carl_lazarevic's Full Review: Microsoft Xbox 360 Core System White Console
We've reached a point now where the current contenders for chief consoles are soaring down in price, but still have a few years before their replacements arrive. Yet which one should you, the consumer, decide to get? That is up to you t decide, but in order to help you I've decided to review the current contenders in a way to show who would like what, because they each have their own advantages, depending on what you're looking for.
The X-Box is the console worlds muscle, strong, fast and impressive on a technical level. Not too bright though.
Space Saver?
If you happen to have a slab of concrete sitting around your living room then finding space for this wont be a problem. If you can't find that slab though, then this bad boy is huge!!! It's bigger than my VCR, and heavy too. Do not drop your X-Box, the force would be the same as a city sized Meteor, the world would never survive. Not the best space saver, as you would imagine, and storing it will require effort.1/5
Ease Of Use?
The original X-Box pad is absolutely huge, it's like playing videogames with a big mac, but thankfully Microsoft have re-released it in a smaller model. What can I say about this version? It's a Gamecube pad, but with a large D-Pad and easily accessible start/select buttons. Very very handy. 5/5
Power?
The X-Box is the Don Vito of the console world. It is the daddy, big powerful and knows how to throw a punch. Currently the most powerful console on the market, the X-Box is Bill Gates, the guy who does windows, attempt at a stripped down PC, and it comes with all of the power that concept promises. 5/5
Variety?
There's not that many X-Box games, but, like the Gamecube there's enough to last. Football games, Beat-em-Ups and Shoot-Em-Ups, even a few strategy games. That's a lot of variety, though there are only a select few childrens games. 4/5
Price?
$192.95 / £150 brand new, and used is around $135.00 / £76 which which makes it the most expensive console currently available. Still a massive drop in price though, but games are still $50 / £40 for the latest releases, and even older games are more expensive than other consoles. 3/5
Overall?
The X-Box is powerful, so who would I recommend it to? Men!!! We men are a shallow, superficial (I know, they mean the same thing) bunch, and we like our power. This is the console for us, stop trying to talk sense!!
