Amazon.com Product Description
| Xbox 360 sets a new pace for digital entertainment. More than just a cutting-edge game system, Xbox 360 also integrates high-definition video, DVD movie playback, digital music, photos, and online connectivity into one sleek, small tower. Under the Hood
 | | Xbox 360, shown with wireless controller, is a sleek, customizable gaming and entertainment system | Xbox 360 is much smaller than its predecessor--it measures approximately 3.3 by 12.2 by 10.2 inches and weighs 7.7 lbs. It's powered by custom IBM PowerPC-based CPU with three symmetrical cores each running at 3.2 GHz. It also carries a custom ATI graphics processor 10 MB of embedded DRAM. This is powerful enough to draw 500 million triangles per second. In other words, it makes for great looking games in standard TV definition, and even better thanks to built-in support for HDTV 1080i televisions. It also supports the widescreen 16:9 format. The unit has a 12x dual-layer DVD-ROM drive, which plays both the game media and progressive-scan DVD movies right out of the box. For game-save and media storage this console package includes a 120GB hard drive. Along with storing files, the hard drive will make the Xbox 360 backward-compatible with part of the existing Xbox game library. Control your Gameplay
Xbox 360 uses a refined button layout for its controllers. Back and Start buttons sit at the center of the controller and between them is a new Xbox Guide button, which instantly takes the user to the Xbox 360 user interface. From there, they can check for friends online, access personal digital content like photos and songs, and more. The black and white buttons of the first Xbox controllers have been replaced with new shoulder buttons placed above the left and right triggers. Xbox 360 can accommodate up to four wireless controllers and has three USB 2.0 slots to use for wired controllers or for streaming your digital media from digital cameras, MP3 players, and any Windows XP-based PC. Microsoft has also created a video-conferencing camera, sold separately, that will work with the system.  | | Xbox 360 shown with the ultimate gaming package | The Media Experience
All Xbox 360 titles can be played in either standard or high-definition resolution in 16:9 widescreen, with anti-aliasing for smoother graphics. Game designers will be able to take advantage of the system's multi-channel surround sound. The Xbox 360's digital media allows users to supplement any game's music from tracks in their own personal library. 
Go Live
A built-in Ethernet port allows users to connect their system to a broadband connection for access to the new Xbox Live Silver. The included service lets anyone create a Gamertag and gamer card to express your online identity, chat live with voice chat, and connect to the Xbox Live Marketplace to buy expansions, maps, and other digital items for your games. The subscription service Xbox Live Gold adds to that online competition, game stats, and video chat/messaging. The separately sold wireless adapter supports the common 802.11a, -b, and -g standards.

 Great deal for first time Xbox buyers! December 5, 2008

I've been waiting and waiting to buy a 360 until this holiday season in hopes that the package was good. Unfortunately I'm stuck with Kung Fu Panda, and Lego Indiana Jones. While they are fun, I much would have rather had Forza 2 and Marvell:UA. However, I did buy it on the Monday of Thanksgiving and got The Last Remnant and a 4000pt Xbox card with it from Amazon. Great Deal!!
If you are trying to decide which Xbox 360 system to buy, there are a couple things to consider: Hard Drive, connectivity, and network.
For me, new owner, the first thing was the large 120gb HDD. I'm a moderately hardcore gamer, and don't want to have to think twice about space left on my hard drive. However, now there is the 60gb version which should be great for most people. But if you look at the price of the 120gb HDD alone ($150), the Elite is a much better deal.
The HDMI output was the second major deciding factor for me as I wanted the best possible picture from my games and movies. Plus my TV has more HDMI ports than component cable connections.
Also, right now the Xbox Live network is by far the strongest online gaming network. The others might and probably will catch up in the future, but right now Xbox live is the top online gaming network. So being able to play online with family and friends right now was important. Not many people have a PS3, which means that A: play games offline, or online by yourself; or B: make new online friends in a small gaming network. I chose the Xbox.
As a side note: I assumed that since the new chips, Jasper, have been around for a month that the new holiday bundles would have had them, but they didn't. Mine was manufactured in April, which is the Falcon.
If you are unsure about the Elite compared to the 60gb Pro, compare your choices here:

Enjoy your new Xbox360!!

I just received my X-box. It was an upgrade from the old x-box I have and still have it. I played the X-box 360 for one day,ONE DAY and already had the 3 red ring of death, WTF!!!! I should bought the playstation 3. The old X-box is still going strong.
 Here is my little ditty regarding Microsoft's "World Class Service". February 15, 2009

To whom it my concern:
My original console, serial number (004194371107), was sent for repair and was in flawless condition, other than the "Three Red Light" problem. The replacement console, serial number (010497771207), was sent to me in a condition that was not what I expected:
"Upon receiving the 360 after MS "repaired" the RRoD problem it wobbled front-to-back and left-to-right severely. In addition the power supply port was not aligned with the case opening. I contacted MS customer support and shipped the console back in order to correct those problems. The console was shipped back to me with the exact same problems. Contacted MS customer support and sent the console in a third time to correct the previously mentioned problems. Once again, the console was shipped to me with additional problems. This time it had a missing USB cover and a slight wobble; I was going to live with the wobble till I saw the missing USB cover. Sent the console in again to correct the missing USB cover problem and received it back, once again, with a missing USB cover".
I would respectfully like to ask for a replacement console, excluding serial number (010497771207), that is in the same condition that my original console was in, which was flawless.
Sincerely,
Wade
This has been an ongoing problem since December, over two months and counting. Microsoft's short sightedness will affect their bottom line in the future. I have three kids, all boys, and we currently have two Live accounts and planed on purchasing two additional accounts-my second oldest kid was promised a live account for his B-Day. My two oldest kids have Zune's and I was planning to purchase one in the near future. That's all changed since dealing with MS Xbox customer support...at this point I'm contemplating the closing of all Live accounts and not purchasing Xbox/Zune "anything" in the future. In addition, I might sell all of my "360" hardware and software and switch to Linux or nurse my XP OS as longs as I can. Again, the problems MS faces are with its future. My three boys' will grow up without any MS products in their home and will hear of the horror stories related in dealing with MS products and the related MS customer service.

