Microsoft Xbox 360 Arcade

There are many pros and cons to this console. I brought the "Xbox 360 Arcade" due to the great games that are available for it, such as Fable 2, GTA IV, Fallout 3 etc and the amazing graphics and sound that are provided with each game. Compared to the original Xbox, it is slightly better looking, a sleek cream and grey curvy box compared to the harsh black edgy shape of the Xbox, but is not too dissimilar in size so can be a problem if you don't have that much room to house it in your TV unit. I bought this model, the "Xbox 360 Arcade" simply to "plug and play". If you will use it more for online gaming, I'd ...  Read the complete review

The X-Box 360 Arcade package is probably the cheapest X-Box package currently available and contains just about everything you need to get you started in your gaming experience. Personally, I see this more as a starters kit, it contains all the basics that you need and that's about it, so it's a good package for testing the X-Box out and finding out if you'd like to upgrade. I bought one of these around Christmas time (2008) for around £130, just after they came right down in price and must say that I was more than satisfied with the product until Microsoft decided to screw over all x-box 360 arcade owners on 11th August 2009 with an update that causes them ...  Read the complete review

This console is a great choice for your High definition gaming alone. Boasting an impresive line up of bleeding edge games, and an impressive back catalogue from the two years it had been out so far. With an inbuilt high definition multimedia interface, or HDMI for shot, the 360 arcade is fully compatible with HD televisions, which is more than can be said for its older brothers and sisters, the Premium. Unfortunately to experience this great feature fully you need to fork out for the extra money to buy hdmi cables. Once you've set this machine up, its a breeze to start playing games, simple plug and play as it is with all consoles. The 360 pumps out its games usualy in ...  Read the complete review

I recently purchased the Xbox 360 Arcade console mainly so i could play some games that are not available on other consoles. I bought mine from a seller on Amazon.co.uk and used a £15 voucher bringing the price to about £85 so i got a great deal. The console arrived a couple of days later. The console was used when i got it but i knew it was, it was only used a couple of times though and this shows as it was in perfect condition, everything was with it. Infact it didn't look used at all, the only thing that showed me that it had been used was there was a users account still saved on the console. OK, i opened the box and found the console itself. The ...  Read the complete review

I originally owned the xbox premium console which was extremely good, especially as it came with the 20gb hard drive which proved very useful. However, it broke just after the warranty ended so i decided to purchase the xbox arcade console as it was the cheapest on the market. I also got the free xbox arcade compilation disc and another free game. The xbox 360 in my opinion is probably the best console available to buy on the market at the moment. This is a great next generation console which includes loads of great features. However it does not go much beyond being a games console - unlike its competitor the PS3. The xbox 360 console has ...  Read the complete review
