 buggy piece of hardware October 9, 2008
I purchased the Elite on October 1, 2008. Unfortunately, the console I received does not have the newest chipset. Though I've not played it a lot yet (I bought if for Fable 2, which isn't out yet), it's been amazingly undependable.
The first time I turn it on for any individual sitting, there is no picture. Turning it off-and-on again, however, does supply a picture. I have it connected via an HDMI cable to a Samsung HD flatscreen (model number LN-R268W), which I've had for years and never had a problem with before. It's not the TV (my DVD player works fine via HDMI), nor the cable, so it must be the console. First call to tech support was unhelpful; I imagine I'll have to eventually send it for repair.
At other times, I get a single red ring and a system error message that tells me to call customer support. Turning the console on and off makes it work properly. I called tech support about that too and they were unhelpful.
Though I don't regret buying it (yet), I'm amazed at how buggy it is and how poor customer service seems to be (why on earth can't I buy the extra warranty protection via XBox Live?). As a longtime Mac and Wii user, everything about the XBox strikes me as clunky and poorly designed.
 So far, so good September 5, 2008

I've been using this model for over a month now. No issues so far.
Why? Because its black and cool looking! September 1, 2008
Never gives me any problems, nice shiny look to fit in the spot Im putting it, can do a lot with it! Well my review is not going to compare the old 360 with this one as I dont own an old 360 rather tell you what I enjoy about this one which could be the same as the old one, I dont know... Coming soon you can watch Netflix which is great. I love you can rent movies and watch them from your xbox. I can link up to my computer as a media extender to watch movies on the big screen! The hdmi cord comes with it plugged right in to my radio and sounds LOUD and Crisp! Must say I like the sound quality better then the ps3. I watch all my dvds on it ( no blue rays ) have to have a ps3 do something I guess. Chat with my friends online! Check to see what new awards they got on the games I got and set out to beat them! I like it? ya. I like the games I play? Duh (wouldnt play them if I didn't). What makes the games on the 360 better then playing them on other consels? I get little creidt that I achieved something that my friend can see showing I did it. Others do not do this. Plus many games you just cant get that 360 makes (Halo3). Anything you do not like about it? When I first got it, I had a digital input in my radio and an hdmi port in my tv, but the extender will not let you plug an hdmi and a digital cord into the 360 together so I had to use the yellow red and white. Upgraded my radio and now it has the hdmi port (reason I got it) and works great. Why do you want such a huge hard drive? I rent moveis all the time and download clips and free shows, free games, new maps and extras! I have a bunch of games my dad likes saved right to the hard drive. Why have more then you need? Because less is a worse feeling!
X-box 360 is the best for serious gamers July 22, 2008

I only gave this product 2 stars because I already had a X-box 360. It got the red rings of death and I couldnt get microsoft to send me a box so i could send it to be fixed.
So I bought the cheapest Elite I could find on this site. At first it was great. Then I noticed about an hour in the game graphics would warp like theold Nintendo cartridges would when not in the system right, but right enough that they would still play. I thought it was the game at first, as I had played other games in the Elite and non of them had the same problem, until I played Halo 3 in my Elite and it did the same things in less than an hour.
Afte that I decided to return it and finally get on Microsoft about getting my old 360 repaired.
The 360 is really the best system for serious gamers. If you have a wii, most likely you play it when friends are over or if you want a good work out, not if you want to do actuall gaming with quality games. The ps3 has almost no titles, while the 360 while not the best in graphics and not always kid friendly has the widest selection of games for the serious and grown up gamer. For that I would give the system 5 starts but this particular system I bought only recieved 2.
Very happy customer July 3, 2008

I just got my 360 yesterday, and first of all, the Elite Bundle I ordered from Amazon was not repackaged in any way, shape, or form. It had the "Go Big" on it, it has the Falcon chip, and the games came factory sealed. Everything is perfect.
That being said, this is an amazing piece of hardware. Everything is so seamless. Downloading demos from XBox Live is ridiculously easy. The Marketplace has an awesome selection of items ranging from original XBox games (Psychonauts!) to TV Shows to some pretty excellent Indie Arcade games.
Everything you want to do, you can do it, and do it easily. For instance, I was playing Forza, and I decided I wanted some of my own music during the races. So I just loaded some music on my thumb drive from my PC, popped it in the USB port on the front of the 360, and I was good to go.
The graphics are awesome, the sound is great. If I had ONE gripe, and it's not a big one, the fans on the 360 are a little loud. But if you have music going you won't even hear it.
GET ONE!
