 Great if it weren't junk February 9, 2008

The 360 could have been a great system. Unfortunately it is a piece of junk. I have had to send mine in for repair and out of 10 people I know who have 360s only 1 has not died yet.
A piece of junk.

Estoy facinado con la xbox. reinventa el concepto de consola de entretenimiento. no solo sirve para jugar, si no para hacer downloads muy entretenidos (series, peliculas, etc). lastima que no se puede bajar en Latinoamerica. el menu es facil e interactivo y los juegos son de tercera generacion. superior a PS3. recomendado.
 Great system but with some flaws February 3, 2008

Pros:
- Huge library of quality games.
- Powerful machine that results in graphics comparable to the Playstation 3.
- Wireless Controller (All current consoles have this feature).
- Xbox live is currently the best online gaming system and community.
- Downloadable content for games and videos (HD Movies and TV Shows).
- It comes with a hard drive to store your downloads. This model has 20GB (120GB version is available).
- 3yr warranty.
Cons:
- There is a design flaw in the console that causes it to generate alot of heat and it has broken so many consoles that Microsoft ultimately changed the warranty from 90days to 3yrs. While the newer consoles have smaller chips that lead to less heat, there are still reports of the dreadful RROD (Red rings of death). Basically if your console bricks, you just need to go through the painful process of sending it to Microsoft and get it fixed.
- It has a built-in DVD drive which is old technology. Blu-ray and HD-DVD are next-gen disc technology. Using DVDs (4.7GB) sets a limitation to game developers on how much they can fit on a disc. Playstation 3 comes with a built-in Blu-ray drive which allows you to play movies in 1080p. Xbox360 does allow you to have a HD-DVD drive as an addon that can only play movies. HD-DVD is also 1080p but the majority of movie companies are going to Blu-ray.
- No wireless. Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii have wireless built-in. You would need to pay for a xbox360 wireless adapter ($100).
- Hard drive (20GB) is too small and the upgradeable 120GB is way too expensive ($180). Microsoft came out with their own form factor for the hard drives. Playstation 3 on the other hand allows you to buy any 2.5" hard drive (which is significantly cheaper) and replace it.
Tips:
- Keep your console in a ventilated area.
- Make sure you do not put the console and the power supply (the brick) on carpet.
- Set your xbox360 horizontally. There are vents on the bottom and this position allows it to cool better. There have been reports of scratched discs when it is set vertically.
- Do not buy the NYKO xbox 360 Intercooler. It can melt onto the xbox 360 and damage the power supply.

I bought this console as a presente for my son; but it failed after 2 months. All the light went on red and it did not work any more. I feel unhappy; because this product is not the kind of equipment you spect to fail so soon. Also I wasted the money I spent for this console. I wish microsoft could help me

I've owned the 360 for almost a year now. No issues. Great reliability with xbox live when my router is configured for open NAT. Halo 3 never freezes. The dvd player is loud during game play but is pretty quiet when watching movies. Wireless is durable with no issues of interference.
