CNET editors' review
Microsoft Xbox 360 Pro (60GB, HDMI) price range: $349.99
- Reviewed by: Jeff Bakalar
- Reviewed on: 10/15/2008
The good: All games in high-definition; easy-to-use Dashboard interface; excellent online gaming and communications via Xbox Live; plays hundreds of (but not all) original Xbox titles; doubles as a superior digital media hub and Windows Media Center extender; online Marketplace allows for easy purchases of downloadable full-scale games, minigames, movies, and TV shows; latest version offers HDMI output with 1080p support; reduced power supply footprint; new processor runs cooler and quieter.
The bad: No support for next-generation HD discs, like Blu-ray; early versions of the console prone to "red ring of death" system crash; online gaming require a paid subscription to Xbox Live.
The bottom line: Now that Blu-ray has become the pre-eminent high-definition standard for discs, the Xbox 360 has yet to support it, but it still remains an excellent game console with a superior game library and online experience.

This Platform is the best on the market right now.
by wyverntech on June 5, 2009
Pros: The best part of the Xbox is the online functionality. whether it is gaming with friends or watching movies on Netflix, this console preforms well under all circumstances. Another great thing about the Xbox is the games.
Cons: One downside of the Xbox is the $50 charge for xbox live, and the fact that a wifi adapter isn't free.
Summary: Bottom line is that this is a great system that is great for the whole family and is well worth the money. i would recommend it highly.

Great Console!
by rohit2.menon on May 18, 2009
Pros: Huge Game Library, Media features, 60GB Harddrive, Beautiful interface, Xbox Live is the most brilliant online gaming platform, Xbox Live Arcade, 1080p support via HDMI cable, Brilliant controllers and accessories, Media extender with Windows PC.
Cons: Humongous Power Brick, some very expensive Games, Red Ring of Death and E74 occur if console is allowed to overheat, Loud noise caused by the drive (less noise made by newer 360's), No Blu-ray, and a fee has to be payed for online gaming, no WiFi.
Summary: The games are awesome and they showcase the console's graphical prowess. Controllers have a nice feel, and the overall gaming experience is epic. The titles are consistenly good, and ...
Summary: The games are awesome and they showcase the console's graphical prowess. Controllers have a nice feel, and the overall gaming experience is epic. The titles are consistenly good, and they can only keep getting better. The Xbox Live Arcade is great, consisting of thousands of titles of original games, classics, and old Xbox games.
Online gaming is phenomenal. The experience is seamless with no real quirks, but on the downside there is a fee to be paid to play online. Online gaming for the month of purchase is free though. The rewards system for the Xbox 360 is very good. For each game you play, you have to get some achievements, which entitle you to a certain number of points. Get a good number of points and you can buy any title you like from the Xbox Marketplace.
The new interface is neat, and very accessible.
With a firmware update, avi files can be played along with a wide range of codecs. DVD's and CD's can be played and even a flash drive can be plugged in to view pictures, listen to music or to watch videos.
The console tends to get hot while playing games, so care has to be taken while playing. If the console gets too hot, you will see 3 red lights, which my friend, isn't a good sign.
Additional accessories add up to the cost of the whole package, like for example, if you want the 360 to get online wirelessly, you will have to go and purchase a wireless adaptor which could set you back $20-30.
Overall, the Xbox 360 is great value for money, and should be purchased by hardcore gamers and casual gamers alike.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

The console offers great options for a Home Theater.
by ZodiacPup64 on April 30, 2009
Pros: It offers great multimedia features, like streaming music and some video formats from a PC
Neat graphics in games
Wide variety of games available, plus some original XBox titles
High-Def & Standard-Def supported
Cool curve designCons: You still have to pay for complete online gaming experience
Can't read Blu-Ray movies
Doesn't have a built-in wireless card
Fatal hardware errors have wiped away trust in the console, though claimed to be fixed, still happen in new modelsSummary: The XBox 360 is a good option for any home entertainment system, especially with high definition screens, but standard definition is also supported.

This console offers cool multimedia features, like streaming music, and some video formats (.avi/.wmv) right from your PC over the network, which leaves you more hard disk space, by reducing the need to save music in your console. Buying arcade games as well as some Original XBox titles online add a plus to its online service.
This game console also has some very cool exclusive games that might be woth buying a new console in some cases.
In general this is a good console, although there are some very common problems with early models, such as fatal hardware errors like the red ring of death, although Microsft has claimed to have reduced the number of defective units for sale. Buyers should be adviced to keep their buy tickets and their properly sealed warranty policies in a safe place as they are more likely to need them than with other game consoles.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Fantastic Console
by krabagobanjo on April 16, 2009
Pros: - Great game library, plus online store integration.
- Great Online. You have to buy it, but for less than $5 a month it's worth it.
- Compatible with Zune and works as a Windows Media Center Extender.Cons: - Reliability perhaps may be questionable but no problems yet.
- No built in Wi-Fi and wired ethernet is only 100 Mbps. The extra dongle for wifi is only 802.11 A/B/G and is $100, but you can hook it up to your computer and use its Internet access.Summary: Solid addicting product with great games and functionality. Worth every cent.

Oh, and you may want to purchase either a "Play and Charge" kit for a rechargeable controller battery or get a wired controller because you'll be on it so much that you'll suck the juice out of a thousand AA Batteries.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: Best gaming system. ive owned a PS3 for about 2 months. realized most my friends play games online on there xbox 360 so i decided to sell the ps3 to get an xbox. I DONT REGRET IT AT ALL. at first i was kinda sketchy because i loved the ps3. at first i kept telling all my friends the ps3 was way better and the only reason they say xbox 360 was better is because they own it. well after having it for the first 2 weeks. i couldnt believe how much in love with it i became. only disappointments were having to pay for xbox live (WELL WORTH IT THO!!), no Wi-Fi connection (its all good cuz i bought the wireless adapter) and no blue ray player. overall, i love my 360. i will always miss my ps3, but this was a great update to me.
