Great console for gaming September 2, 2008
First off, let me say that I own both a Xbox 360 Elite and an 80gb PS3. I enjoy both consoles and am no way bias towards either.
The Xbox 360 Elite is a console specifically for gaming. I would not consider it a true multimedia device because it lacks so many things that the PS3 has. For example a true "HD video format" (such as Blu-ray). It lacks wireless connectivity to the internet without a $100 dollar attachment. And, it is truly hindered by Microsoft's lack of want for any third party peripherals.
For gaming, you can't get any better than this machine. It still has the best exclusives and has many more games than the PS3 in general. However, the PS3 is closing the gap and is starting to have some spectacular exclusives as well. With that being said, I still enjoy games better on my Xbox for a few reasons...
Xbox live:
This is so much better than any online play system in any of the PS3's games. Yes, you do have to pay for Xbox live. But, buy for a year and it doesn't cost more than $40. Demos come out sooner on the Xbox, online matchmaking is simply better (more users, easier to find games, easier to play with friends, etc.)
Controller:
This controller just feels better in my hands. I don't have particularly large or small hands. I'm pretty average for a 19 year old male. But, the controller contours to my hands and just fits. The weight is also just right. It doesn't feel like a feather, nor does it feel like an overly heavy, obtrusive brick. The D-pad is not as good as the PS3's however, Microsoft just came out with a new controller which does fix this problem. So my recommendation is to get the new controller.
Achievements:
This is so small but something that the PS3 has yet to implement completely. Every game on the Xbox has what is referred to as "achievement points." What these are is little objectives in the various games that essential give you points. And, while they truly do nothing for you or add any special experience to the game, they do add re-playability to many games that I would have otherwise just let sit around.
With all of this being said, you really can't go wrong with either console. A few big things to pay attention to when deciding to choose one are:
-Exclusive game titles
-What you plan on doing with the console (gaming, watching movies [Blu-ray?], online gaming, etc)
-Cost

 Reviewing the XBox August 14, 2008

The XBox has proven to be everything I hoped it would be. I bought it for my 13-year-old grandson as a surprise. He absolutely loved it!!! I have never seen him love a gift so much. He played it and played it. He never wanted to go home. Now, he wants to take it home with him. I am contemplating letting him take the XBox home but then I won't have it here with me.
Can't go wrong... August 14, 2008

Even with all of the system failures since launch. The Xbox 360 is the best console for the money. The addition of HDMI and 120GB hard drive is just icing on the cake. I have had a couple older models brake on me, but that is just the risk you run as an early adopter of high end electronics. Customer service has been great and I have spent no money out of pocket on repairs. The Elite is a great purchase for any gamer that takes it seriously. Microsoft continues to have the best game selection and with Xbox Live they have the most complete online presence. For the record I own the other consoles as well.
Third time's the charm... August 10, 2008
The Xbox 360 Elite was the second unit I purchased and despite a service return to Microsoft, I did receive a new unit and had no problems at the time of this review. The 120 GB hard drive and 30 feet wireless control
use are plenty... the InterCooler unit was extra but I was encouraged to buy one. Every 360 game I purchased I was able to play and many of the original Xbox titles play well (Halo and Halo 2 are wonderful). I give 2 thumbs up for the `Elite.
