Advantages: Great graphics, easy to use, looks nice

Disadvantages: Very poor reliability

I have owned many game consoles over the years, too many to name infact. I had the first original Xbox (more reliable than the other Xbox consoles) then when the first Xbox 360 came out I bought one of them, until it broke (RROD) a few months after having it, so I purchased another which lasted me about a year if that and broke because of the same problem.

When this Xbox was released with Microsoft stating they had finally fixed the RROD problem I was over the moon, no more need to buy an Xbox a year, so I rushed to the shops and snapped up the 4GB one (couldn't afford the 250GB one).

I have been using it for about half a year now, and already start to notice problems, It doesn't seem to be as bad as the RROD problem yet but at least once a week it will just freeze mid play, which can be quite annoying if you don't save often. To me it seems as though it's on it's last legs and I'll probably have to purchase a new one soon.

Overall it's a great console 10/10 for everything except you have to pay to play online which is a massive con! And there is no browser like there is on the PS3.

I definitely prefer Microsoft consoles to Sony ones, bar a few things. I just wish they were more reliable!

Summary: Would be so much better if reliability wasn't an issue!
