Pros: impressive graphics, wide selection of games, easy set-up, storage space, wireless controllers, Live game-play
Cons: none

When I decided to purchase my first Xbox 360, I decided to go all out, and knowing that I would probably end up wanting to have all the capabilities of playing the games live with other opponents, I went for the Xbox 360 Elite.  In most stores, they ...

Pros: The new black look is cool.
Cons: The added features are not really that impressive.

In 2007 here Microsoft and their Xbox 360 gaming console are in a really good spot in the gaming industry. Since the Xbox 360 got a huge head start over the competition (the Nintendo Wii and Sony Playstation 3 of course) it managed to ...

Pros: Black finish, HDMI support, 120 GB hard disk space, all necessary cables included
Cons: 65nm processor not included, old problems continue with Elite, cost may deter some

Pros: Enjoyable high quality gameplay
Cons: A bit noisy (the fans that is)

Please note this review is written from a UK residents perspective so the price range may seem alien to US or other country's asking price for the console. Yet another house move meant that I needed some careful rewarding, the choice of my reward was ...

Pros: Black, 120GB HDD, Multi-language features. Headphones are ideal for late-night gaming.
Cons: Loud fan, hot exhaust, bulky power-supply, few black accessories, no 2nd controller, no battery.

Purchased: Xbox 360 Elite, Turtle Beach X2 Wireless Headphones, Xbox 360 Rapid Charger with battery pack, 2nd Wireless Controller, and 2nd battery pack. When I opened the Xbox 360 Elite packaging, I was disappointed to see the plain packaging ...

Pros: Achievements, 360 Dashboard, game selection, streaming media features, XBox LIVE.
Cons: Failure rates, low quality bundled headset, marketplace points system.

I was very skeptical about the XBox 360. I was a Wii adopter on day 1. I bought a PS3 in the summer of 07. Finally, I broke down and got a 360 in February. I had held off because of the massive failure rate Microsoft was having with the consoles, but I ...

Pros: HDMI, black finish, 120gb hard drive, great games, 1080p
Cons: Price, no built-in HD DVD, no wireless.

I'd started with the original xbox 360 premium that I'd gotten a hold of via a very interesting story that I won't get into, but a couple weeks later, the elite was released, so I claimed to have the "Red Ring Of Death" that even to this die I think may ...

Pros: Improved button layout for console games.
Cons: Not as comfortable as the original.

The new Cordless Rumblepad 2 is a smaller, lighter edition of the original Cordless Rumblepad, requiring only 2 AA batteries instead of 4. The new button layout is ...

Pros: Fun, entertaining.
Cons: Breaks down a little too often due to lack of heat sink.

I purchased my first Xbox 360 a few years ago and I currently have two. If you are looking to entertain yourself this is one of the best video game consoles on the market. Microsoft created a great device with this console. It plays video games in ...

Pros: -All Black -Great Games -Backwards Compatible -Excellent Graphics
Cons: -Loud CD/DVD Drive -Runs Hot -Power supply is kind of cumbersome

Its been a few months since my previous Xbox 360 died on me. I had had it since the release but finally got the infamous "ring of death" Instead of purchasing a new one of the same model (360 Premium), I decided to wait for the Elite since its release ...

Pros: Looks like it finally might be the all in one living room solution.
Cons: can't play many video formats from files unless media center streaming.yawn.

I have had a USA Elite since its release in April, and now, since last Friday, a European one. I was just too curious to wait. The USA model is as hot and loud as all the others from the past three years. In fact the power supply actually melted after ...

Pros: New look, slightly increased specs, larger hard drive
Cons: price

I had bought an XBOX 360 approximately one year after they were exposed to the market. I have had plenty of time to toy and play with this console to gain a consensus on its flaws and general aspects which set it apart from the other consoles.As far ...

Pros: HDMI port,120GB HD,cool black colour and a huge selection of hit games.
Cons: No built in wireless and some heating issues.

