Customer Review: Why? Because its black and cool looking!
Never gives me any problems, nice shiny look to fit in the spot Im putting it, can do a lot with it! Well my review is not going to compare the old 360 with this one as I dont own an old 360 rather tell you what I enjoy about this one which could be the same as the old one, I dont know… Coming soon you can watch Netflix which is great. I love you can rent movies and watch them from your xbox. I can link up to my computer as a media extender to watch movies on the big screen! The hdmi cord comes with it plugged right in to my radio and sounds LOUD and Crisp! Must say I like the sound quality better then the ps3. I watch all my dvds on it ( no blue rays ) have to have a ps3 do something I guess. Chat with my friends online! Check to see what new awards they got on the games I got and set out to beat them! I like it? ya. I like the games I play? Duh (wouldnt play them if I didn’t). What makes the games on the 360 better then playing them on other consels? I get little creidt that I achieved something that my friend can see showing I did it. Others do not do this. Plus many games you just cant get that 360 makes (Halo3). Anything you do not like about it? When I first got it, I had a digital input in my radio and an hdmi port in my tv, but the extender will not let you plug an hdmi and a digital cord into the 360 together so I had to use the yellow red and white. Upgraded my radio and now it has the hdmi port (reason I got it) and works great. Why do you want such a huge hard drive? I rent moveis all the time and download clips and free shows, free games, new maps and extras! I have a bunch of games my dad likes saved right to the hard drive. Why have more then you need? Because less is a worse feeling!
Customer Review: X-box 360 is the best for serious gamers
I only gave this product 2 stars because I already had a X-box 360. It got the red rings of death and I couldnt get microsoft to send me a box so i could send it to be fixed. So I bought the cheapest Elite I could find on this site. At first it was great. Then I noticed about an hour in the game graphics would warp like theold Nintendo cartridges would when not in the system right, but right enough that they would still play. I thought it was the game at first, as I had played other games in the Elite and non of them had the same problem, until I played Halo 3 in my Elite and it did the same things in less than an hour. Afte that I decided to return it and finally get on Microsoft about getting my old 360 repaired. The 360 is really the best system for serious gamers. If you have a wii, most likely you play it when friends are over or if you want a good work out, not if you want to do actuall gaming with quality games. The ps3 has almost no titles, while the 360 while not the best in graphics and not always kid friendly has the widest selection of games for the serious and grown up gamer. For that I would give the system 5 starts but this particular system I bought only recieved 2.
I was one of the one that waited in line at Wal-Mart for 12 hours, waiting on midnight to come so I could be one of the few lucky guys to be one of the first with an Xbox 360. I got it home and played for hours on end for months until one day I went to turn my 360 on and I saw 3 red rings of death (RRoD). I was puzzled, not sure what to do. I turned it on and off, on and off, I figured it just got hot or dusty or something so I let it rest for a few days. I came back to play it and still nothing. After wanting to throw it through a window from the 3rd floor of my apartment I decided that I shouldn’t and called Xbox told them about the RRoD and they said that they can fix it….for a price!
Well needless to say I didn’t have a choice, I boxed it up sent it in and $100 and a month later I got it back and it worked great until a couple of weeks ago, I went to snuggle up on the couch with my girlfriend to watch a scary movie and……yep that’s right RRoD! Well I don’t have another DVD player because I have a n Xbox360 and a high def TV! Once again xbox got me!
Again after sending it in and a month or so later I received it back and it works fine….for now. There are ways to fix the dreaded RRoD in an hour or you get your money back no questions asked. If only I would Known how to fix it the night I tried to watch a scary movie with my girlfriend I could have fixed my xbox and who knows….maybe still have a girlfriend!
Xbox has said that this happens due to total hardware failure, not sure why this has happened to so many people but apparently its costing Microsoft a ton of money to fix the issue. There are a few ways to fix this dreaded problem.
1) you can just buy a new 360
2) you can send it off to Microsoft and wait for them to get around to it, or
3) there are informative site on the net that can tell you how to fix this issue.
So basically those are your options.
Well good luck with what ever you decide to do!
