Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite

By John P. Falcone (zdnet.com)

Xbox 360 EliteThe Xbox 360 was the first of the "next-gen" videogame consoles to hit the market in the fall of 2005. By the time the PlayStation 3 and the Nintendo Wii hit stores--a full year later--the 360 had not only established itself as a top ...

Excellent selection of games, including many 360-only exclusives ; all games are in native high-definition ; user-friendly Dashboard interface ; supports wireless controllers and accessories ; Xbox Live service offers online multiplayer (with ...

The Elite fails to correct most of the annoyances of the original 360 version: the noisy DVD drive and cooling fan ; a gigantic, oversize power supply ; no built-in wireless networking ; only three USB ports ; a substandard DVD player ; support for ...

While it's neither a must-have upgrade for existing 360 owners nor as feature-packed as the PS3, the Xbox 360 Elite's combination of top-notch gaming and digital media features make it the current game console of choice.

"Want to move from PS3 for Natal but specs disappoint!"

By tecmic (cnet.com)

I want to be able to use Natal when available... 

Processor and graphics performance ok and a 120Gb HDD is good! I like the optical connection for sound systems

No integrated WiFi ! No integrated Blu-ray drive! HDMI connection only 1.2 I'll stay with the PS3 until Microsoft wake up

"Xbox Live is Great..... Xbox 360 is terrible!"

By knucklez02 (cnet.com)

I own all consoles (360, PS3, Wii, NDS, PSP) ... 

Xbox live keeps you in touch with all your friends and offers netflix streaming on to the TV. Controllers are comfortable. New 360's come with HDMI support

Hardware failure! 70% are unfixable and need to be sent in to Microsoft. DVD-Drive is loud and obnoxious. Fans are loud as well. Hard drive can only be upgraded to one of their own. Costs another $100 for the wifi adapter. Does not support Blu-Ray
