I'm on my forth box because of overheating and i find it annoying that they are still selling these consoles fully aware that there is a major design fault that causes the 360 to fail at an alarming rate. when this one finally dies on me I'll buy a ps3, you should too

When i got my xbox 360 i though its gonna be a good console but not as good as the ps3 but when i played the ps3 with my friend i could see why manny people fell in love with the 360 and that's because (1st) - Its cheaper (2nd) - It has more game's that the ps3 (3rd) - The playsation is big and heavy (4th) - If you dont the 360, Wii allways come'ss in 2nd choose as its cheap 6th - the 360 has a better online gaming than the ps3 (5th) - most of the best games in the ps3 are in the 360 aswell e.g Devil May Cry 4 and Gta4

This console is very much like the playstation3. I would recommend buying this instead of the playstation3 because it's much cheaper and the graphics are nearly exactly the same.

the 360 is a great gaming platform, i have had nearly every console that has been released and as the 360 goes it has everything in its favour. With great graphics and great sound, and some great games and its online ability i find at the momement it is the best console so far and it will take some beating

Great system if you can get the games! PGR3 excellent, Perfect Dark not so. Oblivion great but £50 for a game this is robbery, Oblivion Xbox 360 - £49.99
Oblivion PC - &29.99
Think that lack of real original titles rather than crappy sequels is putting a lot of people off, and the real hardware challenging titles are
a long way off (compare GTA3 to San Andreas for example)
This console is the best on the market but I can't help but feel Microsoft are treading water and are losing their huge time advantage to Sony.
