Good Points

The graphics are excellent and the controller feels really nice to hold. 20gb storage is enough for what you need.

Bad Points

Basically everything else. I absolutely loved this console when i first got my hands on it but my mind quickly changed. There is a distinct lack of quality games. Oblivion being the best (but you can get this on pc for around half the price). Dead Rising was good for a while but you get the feeling they could have done this years ago, with worse graphics, games can freeze and 2 of mine just died on me. I'm on my third now..

General Comments

    A friend of mine was also un-impressed by many games graphics, untill i pointed out they had'nt enabled the high definition output! After doing so they were very happy. Have you checked your looking at a 1080i picture?

    Yeah, it was all set up right. I just don't think the Xbox 360 games are good enough to be honest.
    My friend has just bought that new Capcom game (can't remember the name of it - the icy one), and he finished it the day after he got it...It's good, apart from being too short.

    My friend has a 360 and loves it. The graphics look great and what games are out are cool.
    I have played on it as well, and agree it is a fab console.
    I do think it has noisey fans however and this could have been sorted with smaller quieter ones, or use a bigger heatsink.


    He does say that the best games come out VERY SLOWLY and this annoys him a little.

    He often plays on his PS2 waiting for the next GOOD 360 game to come out, which tells you a lot!
