedia, and good games available at launch time. If you have a high definition display and a home theater system, the Xbox 360 will literally plunge you right into the middle of the game.

One of the best console launches and suprisingly...
Strengths: Great graphics processing power, Live intergration with downloadable content/marketplace/online play, Great media center functions, Progressing Backwards Compatability List, Solid Launch Lineup
Weakness: Fans will be a bit louder than other consoles, Expensive ($100 than other console launches), Faceplates hard to get off, Will only load 100 songs list for MP3 Players, Video Streaming requires MCE.
Let me start off by saying I don't believe anyone should get the core system. The core system was introduced in order to funnel off some heat for the $100 price increase for the console in the current generation. By releasing the core system users who bought the real system could feel a sense of value and feel the console's price point was really $299. While I think this tactic is far less shady...
