Better than PC arms race!

Xbox 360 - Console with 20GB HDD & Wireless Controller (Console)

Customer Review

Xbox 360 I have gained about 2 months ago because my permanent arms race in the PC area was way too expensive. Must spend 2000 euros for NEN new PC basically every 2 years to play games in good graphics you always liquid. Since I buy rather every 3 to 4 years old ne new console for 400 euros. XBox appearing to the next year in the first place I wanted to play GTA IV fluid. A suitable PC would have cost 2000 euros, so the XBox was the better alternative. Now, I realize, but more and more like a lot of really good games there for the Xbox 360 and I can only say that was absolutely worth it, because at the price you get in the PC area never even comparable high-performance systems and no games manufacturers is 3 to 4 years long optimize their games for the same standard PC. The graphics in the XBox 360 games is breathtaking. As a PC player I did not have to come concerns with the sticks of the controller clear, but you get used to pretty quickly.

Negative one can only mention the operating noise. It wobbles somehow ... is sometimes louder and quieter times. Sounds kind of cheap. It's not my XBox, because of sound as friends. The volume corresponds to about a PC cooler (unless one assumes a very expensive, quiet PC cooler), in earlier reviews that my opinion was greatly exaggerated (comparisons with vacuum cleaner, etc. do not apply to).

What I find very good, that you can download demos via Xbox Live down. It's free and it does not need any Gold membership. Less good is then that the gold membership but is quite expensive (I think 60 euros or dollars per year) and that new games features etc. often cost money even though they are relatively insignificant. Here I am concerned that in future games are easily sold in half and you have to buy more expensive then the rest. In GTA IV is something already announced. Thus, if the games are really extensive, it is of course ok ... That remains to be seen.

The package on offer here you have to say that the hard drive is definitely very useful, if only because you can save the demos it and so can get an idea what games are good (which also saves money by mispurchases etc). If you buy the Xbox 360 without a hard drive and buy the hard drive for that is as far as I know not even cheaper than the full package offered here.

An advantage is also the wireless controller. Retrofitting should be still the Play and Charge Bundle so you do not constantly have to recharge batteries.

Needless I find in the package the headphones, but which is virtually paid, considering what it would cost to retrofit everything else in the package.

I have yet an additional VGA cable bought on Ebay to my PC monitor to be connected to the XBox. Although the Xbox 360 has USB inputs using the mouse and keyboard in games is not possible.

The package is a total good and recommendable.

The games that are available for the XBox 360 are suitable for players of all ages and almost every taste (who only Wirtschaftssimulationen plays is a PC of course better off ... The Xbox 360 is particularly suitable for Action, Adventures, first person shooters, racing games , sports games, etc.).

Overall, I would recommend the XBox 360 each. Compared with the PS 3 is cheaper and offers about the same games selection. The slightly higher processing power at the PS 3 is not that important to me because the game rather Stellter must optimize games for the XBox yes to suffer any loss of revenue in this area. Although the noise from the Xbox 360 are not really nice, but justified in my opinion no points deduction.

Conclusion: really a powerful device with a great selection of games!
