 I wanted a game system, and that's what i got! December 20, 2007
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
First off I'm not going to make a this huge technical comparison to the PS3, mainly because I don't own a PS3 and could give a crap about the geek crap about one game system having this or that gismo that the other one does not. I have had my X-Box for about 5 months and it's worked great, great looking, awesome features and everything i wanted in a game system. I don't even play online and it's still an awesome system.
At the time It was way cheaper ( and still is) than the PS3 and has a ton more games. I can't get Halo 3, Gears of War or Bioshock on PS3 and for that reason alone I like the X-box system better. I could give two craps about blue ray vs. HD-DVD, I wanted a game system to play games, fun games and lots of them. Yeah, it's cool to have a blue ray player with your PS3, that's pretty cool but don't act like your not paying for it. If I really need HD, then I'll go get it. By this time next year blue ray and HD DVD player will be half the price they are now, just you watch. If your like me and are just wanting the best games then you go 360...period, end of discussion. If you wanna get into the tech crap about this chip vs this processor then I guess go knock yourself out.
I've played PS3 a few times and I won't say it's a bad system with bad games, but the games that they have for just that system are far from great. I just know for a fact that the 360 has tons of games, some that are down right awesome and the system itself is worth every penny. I don't need 80 gigs for music and movies, I have a computer. I mean, how can you argue, 360 has more games, true, the 360 has better games, true, the 360 has a better online community in x-box live...very true. I'm sure the PS3 is fun but I'm hardly missing out having a 360.
 Red Ring of Death!!! December 19, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I read about the "red ring of death" hardware failure in Game Informer. I never really thought twice about it. About a month later it appears on my Xbox 360. I couldn't believe it! Upon further research I discovered this problem is so common with this console that Microsoft was forced to extend the warranty from 90 days to 3 years. This is cool and all but it goes to show you right there that this console has MAJOR issues with stability. So I lose my Xbox 360 for about 3 weeks as I wait for the box they sent me to come, send it out, and wait for it to come back. 10 days after receiving my "repaired" console back, after only playing it 3 times in the 10 day period, there are the red rings again flashing! Now I'm flaming mad! I called support and they apologize and told me that I need to send it back, and this time I'll get a different console back rather than the same "repaired" one. I would think twice about buying this console.
I like kittens! December 17, 2007

This is the best consol on the market. Anyone who disagrees probably isn't as cool as I am. Thats all there is to it. Buy a Wii... you won't touch it after 3 months... a ps3 is too expensive. The 360 is the best.
 Know which xbox 360 you are buying : new or old version December 9, 2007

Be careful that you are buying the new version of this system, which this model is probably not. The new updated xbox has an HDMI port, less problems and is only 7 lbs and smaller in size. It will cost more than this model. Amazon is also selling the new version. Pay attention to description and you'll get the right one.
See review on cnet for details.
No Problems Here. December 7, 2007
I'm 18 and I've been playing video games since I was as little as I can remember. From the first time I played Super Mario on the NES, and thought it was the best game ever (of course for the first few hours I thought the goal was to fall in the holes, not jump over them). After that I went to the Super NES. Donkey Country was my poison on that system. (The first game I actually mastered). Then for me it was the N64... But I'll skip ahead.
I had a Playstation 2, and had a great time with it. But around last Christmas I knew time was running out for my old faithful machine. So when it was time to make a decision, I knew the Playstation 3 was too pricey to ask for for christmas so I decided to jump into the Microsoft waters.
I have not been dissapointed at all. Is the machine on the loud side? The answer is yes. But it's no louder than my ceiling fan. But I have not played a game I didn't like since getting my Xbox 360 almost a year ago. Here are 5 of my favorites so far...
5.The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion
4.Saints Row (I hate rap, and "gangstA's" but this game is fun as hell)
3.Bioshock (One of the best games ever, but still not as great as the hype)
2.Gears of War (Possibly the best first person shooter I have ever played)
1.Mass Effect (This is the most amazing game I have ever played. Period.)
Microsoft makes games that I love. And even though some people may have problems with "the red ring of death" and other things like that. I have NOT. I bought a fan for my xbox 360 the week that I got it for Christmas (Better safe than sorry). I got it at gamestop for 10 bucks. And my 360 has never overheated.
Im looking forward to next year. Theres some great games coming. And while I will be getting a PS3 sooner rather than later, I will never abandoned my new comrade, the Xbox 360. I am officially a faithful follower of both game companies now. And yes, it is possible.
Thanks for your time, happy gaming and happy hollidays.
