Good: XBOX Live, The controller, Simple to use, Good graphics, Custom Soundtracks, Achievements, Good games, Cheap
Bad: No Wi Fi, Older ones prone to hardware failure, Cheaply built, Paying for XBOX Live, Overpriced accessories
Comment: Bought this 2 years ago so it was an HDMi 20GB model, only broke once (but I think I got a glitchy one because it was glitchy, fixed by XBL updates), MS were good about repair as it was fixed and back to me in two days. Over a year later still working great with no problems (apart from 1 thing that I think I caused). System is very easy to use and get into, XBOX Live is awesome with DLC, online play, voice chat, 1 vs 100 etc. Only problem with that is you have to pay for it. System can be loud but just install your games. Games and graphics look awesome and even better in HD. Feature wise it's very good, allowing custom soundtracks and the ever addicting Achievements system. The lack of Wi Fi is a shame but at least it has the ethernet cable. It's also cheap so you don't have to drill a hole in you wallet to get one. Buy one

Good: The Graphics
Bad: The Quality of the console
Comment: I seriously recomend a ps3 because ps3s dont mess up like xbox 360`s, the live quality for xbox live is terrible and costs about £40 to run it, and ps3 is free, so xbox is crap, FUCK YOU MICROSOFT!

Good: The game selection,XBOX live,headset and keyboard for XBOX live.
Bad: Too expensive,design of the console,can take too long to load.
Comment: I don't own a XBOX 360, but my brother has one and from what I've seen, it is one of the greatest consoles ever made. The ability to play high def games on a low def tv is amazing. Some of the games stand out from all the others, like Rock Band, PGR 4, Halo 3 and Forza 2 really stand out from all the games for the XBOX 360. As pretty much everybody knows, there are 4 types of 360, Arcade, Premium(pro), Core and Elite. Microsoft have made a staggering effort to see if they could improve the old XBOX, (which was by no means bad), and they really gave it a kick up the a$$ and said," We can give this a 20gb or 60gb hard-drive and we'll call it the XBOX 360." Those Americans really did a good job on one of the world's biggest games consoles. Now we move over to the bad side of town, the rundown part. Our tour of Blisstown is now over and now we're moving over to Dumpville. The 360 can be overpriced, and the design is a bit dodgy, sometimes it can freeze and sometimes it can take forever to load and sometimes, but ver,very rarely, it can sometimes chew up the disk. But back to the overall part. I give this console a very worthy 9/10, but it could still be better.

Good: Great selection of games, xbox live is great, achievements add to replay value, lay out is nice and controller is excellent
Bad: No wifi, no built in hd-dvd support and boring console shape
Comment: A great 2nd console by microsoft, although some minor things can be improved.

Good: Nothing, including the after sale service
Bad: Everything - buy a Wii. This is just a poor Microsoft product
Comment: My Xbox has problems scratching discs and slowing down when playing. Ring the after sales service and say scratching they just dont want to know, their after sales service is just crap, pardon my French.

Good: Very nice 'dashboard', easy to set up Xbox live, Xbox live market-place is astonishing, games are amazing, even first generation, lives up to all the hype
Bad: No wireless adaptor included, needs slightly bigger hard drive
Comment: Simply the best thing since sliced bread, amazing.
Edward Hick 6 December 2006
Good: The graphics, the games, Xbox Live games and marketplace, HD games, it being more than a console but rather a entertainment system, being able to connect to computer and use computer facilities on the Xbox
Bad: Paying for online
Comment: It you like playing video games you need an Xbox 360, I am proud to say I have lost many days of my life playing that console and it was worth it. I would suggest if you get the 360 to get the premium pack so you can use the Internet headset, it's really useful for onlne gaming with your friends.

Good: This is a great system with every thing you can ask for. The graphics are stunning in HD, or even if not HD they're still always good. Also some great games like Oblivion have made their home on the 360.
Bad: The system tends to freeze if you're playing a game with high detail and lots of action happening like Dead Rising.
Comment: This is overall a great system with a few kinks that can be worked out. But if you overlook them you will see what a great system this is.
