Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite System

Reviewed by: ayabrea

Duration of ownership: 5 Days

Strengths: Xbox interface is very userfriendly Impressive hard disk for a console Good chances that all the wires you need are included in the bundle

Weaknesses: Does not feature a black finish like everybody say but more a dark gray or «graphite» color. The heat at the back of the console allow the user to bake an egg while playing. Useful for hardcore gamers. Still not featuring a built in 802.11g adapter in 2007. You have to pay 129.99 CAN$ to have it while even a Nintendo DS features it. Finally, it's very noisy so you will not want to spend more money to buy an external white hd-dvd reader to watch hd movies with it.

Overall Evaluation: First time buyers should more look at the Premium bundle even if they plan to use it as a hd media center. For those who already own a legacy 360, just buy the hard disk if you only need more room (209 CAN$) Finally, if you plan something trully adapted for hd movies and more, look at the PS3 with Blue Ray included, Hdmi 1.3 included, wireless connectivity included and much more.