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 ...

Pros: This package has everything you need for great high definition gaming for an incredible price.
Cons: You must have an hdmi port on your tv.

Graphics: This console has astonishing graphics! If you have not seen Gears of War in HD then you are missing out! Cost Benefit: You can't go wrong with this unit. It has a much bigger hard drive than the PS3 and the online gaming experience on Xbox ...

Pros: Big Harddrive Fast Gaming
Cons: Loud fans

Originaly started with the Xbox 360 Premium gaming console, which had the built in 20Gb hard drive. My initial thoughts weren't too high for this system, because I was supposed to have a 20Gb Hd, and the usable space was only 13gb. Another thing I ...

Pros: GOOD QUALITY, TONS OF GAMES, BLACK FINISH, HD OR TV OUTLET
Cons: EXPENSIVE, THE COLOR OF SYSTEM COST MORE THAN PLAN WHITE, CAN SCATCH DISC

During the year 2007 Microsoft made a gaming consle that is called Xbox 360.The XBOX 360 is so much better than the first XBOX that came out. The feature on the system are so amazing. You can download movies and TV shows. You can play on XBOX Live which ...

Pros: -Best Game Selection out of any new-gen system -120Gig Hardrive and HDMI output/cable included!
Cons: - Still runs hot and noisy - Still no internal HD-DVD drive?!?!?!?

I recently bought an Xbox 360 Elite and it has lived up to my expectations. This console is only $79 more than the premium package and it includes 100gig more hardrive space, an HDMI output/cable that is capable of running 1080p and up converting your ...

Pros: Huge hard drive, black color, game library, lots of demos
Cons: Louder than comparable systems, the worry of overheating, price of some arcade games

If you are considering buying an Xbox 360, I highly recommend getting your hands on an Elite! I've heard a lot of people say that a 20gb hard drive (available on non-Elite and non-Core systems) to be plenty big. This is only true if you have no intention ...

Pros: cheaper than ps3 online is great
Cons: no blu ray dvd player

I have owned a xbox 360 for a while now and i also own a ps3. If i had to choose one over the other i would take the xbox 360. There are just so many more things that make the xbox 360 better. Dont get me wrong the ps3 is awesome too but the xbox 360 is ...

Pros: Awesome game lineup (especially xbox exclusives)
Xbox Live!!!!
Plays movies
Plays music
Uses USB connections
Many accessories
120GB HDD
HDMI
Black finish
Cons: Hard ware failure and errors
Hard to move music from a computer to console

The Xbox 360 Elite is by far the best game console I have ever played.  I have played every big console including; Xbox, Xbox 360 (all of them), Playstation 1 2 and 3, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo Gamecube, Nintendo 64, and N E S.  I love the game ...

Pros: Quality system, controller and headset and hdmi cable come standard- sharp looking!
Cons: The kit to transfer hard drive contents has to be ordered, long wait.

My son's 2007 model Xbox 360 red ringed for the last time a few days before Easter. Given thehours of play that he got out of it, I was not against purchasing a newer, better model of the system. We ordered from Amazon and of course, RAVE reviews for ...

Pros: HDMI, Black color matches premium a/v components, quieter than previous 360
Cons: Price.

My last 360 died after 6 months, so I traded up to the elite. I had been disappointed in the white color choice so Black really hit the spot. I also previously had some issues with using VGA on my DLP tv that I never worked the kinks out of. On my Elite, the HDMI works perfectly and setup automatically configured to my TV's resolution. The elite is noticeably quieter than my last 360 as well.

The first elite had a broken faceplate, and the second had a funky power button (had to press very hard). Maybe these faceplates are getting sourced from somewhere that doesn't have their act together. I put on an aftermarket faceplate and the power button now works great.

I hope Microsoft comes out with a crystal green halo edition console..... I would trade in a second for that.

