I have both a PS3 and Xbox360, They compare favourably to each other. This product's offering as a strict gaming console is quite good. It has 3 excellent games to get you started. Furthermore, it has an excellent, wide ranging back catalogue of games from Mass Effect to Lost Odyssey (For you Japanese fix) to Bioshock, an excellent story driven shooter to Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3, two excellent arcade and some great tactical shooters like Gears of War. It also has plenty of good games coming out this year such as Grand Theft Auto 4 and Gears of War 2, Too Human (Action RPG/Shooter), Alan Wake (Thriller rpg).

I perfer this system over my PS3 because the controller fits much nicer in my hands. Its got some weight behind it. I also find that my thumbs don't strike each-other like on the Sixaxis controller. Furthermore the controller has Rumble, which I sorely miss on the PS3.

Technically the systems are both in the same league as each-other. Don't believe the hype the games are so close often you'll need a magnifying glass to tell the difference. Furthermore up till this point often the multiplatform games have been slightly better on this system so no need to worry about it's supposid technical difference to the PS3. Just one issue, the system has had most of it's RROD problems fixed (Under 10% failure rate and falling fast) I'm not worried, 3 years warranty is all the peace of mind I need.

Awesome system! I bought my system through gpstore about a year and a half ago and during that time I have had a blast so far playing the excellent catalogue of exclusive titles for 360 and other third party titles. Exclusive games such as Gears of War, Forza 2, Halo 3, Ninja Gaiden II, define what seperates xbox 360 from the rest, these games are all amazing and have great replay value (I never stop playing any of them!). The best is yet to come with these exclusives; Fable II, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Gears of War 2 (OMG!), LiPs, Grand Theft Auto IV downloadable content, Halo Wars, Too Human etc. Other third party titles that rock are; Grand Theft Auto IV, Soulcaiber IV, Final Fantasy XIII, EA sports games, Command & Conquer 3, Rock Band, Bully etc. I use my 360 for gaming, streaming media and watching/pausin­g/recording liveTV through Vista Media Center on my 360. As I have a camera and chatpad I use it to talk to all my xboxlive mates and msn messenger as well. With the new dashboard update expected anytime soon with incredible featuires that will redesign console gaming today and more rumored titles yet to come (Halo 4, Duke Nukem Forever, Forza 3, etc)… Jump in…

Title says it all. I got my first Xbox 360 last year in September and I broke down in a week, When I took it back The company gave me a new one which seemed fine until Today when it came up with “the red ring of death”. I now have to wait weeks possibly months for it to get repaired.

The Xbox 360 is a great console with fantastic games, but its EXTREMELY unreliable, buy if looking forward to months of repair time and constant failures.
