Xbox 360 Elite Bundle

Posted by top4play on September 3, 2008

Introducing Xbox 360 Elite, the premier Xbox 360 console package that includes a massive 120GB hard drive, a HDMI port, and HDMI cable, all wrapped up with a premium black finish. Xbox 360 Elite also includes a black wireless controller and black Xbox LIVE headset. Xbox 360 Elite has enough space for a whole library of Xbox LIVE Arcade games as well as downloadable high-definition TV shows, movies, music, and all the other content available from Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
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!

Xbox 360 Faceplates Carbon

Posted by top4play on September 3, 2008

The Xbox 360 Silver Faceplate gives you the option of customizing the look of your new gaming system. This high-quality faceplate helps prevent scratching or peeling, while giving your 360 a completely new&different look.

So there you are, deep in the middle of a Call Of Duty online match, when the Xbox 360 freezes and three red rings light up. You know what’s happening because your buddy’s Xbox 360 did the same thing and it took him a month to send it in and get it repaired. You don’t want to wait that long to get back to playing your favorite games, so what do you do?

Can you fix this problem yourself or are you going to have to go through the long process of sending your console back to Microsoft for a repair?

Before sending it back, there are some methods you can try to get you back up and running. Try these before you do anything else.

Turn your Xbox 360 off and then power it back on. Are the lights green or are they red? If they are green you are good to go, but understand that the issue may come back to haunt you sooner or later.

There are four quadrants of lights that try to point to the problem.

If only one light is red, try unplugging the power and all cables from your unit. Plug them back in and check the lights again.

If the second light is red, it is more than likely an overheating issue. Is your Xbox 360 located in a well-ventilated area? If not, try removing from your entertainment center, let it cool for awhile, and then power it back on again.

If all three lights are red, you are looking at a major hardware failure, one that may require the unit to be shipped back to the manufacturer for repair. The process involves calling Microsoft for a “coffin”, a shipping box, to send the unit back. That takes a few days, then you ship the console back and wait for your unit to be shipped back to you, a very laborious and boring process.

Don’t fear the red ring of death!

If you don’t want to ship your Xbox 360 back, try fixing it yourself with this handy guide:

Customer Review: Great customer service
I’ve seen some previous reviews and highly disagree with ‘em. People, if you wanted memory alongside this, you shoulda read the description better. As for me, these people have done nothing but watch my back. I purchased one way back in January and it still runs smooth as silk. I had all my cords and memory and whatnot from my previous and busted 360. and in my opinion, it ran better. When I went to buy another as a gift for a friend, the first thing that happened was they asked me if it was because the last one I bought was busted already. They gave me instructions that were not only beneficial but very kind. These people look out for their customers unlike the rest of of the customer services I dealt with. I for one have never once made a regret of buying this. But for those who just rush shop and not pay attention, then, yeah, let the buyer beware.
Customer Review: Good System
We love the Xbox, only problem is once in a while it refuses to read our disks! Have to keep trying to load CD, eventually they are played, but sometimes takes a while, otherwise it’s great!
