Im never really been a huge gamer, until Feb if this year ive had my trust PS2 for 8 years with a selection of aqbout 6 games, and that suited my needs fine!

However, following surgery i was confined to the house for 2 months to recover, and getting bored easily i decided to buy an Xbox 360 and selection of games, to go with my new HD TV

I purchased the Arcade version new, and couldnt wait to set it up when it arrived to see how it compared to the PS2 or the Wii that we had - well i was very impressed!

Setting up = Very easy and straightforward with a HDMi cable

Graphics - this console seems to produce very crisp and clear pictures, in a different league to what i had been used to. Particularly the attention to detail on games like PGR4, Assassins Creed and Oblivion

Game selection - probably the biggest selection of games available are for the Xbox 360 - they do everything. And because there are so many you can pick up some older titles for VERY reasonable prices

Playability - Having become very used to the PS2 control i thought it woudl be very difficult to adjust to something different, but found this not to be a problem as control is very well designed and made perfect sense. Also on a plus point if you use Duracell batteries in the control they have an amazing lifespan!

All round if you want a good console with a great range of games, this is the best choice!
