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

After owning a 360 for about 4 months as well as now owning 7 games I can pretty much some up some details about it that I like and dislike. There listed here: I would first like to point out that when i first bought my 360, i had an error message displayed upon starting it up for the first time saying it had technical dificulties and it never displayed anything on screen from there on.

So i was told to take it back and get a refund which i did and the new 360 has worked fine ever since. Whey-hey!, back to the ...  Read the complete review

I've already posted a review about the 360 console I purchased online back in July 2006. See my review under XBOX 360 Premium. Unfortunately, after starting up a game recently the system froze. When I pressed the on off button, the console lights turned to three read lights - known as the ring of death. Three red lights usually means that the console has suffered an internal hardware failure. The following day I rang the Microsoft X-Box helpline. The number is a freephone number - 0800 587 1102. I think I was transferred to a call centre in India. I waited for 15 minutes before an operator came on the phone. If your console ever ...  Read the complete review

The Microsoft Xbox 360 core console is the basic unit of the Xbox360 games console. This unit is finished in all white, like a device made by the software company Apple, unlike the premium unit the disk tray on this console is finished in white and not the stylish silver/chrome. If you want to save your games you will have to purchase either the hard drive, or a memory card which will add significantly to the cost of this unit. You also get the wired controller, this is good but it doesn't offer the freedom of the wireless controller that comes with the other bundles. The only advantage of this bundle is its cost, as it has now ...  Read the complete review
