Strong buy recommendation! With small weaknesses ...

--------------------------------
Benefits:

- Super chic design in matte black. Especially in the state provides for the XBOX 360 outstanding from.

- Really superior controller. Asymmetric control sticks, RT and LT-key have an increased pressure depth, high wireless range, overall very handy. Best Controller I ever could have in hand.

- Stable server and outstanding online gaming thanks to the Xbox Live Gold membership

- Integrated DVD player. Here I must say that a DVD player is enough for me, because I am not yet switched to Blu-ray. Therefore, there is no need for a Blu-ray player and am very satisfied with the integrated DVD player for me. He comes often for watching movies used.

- Great graphics, which is even partly better than the PS3.
Reason: The hardware of the XBOX 360 was built much like a computer. Advantage for the companies in the gaming industry: lighter programming games and often a graphical advantage over the PS3, despite their more superior hardware.

- Very low price. There should be no problem, this model of Xbox 360 Slim (250Gb) to buy for 150. The controllers are also very low (respectively 29, have also been times Seen cheaper on Amazon)

- Very very quiet fan and silent drive! Whoever complained here is really picky or sitting half a meter away from the XBOX. The volume test my Wii compared to the XBOX is considerable. Since the Wii clearly draws the short straw.

- Class exclusive titles, though few. I liebäugle since my childhood for HALO

- Built-touch function in the console (press the power button and drive-by button touch)

- Play exclusive motion control through the sophisticated concept of the Sensor Bar "Kinect" possible (Kinect is not included in this product, if required an additional purchase should be considered). With the Xbox 360 Slim no additional power supply is required for Kinect and can be easily connected to the Slim.

- Appealing firmware. Beautiful and simple interface, the tile design is very similar to the operating system Windows 8 and Windows Phone. I like!

- Enough space. 250Gb give me something out of. Already seven games installed, including other bells and whistles such as demos, etc. and I have not even utilized one-third of the storage capacity

- In Internet activity: wide range of services, programs, arcade games, demos, music, movies, etc.

---------------------------------------
Disadvantages:

- The benefits of the Internet function costs some money (30 per year)

- Population of XBOX is still very low in Germany (in America and Great Britain, however, enormously high!). I grew up eventually with a Play Station, because at that time the children in the euro area the term "console" often used as a synonym for "Play Station". I also rather late to get wind of the "GameCube" or the classic "XBOX".

(- No Blue-Ray player) -> is not a disadvantage for my consumption

- The biggest shortcoming of my feeling: too few steadfast exclusives! And that's the point of the most painful to me.
Why has Microsoft former exclusives like Fable III (also available for PC) Alan Wake (after some time: also available for PC) lose, Dead or Alive 5 (also available for PS3), Deadly Premonition (coming soon for PS3)? Economic perspective probably more profitable for Microsoft, because thus increased sales figures are made possible. But for me, are the exclusive title of particular importance. Finally, Sony also strives to secure its exclusive title for the Play Station.
For example, I have now Alan Wake for PC (for 8 purchased), rather than on the XBOX. Would it be an exclusive title for the Xbox, I would have still 50 spent on the game.
A pity. For me, this is a great loss of exclusivity of the Xbox 360 console.
Should be mentioned in order to dampen the criticism, however, that there are still numerous exclusive beads exclusively for the Xbox 360.

--------------------------------------------
Here is a small list of exclusive titles (for Xbox 360):

- HALO, and a lot of it! The first-person shooter in the Halo universe. Simply amazing!

- Forza, best driving simulation (and best arcade racer thanks to the digression: "Forza Horizon" of the game series)

- Gears of War, Third persom shooter with stark brutality and macabre humor in space.

- Lost Odyssey, RPG a la Final Fantasy. Long season, good character depth.

- Etc. etc.

So is there but already a lot of exclusive titles available and I have this far from being played all or owned!

--------------------------------------------------
Conclusion:

The Xbox 360 is a great console that stands out due to their online gaming, and their special exclusive titles. The controller is awesome and by upgrading with Kinect, a play is made possible by the exclusive motion control. The market price of the console, as well as accessories (controllers, Kinect) is extremely low. The storage capacity of this model covers my current utilization considerably, and will remain very likely so.
A disadvantage of the XBOX 360 are the (low) online fees, the loss of some exclusive titles, the nonexistent Blue-Ray player and the small population in Germany. However, the disadvantages have only a minor impact on my vote and my opinion outweigh the benefits clearly!
So you bought an Xbox 360 (especially ours!) If your preferences tend to the console from Microsoft. True to its motto: "Jump in."
