Advantages: fantastic graphics, great choice of games,

Disadvantages: hardware failure may happen regularly

The XBOX 360 is one of the best consoles on the Market as it features great games which are exclusive to the system. The 360 has tons of add-ons and for me the core system I regret buying cause the add-ons cost way to much. I needed a memory card to save my games which I bought a hard drive later on costing about £69.99 a bit way over the top.

The 360 looks a whole lot better then the original XBOX I though that was just too ugly though XBOX crystal system looked better then the black version. The controller is the same as the original XBOX one just the the buttons at the side are gone. The 360 controller the wired one is also great as you can use it as a PC controller as it uses a USB port.

XBOX is great for such games as Fable, Kameo Elements of Power, Dead or Alive (which is one of the main reasons I bought the 360), Dead Rising. Even other titles such as Gears of War, Halo which are all great to the 360 and will make you buy the system. XBOX live has many games to be able to play over the network where you can download demos, classic games, and yeah play online of course which you have to pay for (I don't have my XBOX online).

People in the reviews say how great this console is but they hardly say the hardware failure the Red Ring of Death. In the first place with Microsoft should have tested the system better which is really big let down on their company. The big part is getting the machine fixed it can take so long even up to three months which is just to annoying. As for buying an add-on fan to try and cool the system down I have seen the 360 melt them.

The 360 has some of the best graphics I have seen most games have a whole load of detail in the games. Which this was the first console to have HD so you can see every game in it's pure greatness. The 360 sure does have a great line up of games hitting the system and I for one will be checking out Fable 2.

The 360 will play XBOX 1 games but you will need to download the updates from the XBOX website and put them on disc. This will not allow you to play all XBOX 1 games only certain titles which is a bit annoying.

No doubt the XBOX 360 is a great console but just do not overplay it for long periods or you maybe seeing the Red Ring of Death. I would not say the 360 is the best console I prefer the Wii more mostly due to the control system makes the game more fun (but thats just me). I don't really need to give you more the other reviewers really summed it up for you.

Summary: Good console would be better if Microsoft had the problems sorted out before releasing it
