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.

I love my Xbox360. BEST video game system out.
by throwerboy on December 29, 2010
Pros: The system. Games microsoft puts out. The interaction online. All the apps that you can do online. Microsoft seems to always improve on its product.
Cons: You have to pay for the online part per/year.
No blu-ray player....but who cares.Summary: If i had to compare. Whats better, Xbox360 or Playstation3. I would say Xbox360 by far. The pros that the Xbox360 has so far out weigh the Playstation3. On top ...
Summary: If i had to compare. Whats better, Xbox360 or Playstation3. I would say Xbox360 by far. The pros that the Xbox360 has so far out weigh the Playstation3. On top of that the system is built by Microsoft. No problems....Playstation3...problems. Had a red screen.

Both Company and their product are as bad as it gets.
by davebytbay on November 29, 2010
Pros: Considering the loss that I experienced, NONE. Lets calculate. $500+ for the system and some games. And how do you calculate the cost in frustration and the insult that this company put upon me.
Cons: Mine lasted less than a year. Microsoft arranged to fix it but instead accused me of tampering. The box was never opened. I will never buy microsoft anything again. It says a lot about a company when they sell garbage and then blames you.
Summary: Microsoft as a business has a reputation of devouring up smaller companies and basically doing anything to cut out any competition. This same ruthlessness was inflicted on me a lowly ...
Summary: Microsoft as a business has a reputation of devouring up smaller companies and basically doing anything to cut out any competition. This same ruthlessness was inflicted on me a lowly consumer. Fool me once shame on them. Now that you have read this, and you buy from them? Shame on you. Read about the tens of thousands that experienced the inconvenience of dealing with a piece of crap product. In my case they heaped on top of that a false accusation. After getting my box back from Microsoft I tried to open it up. Which is what they accused me of doing. I couldn't figure out how to do it. Gave it to a friend who took it to someone that repairs them and was told that it could not be fixed. The circuit board had warped so badly from heat buildup that it could not be repaired. What idiot company builds a computer gaming system and does not know that every computer out there has cooling built in? Everything about my experience is completely unimaginable that such a thing could happen from such a leading company. Do you know what is more amazing? That people still buy from them.

