It's amazing to think that a few college friends about 30 years ago could have ever known then the impact they would have had on the world today.Hats off to Microsoft on this truely amazing peice of technology. xbox 360 deserves 2 thumbs up and more if I had them. Well done Microsoft.
I'd give this a 5 star if it had more kid friendly games, but the lack of things for my 5 year old forced me to buy a Nintendo Wii.Graphics are great, and games are plentiful. Lots of choices, and when you get into the Xbox live system and can buy other things like some of the retro games like Centipede, Robotron, Frogger, etc, just makes it even more versatile. I do use a Media Center PC (used Xbox with both the XP and Vista version of it) so I can use the Xbox to watch live TV over my network, listen to all my music, watch my video files, etc. Great way to get my satellites into another room without having to run cable.
It cost me an extra [.]. Everything came with the product that was mentioned in the description. I received the xbox360 in 4-5 business days, so the delivery was very quick. in shipping to send it back to the seller. When I got my xbox360 I played it for a couple hours the first day. The next day I tried to play the game again and a error message came up stating "epuipment system malfunction." Needless to say I had to return the product for a new one. I recevied a replacement in a few days and this one seems up to par. Overall the service is great, just a little frustrated that I had to spend extra money on a faulty system in the beginning, but knowing the circumstances of the return policy.
The x-box 360 works great and they mail overseas which is nice for us troops.
I WANT TO SMASH THE THING AT THIS POINT. ONCE UPON A TIME I WAS AN EXCLUSIVE SONY FANBOY, EVER SINCE A LITTLE GAME CALLED FINAL FANTASY 7 WAS RELEASED. SO I TRY NOT TO PANIC, CALLED INDIA AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE REP WAS VERY UNHELPFUL BECAUSE OF THE LANGUAGE BARRIER AND THE VAGUE FEELING OF UNEASE THAT THIS TIME THINGS WILL NOT TURN OUT LIKE THE LAST. THEN FINALLY JUMPED OVER TO X-BOX WHEN THE MASTER CHIEF HAD HIS SECOND ADVENTURE. RED RING OF DEATH, AGAIN. I IMMEDIATLY PURCHASED ANOTHER CONSOLE AND IN FACT ALSO BOUGHT A 52" DLP T.V JUST TO PLAY IT LIKE IT WAS MEANT TO BE PLAYED. SENT MY "BOX" OFF, RECIEVED ANOTHER ONE NO FUSS AND LIFE WAS GOOD.
AND LIFE WAS GOOD. THAT WAS UNTIL I PLAYED GEARS OF WAR LATE LAST SUMMER OF '07. UNTIL 4 MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD, I JUST GOT HALO 3 AND BAM. I WAS SO FRUSTRATED BY THE TIME I GOT OFF THE PHONE I WAS REALLY GOING TO SMASH MY 360 AND JUST BUY A PLAYSTATION AND BE DONE WITH IT.
I LOVE THE CONSOLE OR SHOULD I SAY THE GAMES THAT ARE REALEASED FOR THIS CONSOLE, HOWEVER, THE HARDWARE AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT ARE TOTALLY HORRIBLE. LIFE HAS BEEN REALLY REALLY GOOD WITH GAMES LIKE MASS EFFECT, ASSAIN'S CREED, COD 4, BIOSHCOK, AND RECENTLY GEARS OF WAR 2 AND FALLOUT 3, JUST TO NAME A FEW. UNTIL YESTERDAY, I JUST FINISHED DOWNLOADING THE NEW XBOX INTERFACE THING WHEN SUDDENLY BAM. IT WAS LIKE BEING IN A VERY GOOD RELATIONSHIP AND FOUND OUT YOU WERE GETTING CHEATED ON NOT ONCE BUT TWICE. I CROSSED MY FINGERS AND HOPED FOR THE BEST AS I CALLED MICROSOFT, OF COURSE THESE DAYS ALL CALL CENTERS ARE OUT SOURCED IN INDIA OR SOMEWHERE. HE GIVES ME THE SERVICE REQUEST NUMBER AND TELLS ME TO CALL BACK TOMORROW BECAUSE OF SOME TECHNICAL PROBLEMS THEY WERE HAVING IN THEIR SYSTEM (HOW IRONIC NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT). WHEN THE 360 WAS RELEASED I PURCHASED IT AND SOLD IT WITHIN A WEEK BECAUSE AT THE TIME A $400 HUNDRED DOLLAR UPGRADE THAT ONLY MADE GAMES LOOK MORE SHINY (G.R.A.W AND FULL AUTO) WAS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THE REP TELLS ME THAT MY 'BOX IS REGISTERED UNDER SOMEONE ELSE'S NAME AND THAT MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED.
RED RING OF DEATH. THEY ACTUALLY MANAGED TO HELP ME OUT, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP SAID THAT MY WARRANTY WILL BE EXTENDED FOR ANOTHER 3 YEARS AND THAT THEY WERE GOING TO SEND ME A BOX TO SHIP MY "BOX" IN. BUT HE WAS STILL GOING TO PUT IN THE SERVICE REQUEST. SO ANYONE CONSIDERING PURCHASING AN X-BOX 360 "USED" BE AWARE THAT THERE IS A VERY HIGH PROBABILITY OF THE RED RING OCCURENCE, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET IT REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, THIS IS MY SECOND R.O.D AND BROTHER HAS HAD A COUPLE AS WELL.
