customer service

Great console apart from POOR design . i have yet to meet someone online or offline ,who has not had to have there xbox360 repaired and many have multipal repair which do not last . If your lucky realy lucky you will get 13 months of gameplay if your not ,it could be as little as three . if microsoft don't resolve the issue sony will make a fortune . argos has a no return policy ,they will tell you to speak to microsoft . game and gamestation have a no quible replacment policy , so ask before you buy as the repair process can take 3 to 4 weeks . i paid for xbox live but cant use it . beware !

unbiased view

i have to say that both consoles of this market(ps3 and xbox 360) are excellent machines and both will entertain you for hours so either way the machine you buy will keep you happy. The only way i feel that the ps3 is better is due to the fact that there are no hidden costs, you get a free connection to the playstation network and a built in wi-fi system(for use with psp's and for connecting to the internet). when you buy an xbox it will cost you an extra £40 per year to connect to xbox live and a further £60 one off payment for a wireless adapter for your xbox. therefor even the xbox arcade version will cost the same as a 40gb ps3 if you want these additions of course.

A gaming machine, built for gamers.

The 360 is a dedicated games machine. It doesn't mess around trying to be a multimedia centre like the PS3, and isn't aiming to crack the so called "Family gaming" market like the Wii. It play music, dvds and games, and that's enough for me. The (Optional) XBox Live service will cost you £40 a year extra, but is absolutely worth it, boasting the best online gaming service around. It allows you to keep track of friends and what people are playing so you'll never be waiting in a lonely game lobby wondering if your buddys are online. With no shortage of games and more to come, I'm short on time to play them all. ~ ~ The Wii is unique and special, but not for me. The PS3 is powerful, but has yet to warm up. The 360 plays games, good games. And that's what a games console should do.

buy the stand alone

I personally believe console + games are a no no because the games you get are usaully bad ones the console is great so buy the stand alone if you can first.

HD DVD why?

Now that the 360 elite has better hard drive space and a better colour and hd dvd incorporated the console is a power house shame that HD dvd is dead but still a great deal

Can't complain for the price.

I like this camera. I find I can fit my whole body in the shot, no matter what time of day it is. I am hopping to be on Big Brother next season and will leave this on 24 hours a day - I will have to see if it can pass the test.

Good but not that good

Been around for a bit now and is losing pace with other consoles, the GREAT BIG benefit of this system will the price and the games that are out there when compared to the PS3, but still a great media centre.

Crackdown (Xbox360)

Decent roaming action game

This one came as a suprise! Set in a colourful cell shaded free roaming city, you are a 'super cop' tasked with keeping the peace, which basically means killing lots of bad guys! You can climb and jump to reach anywhere in the city, collecting special power orbs as you go, and fighting crime. Super powered speed and strenght are your tools, along with transforming vehicles and good set of weapons. It's a different take on the Grand Theft Auto idea that feels fresh and is addictive. Ever wanted to use a car as a shield then throw it at a group of bad guys? Ever wanted to pretend you are a super hero who can jump great heights and smash people into pieces? Ever wanted to try and collect all the power up bonuses in a game? Check this out, you won't be disappointed!

Great console

The Xbox 360 really is gaming at it's best. It has the best catalogue of games, usually the better versions of multi platform games, and the best on-line gaming this side of the old fashioned PC! Yes, the PS3 has a blu ray drive, but the games are where a gaming console needs to shine, and the PS3 is lagging behind. The 60gb won't last you long when most new releases need 5-10gb installations before you can play them! If you are tempted by a PS3 just remember you can buy and a Xbox 360 AND a blu ray player for a bit less, then you will have a better games machine and a better blu ray machine...

Definetly worth the money

I prefer 360s to PS3s and have played both a lot. The control pads are a little bulky but that would be my only complaint.

So addictive

I bought this game a few days ago and I am so addicted to it… This is aimed at children so the voice over can be quite patronising but the game is fun and the creatures are very cute…

Simple, comfortable and solid

The keyboard is pretty simple, offering the standard 101 keys and an additional three hotkeys for things like mail and internet. The mouse is comfortable and offers the standard two buttons and a scroll wheel. I find the keys on the keyboard very comfortable to type on. A very decent set at a very decent price, just what we need in these financial times!

Great gaming mouse

A great mouse for gaming and affordable too. Besides the regular two buttons and a scroll wheel it has a button on the left hand side that you can use with your thumb (if you are right handed). All buttons are assignable through the freely downloadable Microsoft IntelliPoint and can be mapped to a number of actions or even a key (sequence). The mouse is very comfortable to use even for longer periods of time and is highly recommendable to gamers. Unless of course you want a mouse with 5+ buttons, but then you're looking at a different price bracket.

Second to One

For me the Xbox falls behind the PS3. Yes the Xbox has the bigger games catalogue(at the moment) but with the PS3 there is no need for add-ons. Already installed is the Blu-ray player, the 60GB hard drive and the ability to go online wirelessly. I do like the Xbox but what I fall out with is after you have spent £200 to get the console, you have to shell out more money to get it anywhere near the PS3.

This game is awesome!

as the title suggests, this game is awesome! amazing story driven single player, the only thing i will say is the A.I is a bit silly some times! your so called "team mate" doesn't listen to you and gets taken out far too easily!!! the co-op play is the best for me though, makes this game, either with a friend on LIVE or sat next to you, awesome! The multiplayer is really good! unless you get some nasty individual with a shotgun rolling round and blasting you! Get this game, you will not be diapointed!!!!

High Def Gaming

There is everything in this box to get you started without breaking the bank. Okay the games dont exactly make the most of the system but they are still fun. You can add on the hard drive, extra controllers and all sorts of other stuff later. For my money the Xbox is a much better gaming machine than the PS3 and there is a much bigger games catalogue for it
