Advantages: Good overall games

Disadvantages: Costly, breakdown alot

The Xbox360 is one of the most well known in consoles but is it really as good as people make it seem well in my opinion i don't think so, although a matter of opinion the Xbox360 may be one of the most well known but in the end it can cost more than it Seems.

Problems -
1. One problem with the Xbox360 is the Wireless adapter surely if the Wii and the PlayStation 3 can both have in-built wireless then surely the X box can also have this but they made it so you had to but an extra piece of hardware costing £50 this is, in my opinion a way to get more money out of you.

2. Microsoft also charges you to play online by getting membership cards although only costing £35 a year it adds up so if you are planning on playing online you also need to add this onto the £170 (premium console) that this console costs.

3. Generally the problems that the Xbox360 has its greatly over rated overheating is its primary problem you must keep it several feet from anything for the proper air support, there also the, as its called Red eyes of doom which can spout up at anytime giving it a couple of weeks trip to the repair shop or to Microsoft.

4. Wireless pads don't come with a chargeable battery pack you must buy that separate so you need to add another £10 to the price.

Dis Advantages -
Although i don't personally own a Playstation3 a friend does and of what i have seen it is by far superior I am not a Playstation3 fan i am simply writing what i have seen on that note Unlike the Xbox360 the Playstation3 has in-built wireless although the cost of the console is greater than the Xbox360 if you add the wireless adapter you will see the price is roughly the same if you buy a years online membership for the Xbox360 the price actually Exceeds the Playstation3 you can also take into account that the Wireless adapter is on the outside of the Xbox360 and can be damaged due to External force Some people also steer towards the Xbox360 due to its light weight but is it really necessary, are you going to hold it while you play? and finally Game cost although the Xbox360 is cheaper you must take limits into consideration Xbox360 does not use blue-ray and hence has a rough limit of 5GB so when games become more advanced the console will be force to accept Blue-ray hence updating there consoles to play them so if you own a Xbox360 that does have a blue-ray player you will have to SPEND more money to update it if your lucky they might re-call all consoles and update them for free but in my opinion not likely, so dont just take the pretty graphics into consideration, they may be on par with the Playstation3 but eventually the games will breach the disks maximum usage and then problems will arise.


Overall the Xbox360 is not really worth as much as people make it out to be if you just want standard games with no online game-play then the console is great until your first break down, if you want online Game-play then it will cost roughly a total of £265 almost £100 more than the price it sells for, and if you do not buy a bundle you may need to add a couple of more pounds to the price so you have a Decent game to play.

Summary: Does it really cost £170
