Title of review Excellent Product
What are the strengths? I got a great deal for my Xbox 360 at www.thefreescene.co.uk basically 100% Free!

The console is absolutely phenomenal! The graphics are superb and the gameplay is just something else. In terms of games, my personal recommendations are The Darkness and Gears of War. This console is a must-have, especially for the upcoming Halo 3!
What are the weaknesses? Its price. Get a decent deal at www.thefreescene.co.uk for basically nothing! The new craze in the UK and USA
Summary If you like video games and want to play the much-anticipated Halo 3 and Grand Theft Auto 4 then you need an Xbox 360.

Title of review Xbox 360 Vs. PS3
What are the strengths? The Xbox 360 is a truly amazing console in my opinion the best gaming console on the market, not only is it great to play it has the best selection of games out of the next gen consoles. The game play is outstanding the controller is great almost every thing is perfect about this console. It is worth every penny even more so now there coming with a hdmi port for a better overall gaming package. And the xbox live marketplace is unbeatable with movies on demand music videos game trailers game demos all you could want and more right out of the box.
What are the weaknesses? The xbox 360 has very few weaknesses but they are weaknesses that make you stop and think. The first and worst problem they have is that there not very reliable they break down crash and over heat but if you can look past this problem and focus on the good there truly isn't a better console out there for you. and the last thing that some people don't like is that you have to pay to play online and access the XBox marketplace.

Title of review X-360 premium pack
What are the strengths? Easy machine code for games developers to get most out of the hardware,better graphics compared to PS3 releases out now and forthcoming titles being released for both platforms,over next 6-9 months
What are the weaknesses? No HDMI connection,no HD/DVD / BLUERAY player,limited HDD capacity.Insufficient cooling
Summary The only reason why i am not recommending this product is for the simple fact, the new black X-BOX 360 will be released in the U.K shortly,giving you a 120 gig HDD, an upgrade to HD DVD player and also an all important HDMI lead for 1080p output.

Title of review Microsoft Xbox 360 Premium
What are the strengths? The obvious strenghts of the system are the next-generation graphical capabilites. Also, Microsoft has deemed this as the "HD-ERA", so the Xbox 360 is fully compliant with 720p/1080i HD resolutions. So if you have an HDTV you will benefit from the improved color and resolution. There is also a seamless transition through Xbox Live, which is the online component of the Xbox 360. It's very easy to add new friends or to join your friend in a game.
What are the weaknesses? Since the system is new, developers are still getting used to the power. So the systems full capabilities have not been tapped yet, as a result, some games don't look as good as other games. But as developers get used to the system, the graphics will start to improve.
Summary All in all, the Xbox 360 is an excellent console for next-generation gaming. With HD quality graphics and excellent online play, I highly recommend the Xbox 360.
