 The Problem July 21, 2008
All 360's are fab they are simply amazing consoles, for playing with your friends, playing solo and the best feature which is online.
this console is definately the best for its money....
of course IF, microsoft actually used decent parts.
half the comments about the 360 that ive heard have stated that its either rubbish, broke down a year or 6 months (and some even less!) after purchase - i bought the console in mid september 2007 and in march 08 th unplayable disc error occured and still persists with most my games- or that they've changed to the the ps3 after experiencing the problems with the 360.
so lets cover some the most common problems with the 360:
-Ring of death
-Unplayable disc error
-open disc tray/ no disc error
-freezing
oh dear
your probably thinking "why so?". Because microsoft uses parts from a junkyard.
the only reason my 360 wont play my games is because the hdd (hard disk drive) is too retarded to spin the disc.
i have to physicaly get the console and shake it in a way so that the disc inside spins, and let me tell you, it takes 1 and a half hours of effort until it finally works. by the way all my discs (apart from two second hand ones) have no scratches on them.
oh actually, wait, the hdd actualy scratched my spiderman 3 disc (2 weeks old when it scratched) and now the disc has 2 lines going around the disc making it look like a target...
great.
so theres your problem. if your ever thinking of complaining to microsoft tell them to get better quality parts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The XBOX 360 elite was my fourth 360. note the past tense "was". I bought a 360 a year and a bit ago, which broke down just around 3 months later with the RROD. it was replaced soon after by the retailer and the next one was the best one - it lasted about 6 months. died with a disc drive error. again, still within a year so was replaced by the retailer - the next one lasted around 4/5 monts before yet another RROD. Then, hoping for a fully functional 360, ordered an elite. 12 weeks. 12 weeks and it RROD'd. i could have got it replaced but, i was very, VERY tired with the whole charade and so ordered myself a PS3 console which - and dont say im being biased here because this is my honest opinion - is much quieter, much prettier (the games in general just look better), can play movies out of the box and has free online play unlike the XBOX - plus, Resistance: Fall of Man, Motorstorm, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Ratchet and Clank are as good if not better than any XBOX elclusives i played *cough*Halo 3*cough*. So my advice to you, reader is to ignore this piece of garbage and buy yourself a PS3.

Make It An Elite, Sir.... June 26, 2008

I am a pretty avid gamer and have been trying to decide for ages which console to buy. As a Nintendo fanboy, I was one of the few who was able to buy a Wii on launch day, and I wasn't too disappointed - but it wasn't really the games console that I wanted, it is more of a toy that is kinda cool when your friends come round. So about two months ago, I thought I would buy either the PS3 or the 360. My flatmate has had the Premium 360 (20gb etc.) for a while now and that pushed me in the direction of Microsoft, and the high price of the PS3 and the infuriating controller put me off. So - why should you buy the Elite?
It's arrived, and I've played it for a good while. It's remarkably quiet - all new 360s feature the Falcon 65nm motherboard reducing heat and therefore noise - and in black looks seriously cool. The 360 controller I think is fantastic, as it allows you to control all the buttons and, crucially, both analogue sticks with ease. The PS3 controller I find to be superb unless you use the analogue sticks, in which case you need to hold it slightly out of your hands. Sure, the 360 doesn't have Wi-Fi built in, but if you're planning on using it for gaming you are much better off buying a 20m CAT5e LAN cable and plugging it in to your router - the latency is superb and if you hook up your PC you can watch all your films, or plug in your iPod to the 360 and listen to your music...it's awesome. Go Elite.
Reliability issues! June 17, 2008

I have owned the premium console since its launch those many years ago, For me my 360 has performed flawlessly, been dropped on its side, had drink spilt on it. It has also had the 3 and 4 red lights, but still it plays on. I'll put this down to shear luck and not microsoft build quality! ;) My one pain about the console is the dam disk drive noise, it is like a plane taking off! other than that its the balls! xbox live also rocks, the PS3 online is slow and always craps out on me!