Good games, but lacking many features. Expensive online
by Koolaidman94 on September 14, 2010
Pros: Good games, nice controller and keyboard. online system is nice. Easy setup. Cheap games.
Cons: The red ring. No built-in wifi. The controller eats batteries. Expensive to play online. The avatar is lame, and paying $5 to get a shirt for it is just a rip-off. If you dont buy a gold account, you are very, VERY limited to what you can do.
Summary: While the game line-up is good. $50 (its soon to be $60) a year to play online and access many of the features just isnt worth it. While setup is ...
Summary: While the game line-up is good. $50 (its soon to be $60) a year to play online and access many of the features just isnt worth it. While setup is simple plug and play, you will need to get either an ethernet cord, or spend $100 on a wireless adapter of you want to connect online. The few features it does have are only available to gold members. Things like Facebook, Last.FM, Twitter and Netflix are all only available to those who have a gold membership. Its Facebook integration is lacking compared to the PS3. Last.FM will play one song by the artist you searched for, then it just plays songs like it. Twitter works good and actually isnt all that bad. Would give features a 2.5 (out of 5)
The way you can buy things from the marketplace is with Microsoft Points, which is kinda like Wii Points but more complicated. $1 is equal to 80 Microsoft Points. which is annoying when you are trying to determine how much something is. but when you go to buy like more expensive things like full games, they are priced in dollars which means you cant use the $100's you may have spent on points to buy them. I give the currency system a 1.5 for being so confusing
The online part of it is fairly nice. The overall GUI isnt hard to use, but it is still hard to just find out whats on your hard drive without having to go through a few menus. Any alert you get (such as an achievment) can be instantly looked at by hitting the guide button (no, not the one to find whats on tonight, the big green and siver 'x' button in the middle of the controller) to bring up a screen showing whatever it was that the alert was about. For instance, if you just got some achievment and you have no clue what it was for, hitting the guide button while the message is being dispayed will bring up the achivement list for that game. If your buddy messages you saying whats up, same deal, tap the guide button, and you will be brought to that message. Your bud comes online, tap the guide button, the friends list pops up. But one thing you arent alerted of, is when someone goes offline, meaning finishing that level before you go and see if your friend wants to play a game, just to find out that he went off a minute before you decided to message him, kinda just makes you annoyed at the fact you had to open the friend list just to find out that your bud's offline. Inviting people is a no-brainer, if the game supports multiplayer, just go find someone whos online (and has gold) and hit invite to game. Messageing is simple, you can leave a voice message, text message, send both, or even if you have gold, and an Xbox Vision camera, send a snapshot of your gameface. One thing that isn supported is sending pictures from the hard drive as attatchments in a message. General online play is somewhat nice, sice all xboxes come with a headset, most people have one. But sometimes, and this is a regular occurance, multiplayer games LAG, alot. So if you are about to make that winning kill on Quantum of Solace, and someone (probably using the wireless adapter because usually thats the case) lags the game. Tough luck, and your gonna need to try again. So i give online play a 4 because while its good when it works, its really not worth that hard earned $60. I give messaging a 3.5 because you cant send pictures from the hard drive, you cant have emoticons, and you cant copy and paste text. The GUI is a solid 4 with the shortcuts and somewhat easy to use menu.
Customization is VERY limited. you cant make your own themes or change the background to your favorite pet. While the avatar is pretty much what you make it into, getting new things for it can be expensive (come on, $5 for a prop?). Though you can have a name, motto, location, and bio in your profile. The number of people who really read bios are rather slim. Plus, be careful if you live in somewhere like Fort Gay, Microsoft wont bother find out that Fort Gay is a town in West Virginia (look it up, a user was suspended because microsoft took it as being innapropriate). I give customization a 2 for the little there is.
So all in all, if you have the money for online, and like the games, the xbox is great. But if you like Features, Free stuff, Blu-ray, a great media center, Good intigration, or a virtual online world. then maybe PS3 is for you. If you want a good family friendly console with good features and is fun for all ages, the Wii is for you. Let me leave off with a note that both the Wii and PS3 have a good built-in internet browser, and Netfix streaming through a disk. -
Great Games but Horrible Console
by amplex007 on July 23, 2010
Pros: -Xbox Live service is great
-Games are amazing, especially if you like FPS
-Easy to use and easy to setup, no installing games
-Cheap
-Controller feel AmazingCons: -Hardware Failures
-No Wi-Fi (PS3 and Wii both have Wi-Fi
-Unusual HDD that's expensive to upgrade
-Memory Cards are ridiculous and expensive
-Have to pay for Xbox Live, the only console that make you pay to playSummary: -Hardware Failures: It seems like everyone has had problems with the red rings of death on the original 360 consoles. I got a 20GB Premium 360 way back in 2006 ...
Summary: -Hardware Failures: It seems like everyone has had problems with the red rings of death on the original 360 consoles. I got a 20GB Premium 360 way back in 2006 and within a year or two had the rings of death. Fortunately, customer service was good, but they took forever to get it back to me. After another year I sold the 360 and bought a pc. Out of the four game consoles (PS3, Wii, 360, PC) the 360 is easily the least reliable.

Excellent gaming system.
by Caustic99 on February 25, 2010
Pros: The console has great graphics and great games. The online xbox live play is awesome and multimedia is very good. Also it has a very good and comfortable controller. It is easy to set up and has a very clean interface.
Cons: Must buy networking adapter separate for xbox live. Red ring is frequent.
Summary: Awesome product. A must buy for anyone even somewhat interested for gaming. Works for the casual gamer or the crazy MLG players.

Summary: Do not leave any cds in the box. Just moving the box a couple of mm can scratch a cd it is a piece of sh#$!$@%t . I have lost so many cds. Do not use the Wire less connection it is awful when playing on line most of the time it is lagging or lose connection.Your better of connecting directly to the modem when playing on line. The on line community is according to the world of Microsoft. The MS xbox community consist of a lot of commercials and penny charging you for every thing .When your one year subscription is due MS will charge you with out a warning so watch your credit card.
