Microsoft Xbox 360 Platinum System

From: $229.95

By now you've already heard how Xbox 360 puts you at the center of the most powerful games on the planet, hence the "360," as in 360 degrees (geometry students will recognize that as the number of degrees in a circle). To accomplish this feat, Microsoft has brought together a full circle of powerful factors.

I bought a 360 about a month and a half ago at the beginning of summer 2008. I use it daily for watching movies, playing Halo, or listening to music on my surround sound. It simply is the best entertainment hub available. It beats the pants off bu

I had to send it back within few months because it overheated and fried itself. When it works it works fairly well but it does let me down quite a bit. It seems like it needed a larger cooling sytem. It is very loud even when it is enclosed in my med

All in all, this is a fine gaming console, as well as an upscaling DVD player (requires either a VGA HD cable or HDMI for newer X360s), and has plenty of options for downloading game demos, movie trailers, and addons for games you might own, etc...

Even if my XBox360 fries, I'll be repairing it and/or getting a new one. I can't live without the Media Center, I play games all the time, and the controller is great. There is no question that quality control isn't up-to-snuff, but Microsoft deliv

PROS: My TiVo died last year, and I ended up able to hook my computer to the XBox360 for Media Center functionality, and I couldn't live without it. I also love the online capabilities, great games, and controllers. I haven't had a any problems with it.
CONS: A lot of people get the Red Ring of Death. I haven't had that yet (knock on wood), and I've had it going on 3 years. My brother-in-law's fried, and Microsoft repaired it, no problem, in two weeks. My brother's died, and no problems repairing, too.

When I first heard my friend's PlayStation 3, I could have swore that thing was getting ready for take off. The amount of noise coming out of that thing is a bit ridiculous. And after reading this article on the amount of energy this thing sucks up, I can see why. According to the Australian consumer agency Choice, the PS3 isn't very friendly to your utility bill. The gaming console, when running, sucks up to five times as much more energy than a refrigerator and ten times as much as the Nintendo Wii. How much does that come out to in dollars? About $250 if you keep that baby running all the time. The Xbox 360 isn't that much better, running around 23.57 kWH per week compared to the PS3's 31.74 kWH and the Wii at 2.97 kWH. Basically, if you're not using the console, just turn it o... more
