REVIEW
If only the hadn't rushed it. I bought my xbox 360 on launch day. It ran fine with no problems for about 14 months and then I fell victim to the dreaded red ring of death (RROD). But, I called Microsoft's support and had a replacement unit in about two weeks. The Xbox 360 is definitely the most fun for me of all the next gen consoles and it has a massive library of quality titles.
The newer 360's have improved greatly as far as the RROD issues go. Is the RROD eliminated completely? I doubt it, but it's close. Additionally Microsoft has a 3 year warranty in place to cover you should you haveany problems of that nature.
The 360 has great games like Gears of war, Halo 3, Call of duty 4, Bioshock and many others. And the Xbox live (XBL) community is by far the best online service of the 3 next gen consoles and is well worth the 50 dollars per year or 13 cents per day depending on how you want to look at it. XBL is rich with content from movie, music video, television show, and game downloads to online chat with and without video (If you have the vision cam accessory) It also has a built in MSN interface for chatting with friends on PC, and Pocket PCs, and connects directly to any Microsoft Mediacenter PC you may have in you house for playing movies, looking at photos, or listening to music.
The 360 display/graphics are very high quality and supports 480p - 1080p on most if not all titles. The controllers have a very nice ergonomic design and fits well in my hands and are never awkward.
I would definitely recommend the xbox 360 for anyone looking to buy one.
It's difficult for me to make a recommendation for either the 360 or the PS3 over one another as they are bothgreat consoles. I would give the PS3 the advantage based on past reliability and blu-ray video capability.
But, I give the 360 the advantage in games library, shear fun and online service.
If I would make a recommendation, I would say get one of them (Either one) and then follow up very soon by buying the other. Because there are great games out there for both consoles and other games coming out that are only available on one or the other. Get them both.

The xbox360 In the history of video games, this is the only console tha burn itself, the three red lights appeared just becouse... 450$ lost in a xbox360 console and the additional control. I'm very far away so i don't have the opportunity to change it or something.
Just for that the xbox360 its the worst video game console ever. Add a Review
