Microsoft has revealed its new console, the Xbox 360. As can be seen from the picture opposite, the console is smaller, curvy and more stylish than the console before it, with the addition of being able to stand vertically or horizontally.

The Powerful Xbox 360 Games Console The Xbox 360 is the ultimate games console, a sleek, stylish design houses powerful technologies and a host of interactive entertainment options. The Xbox 360 delivers next generation gaming. Highly advanced A.I.

The reason for the title of this review is that I have had many ups and downs with my console, this is a review of the premium console which is the same as the arcade version but this one had more extra goodies along with it and a bigger hard drive for game saves. Up - Making The Purchase.

It has a load of games available at various prices

This design has been prone to failures due to long term use

I have ovwned the box several years ago now and couldnt wait to start playing! I got call of duty 3 and after introducing my brother to it, I convinced him that he should follow suit and get one. His birthday came and he sure got one.

"its awesome great graphics

"yearly fee needs to be paid; "high price

recieved this and straight from the box, put batteries in (which are provided) press a button on the xbox and the controller at the same time, and thats it. My seven year old figured it out and played straight away. Great.

Quality Construction; Online Play; Great Value

Product arrived today, in great working order, very pleased, communication was spot on for answering my questions an also very helpful for re arranging delivery as i missed it twice, thanks so much !!

I have seen the adverts of this game, amazing bad news tho you need a kinect on your xbox 360, light sabers don't be better than this or that for a matter of fact.

Graphics; Quality Construction

I have had one now for about 6 months and it is really good as I got it with my 250gb xbox and it simply plugged into the socket in the back of the xbox with the orange bar on it.

Tracks you quick; better than the old xbox camera; good if you like dance games

Expensive; you need a lot of space (e.g big bedroom or lounge); can sometimes glitch; voice control isn't that great

a good console for the money you pay the fan sounds like it cost 10p and at is quite likely that it will get the red rings of death. (get a ps3, they are better)

Its a cheap alternative to a ps3; live is good

not as good as a ps3; graphics can't touch the ps3's

I used to have a 360 but I traded it in for a PS3. 360s dont have wi-fi for online players unless you buy the 360 slim. But i bought a PS3 because they have wi-fi and free online unlike XBOX Live you have to pay. But the Elite is still pretty good.