Background: I bought the XBox Elite as a Christmas present for myself and got a great deal through Amazon (in the end I paid less than I would for a Used Wii). It takes me a while to get through games and I own a lot of open world/sandbox games so that means they'll pile up. I have a Playstation 2 and there are still a few games I'm playing for that system, but a majority of my time lately has been on the XBox.
Review: Currently I've played one Original Xbox game, three 360 games and I'm currently on my fourth and fifth. The Original Xbox game was Fable: The Lost Chapters and it was great. I wish I could have had the option to install it to the hard drive as the load times drove me crazy. Also, after a few weeks, the game would lock up at least once per play through and I would have to start over from my last save. No discernible reason for it, it just got stuck (most of the time in Oakvale, other times after a couple hours, once or twice after only a few minutes). I enjoyed the game, but one would think the 360 would have been able to run the original games better.
The 360 games were as follows: Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga, which I had played individually on the PS2 and enjoyed the improved graphics and new content. The Simpsons Game, which was a fun game and a great fit for the show. And Dead Rising, which I bought because of the "use anything as a weapon", but was apprehensive about playing because I don't normally play that kind of genre. That game was also a lot of fun and I even managed to unlock the MegaBlaster...after four hours of driving back and forth in the parking garage. Currently, I'm playing Burnout Paradise and Crackdown and jumping over buildings in both. Whee! Surprisingly I haven't come across a game (except Fable) that warrants an install on the hard drive as the load times aren't that big a deal.
After playing those games, I feel ready to review this system. The system is well-rounded with a lot of games in store and online (Oh, yeah. I also bought Monkey Island through their arcade and played that. Love that series.). I can play my own soundtrack during games with music that I downloaded to my hard drive. I enjoy the Xbox Marketplace where I can see all the game trailers and play demos of games before I buy them. The achievements are a nice bonus that I've (so far) been able to resist the urge to go crazy with. There has been no red ring to make me cry yet so I don't have that problem influencing my review. And finally, I have spent many hours making Data DVDs with all my video files as they play on my Xbox! How cool is that.
This is a great system and definitely one I'd recommend. I'll get a Wii and PS3 slim eventually (and hang on to my PS2), but so far there are only three or four games out that I want so I can wait. Microsoft did a great job on this console and I'm glad I went with theirs first. However, if I eventually get that red ring, be on the lookout for my follow-up review with lots of grammatical and spelling errors where I claim Microsoft dropped the ball and all hail the SonY. :P

I was fortunate enough to get this holiday bundle for even cheaper than its already reasonable sticker price--I got it from the Amazon Warehouse deals section. From what I understand, they offer discounts on products that have some sort of damage to the box etc, in this case I got seventy dollars off because the box supposedly "had a crushed corner". Oddly enough, when I received the bundle in the mail, the box looked mostly fine--it just had a few creases on one of the corners, which I probably wouldn't even have noticed had I not been looking for it.
On the inside, all of the components were in perfect condition. I hooked everything up to my new 40" Samsung 1080p hdtv, and it all worked as expected. There are several different cables that came with the system, though I am only using the HDMI cable. I'd be lying if I said that I didn't really care about the games and just got this bundle because it was so greatly discounted, but the Lego Indiana Jones game is actually really fun--even for someone approaching thirty. I haven't tried out the Kung Fu Panda game as of yet, but the system and the Lego Indiana Jones game were well worth the price by themselves.
Overall, the system is great--they did much better this time around when compared to the original Xbox. There are tons of great games, and you can download all kinds of demos, stream Netflix movies, and harass your friends online. I do have a few qualms though, which are mostly related to the greediness that I perceive Microsoft to have. I was really excited about the fact that the Wii had a built in wireless networking card (though the online options for that system are scant at best). Nonetheless, I thought that it was a great move, particularly having grown up in the time of the original Nintendo that came packaged with a few controllers, a light gun, the system, all of the necessary cables and a couple of games. That was awesome, just to be able to get the basic package and have an awesome time with it out of the box without having to drop a few hundred dollars more. While this bundle aimed to do this to a degree, it fell short in a few other ways: I had to drop $90 on a wireless network adapter, another $36 on a second controller, $40 on an Xbox Live membership, etc. Sure, I'm a big boy, and I make enough money to buy my own toys now, but I had to spend more than $150 beyond the cost of this bundle just to be able to play with friends (both locally and remotely). So, I deducted one star from my review because the extra expense--along with the terrible quality of the headset, which was another $30 to rectify--kept this bundle from being totally perfect.
All the same, this is a great system and I got it at a phenomenal price. My advice if you are on the fence between the elite and the lesser versions is to spring for the extra cash because I would have filled anything less than the 120gb hard drive up almost immediately after downloading just a few demos.
