The best solution for a hard core gamer!

Jan 31, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: The best and most diverse gaming library amongst current gen consoles
Cons: 3RL or Red Ring of Death is a very cruel thing to happen! XBox Live is not free!
Opinion:
If you're a hardcore gamer then this console is the best for you! The XBox 360 also gives out better fps among multi platform games (60fps vs 30fps@PS3 on most EA games).
The biggest downside, and real cruel, is the 3 Red Lights which mean a hardware error! Most people who buy this are hardcore games who will play for numerous hours, but playing for numerous hours increases the risks of the Red Ring of Death!!! The whole ask for a coffin, ship coffin then get replacement unit takes a long time, especially for countries who are not yet supported. Some people have also encountered issues with the disc drive. Also XBox Live (for online gaming) is a pay service unlike the PS Network!
If not for the Hardware problems & if XBox Live were free, this would have been an 11 out of 10.
