Microsoft Xbox 360 Premium

We bought an xbox for our kids, only $99 and then 2yr contract to get LIVE. We were unable to activate, several phone calls and weeks later we get an email saying we are going to be charged an early termination fee for cancelling... WHAT? we are still trying to get assistance to activate. Then we get an email saying Best Buy showed that we returned it and voided our contract. Then we are told by Microsoft WE HAVE to return it and repurchase. That it is the only way. They cannot activate it. This is the most screwed up company. No one knows what the other one is doing.

the best thing about the 360 is the gaming, sure the live does cost but it is worth it, I think. But I must say it is so faulty, the disc reader seems to read the disc when it wants to even though there are no scratches on the disc, thats what gets on my nerves, other than that it is a great machine and would recommend it to anyone

Wasn't sure whether to give this

Microsoft Xbox 360 Premium overall 3 or 4 stars, find the console very noisy, range of games and ease of setup are very good, control pad takes some getting used to but is very comfortable. Don't agree with the two tear Xbox live silver and gold compared to PS3 offerings. (Personal opinion). Console itself seems to have a cheap feel about it.

Microsoft Xbox 360 Premium online gaming is awesome compared to other leading future gaming consoles also has good titles that are only coming out on the xbox such as halo3 and gears of war 1 and 2. Also the new dashboard is quite good as well a little improvement on the old 1. Having to pay for xbox live and extra downloadable content is a bad point. Also some times online there can be a bit of lag especialy on gears of war 2 which spoilt the game a bit except for the hard game type

I am on my 3rd xbox at this time due to the 3 rings of death.. but each time I have called microsoft they have been excellent over the phone, sent me a box and shipping sticker at no charge, and I have received a new xbox promptly. Other then that I play my system daily and thoroughly enjoy it.

Great online play, great game variety

Dash features work great. Graphics are good and loading speeds are short. I got the red rings three times. The firt time took about a month, the second was about a week. The third time I just bought an intercooler for $20 and so far I havent had any problems. Well recommend Microsoft Xbox 360 Premium.

Being mid-market, it is a perfect balance in its price, and with better exclusive games.Better for the more serious gamers then Wii-owners, but even though you have to pay for Xbox live, it is better then the PS3's online.Rumors of a wii-like remote (or 'newton' remote look interesting), so I think we have yet more to see and look forward to from the Xbox 360.

I have bought my xbox when they came out... It has been in for repairs 4 times already. Every time I had the red rings of death. I wonder how microsoft can pull it off as I was let down with this machines...I don't get it.Anyway, take my advise, buy a Wii... Graphics may not be perfect, but you'll have a lot more fun in my opinion as I did.

The good points in my experience with the xbox 360 are the Dashboard features, graphics, controllers and most of all the xbox 360 live... Had a 360 for a while now, very satisfied and wouldn't trade for any other console.

The Xbox 360 is the best console I've ever had, and best around, the ps3 is too expensive. Great console, never gone wrong, great games, great graphics and reasonable price.
