If only the hadn't rushed it. [Posted on 2008-09-19]
I bought my xbox 360 on launch day. It ran fine with no problems for about 14 months and then I fell victim to the dreaded red ring of death (RROD). But, I called Microsoft's support and had a replacement unit in about two weeks. The Xbox 360 is definitely the most fun for me of all the next gen consoles and it has a massive library of quality titles.

The newer 360's have improved greatly as far as the RROD issues go. Is the RROD eliminated completely? I doubt it, but it's close. Additionally Microsoft has a 3 year warranty in place to cover you should you have any problems of that nature.

The 360 has great games like Gears of war, Halo 3, Call of duty 4, Bioshock and many others. And the Xbox live (XBL) community is by far the best online service of the 3 next gen consoles and is well worth the 50 dollars per year or 13 cents per day depending on how you want to look at it. XBL is rich with content from movie, music video, television show, and game downloads to online chat with and without video (If you have the vision cam accessory) It also has a built in MSN interface for chatting with friends on PC, and Pocket PCs, and connects directly to any Microsoft Mediacenter PC you may have in you house for playing movies, looking at photos, or listening to music.

The 360 display/graphics are very high quality and supports 480p - 1080p on most if not all titles. The controllers have a very nice ergonomic design and fits well in my hands and are never awkward.

I would definitely recommend the xbox 360 for anyone looking to buy one.

It's difficult for me to make a recommendation for either the 360 or the PS3 over one another as they are both great consoles. I would give the PS3 the advantage based on past reliability and blu-ray video capability.
But, I give the 360 the advantage in games library, shear fun and online service.

If I would make a recommendation, I would say get one of them (Either one) and then follow up very soon by buying the other. Because there are great games out there for both consoles and other games coming out that are only available on one or the other. Get them both.

this system is tits [Posted on 2008-09-21]
this is the greatest video game system that i hardly play video games on it plays so many different media types i can make a dvd data,usb drive best money i ever spent oh and it plays video games which is a plus a guess

Great games, but system ??? [Posted on 2008-09-22]
I bought this product for Christams last year (my kids had xbox before and we loved it so we decided to upgrade) and I never knew that they have the overheating problem, after my oldest son played overnight it never turned on again (I had it for 9 months, previous model we had for over 4 years and it never had any problems)
my kids love games that work with xbox but we decidet to change it to wii,

Never arrived [Posted on 2008-09-23]
I find it very interesting that Amazon has asked me to review an item that I have not received. I ordered it from a seller named Royalty Entertainment on the 22 of August. It is the 23 of September and it has not arrived. Had to file a claim against seller, but I have been told I will not receive a refund until October 3rd.

This was my last purchase ever from a seller or Amazon. They both have been very unprofessional with me.

Realized Potential [Posted on 2008-10-02]
This is by far the best console of this generation. It has more features and games than both ps3 and wii combined. From the amazing marketplace where you can buy original xbox games, movies, music videos, games, demos and more.

Of all three systems it has the most established and polished online community. There is enough free content in the market place to easily keep you busy for hours a day. And the user interface is smoother than a newborns rump.

the best console of the generation, you can also stream media from your computer via windows live media player without having to have it connected directly to your pc. so i never have to buy movies, just download and watch from my room.
