Microsoft - Xbox 360 Premium Console — 

This was what I THOUGHT was going to be a new and exciting game,vastly different from ALL other games,but my sons and I were very disappointed! This is just a slightly newer version (with a remote control) of the 2nd edition with a horribly marked up price!AND FORGET playing the OLD XBOX games! To get the "FULL EFFECT" you have to have the NEW XBOX 360 games!The games are even more expensive than the old XBOX games,as if that was possible!The console/core game are going for outrageous prices!Even BROKEN units are selling for high prices on eBay...the reason so many are for sale on ebay .....they overheat due to some sort of problem with the soldering.It overheats and stops working.They "SUGGEST" placing it in the oven with a towel over it and heating at X degrees F to correct their poor jopb at soldering.NOT GOOD for a "TOY" that costs upwards of $400 including tax!

On the plus side is that it also plays DVDs and MP3.

But an MP3 player and a DVD player are much cheaper to buy separately.DVD players with TV have a bigger screen than a computer screen,and what if MOM or Dad want to use the computer? No game playing,UNLESS you happen to have your OWN computer.

Too many BUGS to be worked out of this one yet to buy it.
