I have recently purchased an Xbox 360 console and this gaming system became an item I use every day. This system has so many features that meet all of my needs. The best part about this system is it is cheaper than other gaming devices because it is an older model now. I honestly do not know what I would do if I did not have an Xbox 360 console because it has given me many hours of enjoyable game play and online use.

My boyfriend first bought the xbox 360 not long after it came out... and summarily sold it and rebought it twice over the course of the past couple of years. He is a pretty serious gamer, and really enjoys playing games like Call of Duty and Halo, which is great, espescially with the 360s superior online gaming support and community. I, on the other hand, am not much of a gamer, but do enjoy playing around on the 360. I play Uno, and enjoy talking to people around the world while we play. I also am a huge Rock Band enthusiast, and the Microsoft xbox 360 has the best version of this game, in my opinion. I'm so glad that we bought the system again. Now we are even doing netflix through the 360, so I'm looking forward to seeing how this go. On a side note, I really enjoy designing my avatar, and recreating it. A lot of new clothing and accessory items have been introduced, which are pretty fun and interesting! I wouldn't worry too much about the overheating. The red ring of death would definitely be daunting, and we know folks who have had it happen. My brother's had this issue, but Microsoft replaced the system, no problem. To avoid it, you may want to do as we have done: put the system on it's smaller side so that it is tallest horizontally, and possibly store it in one of the metal gaming shelving units that you can find at Target/Walmart/Kmart, which allow air flow all around.

My only problem is this doesn't have enough internal memory for pretty much any save files. I ended up getting the 320 GB external hard drive after Christmas to make up for this. Since then, I don't worry about having room for my Minecraft save. Game Variety No matter what genre you like, this console has it for you. It's not just for hardcore gamers as many people are led to believe. Controller Comfort It took a bit to get reacquainted with dual analog, but once I did, this controller just makes sense with the way hands work. Durability I've heard others have problems, but I haven't yet. Granted, I've had it less than a month.

For me, the Xbox 360 is the best of this generation's consoles. The graphics are great and developers are still pushing the limits of this older console. Xbox live is a great service and mostly everyone I know uses it, so I have no problem paying for the yearly subscription. The controller also is very comfortable and fits the hands just right.

Great console a large section of great games. Must buy for a hardcore gamer. Controller Comfort The controller is great, except for the D-Pad, and the analogs wear down and go bad after many uses. Durability Though any model of the 360 before 2008 were prone to issues, and if you must buy an older unit, I suggest 2008 or newer. The ones that are falcon / Jasper chipsets are your best bet. Even better are the newer ones, but the touch sensitive buttons are an atrocity.

LOVE MY XBOX. It's one of my most prized possessions. I frequently have heated arguments with my best-friend about how it's much better than her Ps3. Coupled with the xbox Kinect, it's AMAZING. The best console out in the market thus far according to me. Graphics Quality Especially when you use HD MODE. An excellent example of graphics would be while playing Assassins Creed. Game Variety Every kind of game you could possibly think of. Controller Comfort Fits right into your hands. Ease of Use I must say I get a little confused occasionally, but once you've learnt the basics, it's very easy to use. Durability It has survived many attacks from my large German Shepard as well as numerous trips in suitcases.

I am very happy with my Xbox 360. I was at one point not really into the Xbox 360, until I received it as a present. It has a 20 gig harddrive ( which you can buy a larger one to replace this one). It came with one controller, headset, power cords, and the console. I never have dealt with the red ring of death which is a blessing to me. The Xbox 360 allows you to play games online against your friends and other people you probably don't know, which is always fun especially if you're an only child like me. You can download "add-ons" for games (ex. rockband track packs), and other gaming accessories which you wouldn't be able to do with consoles before. You can also download games right on to your console without leaving your house to buy one on a disc. The game selection is pretty broad and the games aren't as expensive as games for a Wii would be. You can customize your own avatar on the Xbox as well as your "dashboard" and other small things.

I like this product. It is very reliable. since i've had it i'v had no problems. although the game disks themselves are flimsy and easy to mess up or scratch. but besides that it is sweet. From playing rpg's to dropping bombs in military games i've seen no problems with the loading of the games. i like to play the xbox. and all my family like to play this machine from my 5yr old nephew to my 50 yr old mother they all love the graphics and sounds. another great thing about this system is it's ability to go on the internet. man playing other people on the internet was the coolest thing. tell my why i was playing mortal kombat with a monk from hong kong. i never get bore on this system it's like never ending fun. i call it my neverending storybook. Why because after i beat one game i play another and it's like finishing a story and starting a new one. I like all the games my nephew likes the shooting games my mother likes the challenge games and i like the conquering the world games. so all in all it's a good system. oh and if you want to get customized you can buy covers of your favorite people or games and put them on the cover of your xbox i like to call it the skin. you can change the skin to fit whatever you like.

The Xbox 360 is one of my favorite game systems. Some of the games are so amazing with this technology. You do all kinds of online stuff on the xbox 360 such as playing games live with others. You also can watch movies with the xbox 360. There are wireless controllers and headsets. There are over a thousand games to play. Some for children such as bee movie and cars. For teens there are hunting games and all kinds of sporting games. You can own a xbox 360 any where from 200-400 plus. There are a few different types of xbox 360 such as the Elite, Limited edition elite, and the arcade. You get some kind of demos when you buy the xbox 360. With a xbox 360 you can save your games to come back to later if you needed to. Accessories can be pricey but there are many of ways to see where you can get the best deal such as searching the internet. The concole can red ring but we have found out to wrap a towel or blanket around it to cause it to over heat, without playing it, and give it 30 min approx and try to use it again. Online gaming is fun and doesn't cost anything to sign up. Depending on the consule it can be a bit loud because of the fan size.

Ahh the days of 2-D lame graphics are over. Don't get me wrong but when you compare 360 to your regular nintendo NES, SNES, Sega or even Gamecube, well, there's just no comparison. Best graphics when used with a high definition TV. It really does make all the difference. Plus there's a plethra of games for everyone! Some of them have a storyline so addicting you can play for hours at a time and not realize your entire day has passed. And it's almost as realistic as watching a tv show. If you aren't a gamer yet, you will be if you buy a 360. Oh, and let us not forget XBOX Live. Hook up to your wi-fi and play your favorite games with people from all over the world!