Pros: nice case, black is always cool, good CPU. Makes a good heater.
Cons: poor GPU, overheats,no highdef drive, locks up.overpriced, poor customer service

I bought the X360 elite to replace my failing premium console, and guess what. Same issues. Overheats faster than a Ford, games lock up more than not. I believe I pretty much just paid 430 bucks for a machine that simply has a HDMI(which doesn't activate my 1080i interface on my TV). I am really disappointed, and this time I am not giving Microsoft another chance. This is IT! The only good thing about this product is the new case. The processor is fast, but the GPU is crap. Slow rendering, worse than my notebook(literally my notebook can run Oblivion better). The colors are not very sharp. Nor the contrast.
Simply put invest the money something else this is not worth it at all. do the math. 430 elite+200 bucks hddvd drive=630 bucks
600 Ps3 top model includes BD drive sharper graphics, full BW compatibility, and true High-Def.

Pros: with the outstanding features.
Cons: expensive

I have the Elite for like 3 months. For me, it is worth my money with HDMI, 120GB and new color that out standing. I love the color. It looks so classic.

with 120GB I have more space to save my games. You can also have more space to download demo(games, movies), video file, and games.

with HDMI you can hook up with your 1080p television with a very clean beautiful picture.

I also like the system because it is more quiet than the core and pro system that I bought in March and got 3-red ring.

Since I bought this one and use it for awhile. I never got any problem like red ring or anything.

I use my console to watch movie also. So, I open the console sometimes overnight. It never cost any problem.

Pros: HDMI output made it easy to connect. Great, while it lasted.
Cons: Console developed the "Red Ring of Death" 5 months after purchase.

I purchased the 360 Elite after waiting for the game system to have HDMI output. I bought it in October of 2007 and my family used it daily until today.
I mere 5 months from the date of purchase, the machine developed the "red ring of death" problem that is so typical of these machines. Three red lights have appeared on the display indicating "hardware fault".

The box is now "dead" for all intents and purposes. In a nut shell, it cost me 100 dollars a month for this machine.

Do I go and buy another one? I seriously doubt it.

Pros: NO pros...defective equipment
Cons: Will not provide a reliable gaming expierence

I purchased the xbox 360 brand new in October 2007, now in February 2008 it is broken, the disk reader will not work and will not play any games. I spent almost $600.00 for the system, an extra controller and a game. It doesn't work after 4 months of mild use! What a piece of junk. Save yourself the time & aggravation... purchase something else.

Pros: Wireless, pricing, battery life, feel & look of joystick.
Cons: None so far.

I've had two of these now for at least half a year. So far I never replaced the batteries. The ease of setting up the PC to use two Rumblepads was pretty easy too. Both sensors sit about 15 feet away from the couch and the flashing lights on them letting you know it receiving a signal when you pick it up and start using it is clearly visible.

I've used these for many different 'old school' game emulators and the number of buttons was always more than enough to duplicate the feel of any console system joystick.

Pros: minimal delay. great touch feel...nice grip
Cons: none.its a great product.

i dont have a game console, so i am pretty much a pc gamer. i have broken about 3 keyboards just playing nfl and fifa and other adventure games. So, finally i went out on research for a good gamepad for pc and found this product at circuit city. It comes in both wired and wireless versions. I decided to try the wireless so i can plug my computer to the tv and see if the this product does its job.
From the first minute i simply loved it. The rumblepad has a great vibration effect, there is no delay and controls are very smooth and effective. i have owned this product for about 4 months now... have replaced the batteries (2 AA batteries) once and have been very very pleased with this product. Highly highly recommended for pc gamers.

Pros: fast,no lags,just like a Playstation controller
Cons: You haved to hit the vibration button to vibrate

Worked fine from the beginning, no problems with xp as far as I know.I wanted it so I could sit on my bed and it works fine.

Pros: wireless
Cons: none

Very high quality with good button arrangement makes this a must buy for your computer or laptop.I play tony hawk on my computer and it works like a charm.

Pros: It works 100% Legit
Cons: Takes time.
