Fantastic Console - Still Reliability Problems
Date of Review: Jul 1, 2009
I bought an Xbox 360 Elite in June 08, and I have to say that in terms of game variety, graphics and online gameplay and downloads, it does not dissapoint.
I've enjoyed playing games such as GTA IV, Bioshock, Call of Duty and Halo 3 with most games being played to their full potential with xbox live.
The 120GB hard drive is a good investment too, especially as the new xbox update has arrived allowing games to be stored directly on the memory which improves loading times and reduces the noise of the disc drive.
The disc drive itself is noisy when compared to the Wii or Playstation 3 when spinning an xbox 360 disc, but it's not something particularly noticeable when actually playing a game.
The main negative for the console, which many, many people have been having problems with, is the console's reliability. After 5 1/2 months when I went to switch on my xbox it kept flashing 1 red light, saying it had a system error and that I needed to contact xbox customer support. I know about 7 people directly who have an xbox and 6 of them have had at least one problem which has rendered the console useless. I also know a gamer online who states that, "My xbox used to crash once a week, now it crashes every 15 minutes."
