Microsoft Xbox 360 (60GB, HDMI)

Superior selection of games, including several console-exclusive titles; all games in high-definition; easy-to-use Dashboard interface; excellent online gaming and communications via Xbox Live; plays hundreds of (but not all) original Xbox titles; doubles...

No support for next-generation HD discs, like Blu-ray; early versions of the console prone to "red ring of death" system crash; online gaming require a paid subscription to Xbox Live.

Now that Blu-ray has become the pre-eminent high-definition standard for discs, the Xbox 360 has yet to support it, but it still remains an excellent game console with a superior game library and online experience.

Microsoft has come up with an upgrade to its Xbox 360, less than 18 months after its initial launch. The Xbox 360 Elite is black instead of white, includes a 120GB hard drive and sports an HDMI output for easier and better quality connection to HD Ready T...

Excellent selection of games; HDMI port; large hard drive

Noisy DVD drive and cooling fan; gigantic power supply; no built-in wireless networking; no built in HD DVD drive

If you're buying a new 360, get an Elite - simple as that. If you've already got one, this is pretty much a cosmetic upgrade - but you might want to look into getting the separate 120GB hard drive when it comes out...

Better value than Premium. Big hard drive. New HDMI connection. Smart paint job

Premium is getting an HDMI connection too. Doesn't include HD-DVD drive

It certainly justifies the extra £60 on the price tag. If you still haven't plumped for one side in the PS3, Xbox and Wii War, you'd be bonkers to go for a non-Elite Xbox

This is an absolute MUST for everyone looking to get a new console! ...BUT, the price is a little to high in my opinion, I never would have got one if I never got mine for FREE!. Luckily a friend recommended this website to me before I went and bought one...

Powerful Graphics, Xbox LIVE online play, wireless controllers, microsoft warranty, great games!

It's a bit pricey!
