cdclair's Full Review: Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite (120 GB) Black Console
Well after waiting for a year i decided not to get a PS3,thats what i had planned to buy but after waiting and waiting i decided the Xbox 360 was the only console worth getting.Now don't get me wrong i think from a hardware point of veiw the PS3 is the best value because of the price drop and the extra features but the 360 has some of the greatest games ever made for a console and there is no way the PS3 will ever catch up now because there are going to be less and less console exclusives.So now on to the 360,as i mentioned it has a full line up of great games already with many more to come.After opening the box you will get alot of extras for your money with the elite,it comes with the black console,1 wireless controler,headset,composite/component cables,ethernet cable,AC and ect,ect.But it also comes with a HDMI cable which i think is great of microsoft to include that and of course the very large 120 GB hard drive.The games look great,picture is very smooth,i have yet to see any frame rate issues.The menus is very simple to use and navaigate and xbox live is also very easy to navigate and is one of the strong points of owning an xbox.The controller takes a little getting used to if your used to the PS2 like me but after using it for a while i hate to admit it but i think i like it better than sony's controller.I have not yet played on line but from what i have heard,nothing the other consoles have even comes close to Xbox Live.Now i have read complains about the console being noisy but to me it is not that bad and unless you play games or movies with the tv muted you will not even notice it so it is not even an issue in my opinion.Now it does run hotter than it should which has caused problems with systems failing and that is something you really have to consider before buying but you do get a 3 year warranty if the console fails do to heat.Now i myself have added an extra cooling for mine and it keeps the xbox very cool so i am not worried about a failure caused by overheating and i would recommend it for anyone buying a 360.Well i don't know what else to say except i love this console and recomend it to anyone who wants a console with games that are exciting and fun to play.And it will also play many of the hit games from the original xbox which is great because if you owned a PS2 like i did there are alot of great games that you may have missed like Halo 1 & halo 2 and many more and those titles are very cheap now so it just offers you alot of choices in games that the PS3 and the Wii just can not match.
