Xbox 360 Reviews..
The good: All games for the Xbox 360 are in high-definition, as is the excellent, user-friendly Dashboard interface. There's built-in support for wireless controllers and excellent online gaming, content down loads, and communications via Xbox Live. The console is not only backward compatible with many (but not all) original Xbox titles, but it also doubles as a superior digital media hub and Windows Media extender. The system's online Marketplace allows easy purchases of mini-games, movies, and TV shows.
The bad: The console has some small design flaws: a noisy exhaust fan, which can annoy if your sound is turned down..! No built-in wireless networking, however you can buy an adaptor, only three USB ports, and no DVI or HDMI output. Additionally, the system's customary 20GB hard drive can't store a lot of high-definition downloadable content. Online gaming requires a paid subscription to Xbox Live.
The bottom line: The Xbox 360 delivers the power and performance of a high-end gaming PC Arcade Games , including impressive digital media and networking features http://www.tonik.co.uk. So overall I rate the system 10/10 for gaming enjoyment.. We would love to here your review of the xbox 360
