Not biest to systems!!! Like them all, but 360 i play the most.
this is by far the best system out as far as access, online, price, and games. but i cant leave out the all to popular RROD (RED RING OF DEATH)
which has befallen all but two of my 360s to date. dont let that drive you away from buying one. microsoft has a great warrenty on it. turn it in they fix it and send it back. i just bought several so when one goes out i send it in and play the other while its gitting fixed. i know not everybody can buy more than xbox 360, but it only takes a few weeks for microsoft to send it back good as new. there is also some do-it-yourself books on how to fix the RROD in 1 hour. dont fret, you will be playing for a long time before your system goes out. just dont let it get to hot and you will be playing for at the least 1 year before the RROD will hit you. xbox live is a masterpeace of modern network comunication, just jump right in and play. SEE YOU ONLINE.

Great Gaming experience
I just purchased the Xbox 360 Pro. I do not consider myself an expert gamer, however, I have enjoyed the Halo series which is why I picked up the 360. It was delivered quicker than estimated, arrived in perfect condition and I had it up and running in about 20 minutes. The picture clarity and game action is great, it is definitely a step up from the Xbox.

It does not satisfy my needs
Okay so we own all three of the new consoles, and this one hardly ever gets used. I mean I guess if you're a teenage boy and a hardcore gamer then I would say you might like it. Plus this was the most expensive system. It was $350 for the system, $75 for the wi fi, $50 for Xbox Live (per year), I think it was like $80 for the HD DVD add on and it only has a 20GB hard drive what gives with that? Plus the HD DVD add on is useless now. The fun you get out of this system does not justify the cost of it. When I was researching this on the internet I would always read about how it has the most games, to be honest it does have the most games but it also has the worst games I've ever played. Most of the games for the Xbox 360 are first shooter games and I hate those. Plus I hate having to worry about getting the RROD every time I turn it on. It also gets extremely hot. My Wii and PS3 never get as hot as the 360. I'm sorry, but I cannot recommend this console to others.

Great gaming system
If you're looking to play online multiplayer games, buy the 360. Xbox Live is far beyond anything Sony and Nintendo have at the moment.

As for hardware issues, I've had my 360 since Nov. 2006, and it's been solid as a rock. I've shipped it, moved it, even dropped it. Maybe I'm just lucky, but don't pay attention to the 1 star naysayers. The 360 has the best collection of games of all the current systems. I feel like the controller is better than the PS3's (something that should not be overlooked).

Not so Great...
I should have believed the bad reviews of this console. Now I'm paying for it. I recently decided to purchase a 360 due to the fact that the other consoles didn't have games that I wanted. PS3 games, I think their still working on it and Wii, if I'm 7 I'd might enjoy them. But 360 had Crackdown, Dead Rising, Bioshock, etc.
So I finally got it and yes it is fairly easy to install and off I go. Bought Crackdown and it worked great. I was loving every minute of this GTA rip off. I can't believe how fun it was. After three weeks, I just could take it anymore. I had to know how that zombie filled mall was going to be. It was good, wished I had more weapons. But something happened.
The game didn't worked right after a week. I looked at it and found scratches. Just having bought the item, I returned it and got another one. No scratches this time. I logged on and the infamous tech thing happened. The event that made so bittered from all you fanboys how preached about how great this console is. 3 freaking rings! Are you kidding me. I didn't buy this at launch. Why?! Why?! is it to impossible for them to make their console work. I followed the rules. It's on top of a well ventilated area, not dust and never move it when it's on. All that and nothing be three red rings, a call and a box to mail it into. I hate fanboys and I hate this waiting. Great I bought new games for a relatively new console and now I'm waiting like the launch victims were.
