It was about 3 Christmas's ago when Sue and I first became interested in the Xbox 360 when her son visited us and decided to buy one for himself that he linked to our TV for a few play sessions on a game that had been released only a few days earlier. Sue and I never got to use his Xbox, but it was enough to make us think about it and how useful it might be for ourselves and our two girls so a couple of week later we went out to buy one from Argos. It was on sale for around £140 (from what I recall) and what was the deciding factor between Argos and the other shops we had considered - including Game was what games were included and how much extras one would ...  Read the complete review

@ About @ I bought this console in 2007 and after much thought about the problems such as red ring, I still bought it and hoped for the best. Big mistake. I am a red ring of death victim 3 times, and I have had over heating and hardware problems in between each return to Microsoft. However, there are some positive things to talk about too. The console comes in a neat and tidy box with multiple manuals in lots of languages. There is not too much plastic, the console itself comes in a plastic bag as do the cables and controllers but the rest is all recyclable. The core package does not come with any hard drive but does come with an ...  Read the complete review

The xbox 360 is a Video gaming system manufactured by Microsoft and a complete and utter failure. Losing microsoft $10 billion. A costly mistake This Cheap Version of the xbox 360 came out at £250 and destroying the video Gaming industry the moment it landed into stores, many of the world's Xbox's suffered the fatal xbox Red Ring of Death, which would result in the failure of many xbox's around the world.

I used the Core version of the Xbox 360, which was my friends, while I saved up for the Premium. The first thing I'd say is that this is the most basic version of the 360 you can buy and therefore cheapest. Although this may seem appealing as the 360 is expensive, I would definitely recommend to buy at least the Premium. This is because the Core does not come with a hard drive. Instead you get a memory unit of very small memory. All you will be able to hold on there is game saves. These are actually quite expensive as well so it is much cheaper in the long run to just buy the Premium. You also only get a wired controller, not the wireless one and you don't ...  Read the complete review

The Xbox 360 core system is currently my 3rd xbox 360, the rest of them have had the RRoD(Red Ring of Death) or the disk read error. In my opinion it is almost like they are made to break so you have to buy another one or fork out £90 for a simple repair. Apart from the fact its highly likely to break down it does have good graphics and online play(which you have to pay for). The core pack comes with the console, a controller and all the necessary wires. It has a limited amount of memory which means you won't be able to download anything from the market place, but you can buy a USB memory stick and it will work in the same way as an official Xbox hard drive ...  Read the complete review
