 Great System, No Problems With Heat For Me November 19, 2009
Siklootd (Santa Fe, NM)
I've always wanted an Xbox 360, ever since the very night it was released. Seeing people standing in line, anticipating the release of the first console to jumpstart the next generation of gaming got me excited. However, several weeks and months after the release of the console I began to hear dreaded stories of almost everyone's console failing on them. I held off on purchasing an Xbox 360 due to these drastic claims. I instead waited and got a PS3 a couple of weeks after Sony launched them. I loved the hours I got out of my PlayStation 3, and the games to choose from were excellent, so were the graphics. After I began to see some really interesting looking games come out exclusively on the 360 (Left 4 Dead, Gears of War, Mass Effect, etc.) my craving to finally purchase one overcame me. I decided to purchase an Xbox 360 after doing more research on the RRoD issue that plagued earlier consoles. I learned that Microsoft has been gradually attempting to completely solve the problem by changing the size of the CPU and GPU with each new remodel they released. The company also began to shrink the power supply voltage in attempts to decrease the overall heat output of the console. So, after learning all of this I went out and purchased an Xbox 360 Arcade. I made sure to look for all of the indicators that point to having the newest chipset, codenamed "Jasper". After purchasing it, and taking it home, I saw the 150w power supply that went along perfectly with the numbers on the back of the console to verify that I had indeed got a Jasper. After playing the console for several hours, and then pressing my hand against the vents that dissipate the hot internal air, I actually discovered that this newer model actually remains cooler than even my PS3 does. A shocking discovery for me. Even if I get a hardware failure, I can still see myself purchasing another console immediately afterward simply because of the extensive library and features that the console contains. Now I use my Xbox 360 on a daily basis, and the large selection of games that I still wish to purchase continues to grow. My PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 both get an equal amount of playing time, and sometimes it's hard to decide which one to play since they are both excellent consoles with their own great lineups of exclusives. I'd recommend the 360 to anyone looking for a next generation console since it has the widest variety of games out of the three currently on the market. My only complaint about the console is the d-pad on the controller. The d-pad is designed exactly like the one used on the Sega Genesis. It features all four directions connected as one solid button, whereas other consoles usually have each direction of the d-pad separated from the rest of the directions. This is a minor inconvenience and can be overlooked since the games are still 100% playable with the d-pad, I just wish it was designed different. I've been loving the hours of playtime I've received from this console, I just wish I had purchased an Xbox 360 earlier is all!

I have gone through 2 360s... both of them have RROD on me... buy PS3 instead, much lower failure rate. Your 360 will fail, it is a fact within less than a year.
great value November 16, 2009

I wanted a Xbox 360 for a decent price and didn't need much hard drive space- works great so far and looks much nicer than its clunkier predecessor. It doesn't get hot either, even after hours of playing at a stretch. I wish I waited a week later when Amazon had its lightning deal offering a $100 gift certificate, but I don't regret this purchase at all. My family had a great time playing at our last get together.
 $50/yr for online play? November 14, 2009

The Arcade is very cheap, but then you have to buy a wireless antenna ($100), pay $50/yr for online play and online netflix movie playback. Then, some games like Burnout require the hard drive, so you have to pay for that upgrade. In the end, the xbox is a trap because online play is something you will eventually want to do and if you pay $50/yr, this is the most expensive console in the long run. There are also durability issues, which many early xbox 360 had and this device is so big, noisy, and the white color just doesn't fit with other gray and black devices you have next to the TV. Also, the resale value of these consoles drops pretty fast. The system gets extremely warm, specially after hours of playing. The positive aspect is that the graphics keep up very well despite it was released in 2005.
