    Beware of Hidden Costs & High Failure Rate
    After you buy the console, the wifi adapter, the games, and the xbox live subscription, the thing is just going to turn around and die on you.

    Dated, I love having to buy addons, wheras PS3 has it included by the way.
    Pass, console is dated and overrated. PS3 comes with free online via PSN, included wifi, more powerful CPU and graphics, I could go on, but naw. XBOX 360 needs to retire.

    Just received my Fall 2009 Xbox Elite in today. It is a Jasper chip model; the power pack indicated 12.1 A (which I’m told is the telltale sign of the Jasper). I haven’t gotten much of chance to play around with it yet, but thought it was important to let people know that they will be getting the newest chip. I wasn’t sure when I made the purchase, so I hope this helps…

    Also, I just wanted to state that the Elite model only includes standard A/V cables (red, white, yellow). I figured this was useful information. Though many people have stated that the Fall 2009 model did not have an HDMI cable, I assumed it included a component cable instead, which is does not. Not a big deal; just want to help people make informed purchases.

    The newer Elite has the Jasper
    I was concerned about buying the Elite. I wasn’t sure if I was going to get the Jasper or not. Well, the recent price drop convinced me otherwise and I took a chance.

    Fall 2009 Elite – Jasper and Works Perfectly
    I have had the Fall 2009 elite from amazon for about a week now, and after intense gaming it is working beautifully. It also has the latest Jasper chipset.

    If you’re in the market for a next-gen gaming system and can’t quite decide between Sony’s Playstation 3 or Microsoft’s Xbox 360, then this review is specifically for you.

    First, the good stuff. The Xbox 360 is immensely popular and has the largest library of triple-A games and exclusives. After all, you’ll only find games like Gears of War, Halo and Grand Theft Auto on this system [retraction: GTA4 is not 360-exclusive, sorry]. The online community is beyond robust; Microsoft’s Xbox Live service has completely revolutionized online gaming. Not only that but you can stream many TV shows and movies from Netflix right onto your television through the “New Xbox Live Experience” (NXE for short). Lastly, the hardware is no slouch either as several cross-platform titles actually have a slight edge in performance on the 360 over their PS3 counterparts (more on that later).

    Okay, now the stuff the PS3 does better (and I’m allowed to say this as I’ve owned both consoles since launch). Remember the NXE I mentioned earlier? Perks aside, the interface is simply horrible. The NXE is a mess of redundant menus and even suffers from noticeable processor lag. The PS3 Media Bar, on the other hand, is clean, neat, and professional-looking, and has a slight advantage in functionality too (and it doesn’t force you to create ridiculous avatars). The PS3 is also technically superior to the 360 in terms of processing power and video performance (but some games have an edge on the 360 due to early developmental difficulties on the PS3), and it exclusively uses a blu-ray drive for both games and movies alike, all at an extremely competitive price. The software library for the PS3 is nearly as immense as the 360′s, with the vast majority of titles available for either system, and includes a fair share of triple-A exclusives of its own (LittleBigPlanet, Metal Gear Solid 4, Heavenly Sword). Finally, the PS3 is one of the most stable consoles I’ve ever owned (even over the PS2); I can literally count on one hand the number of times the console has frozen up on me in the last two years.

    Lastly, the stuff both consoles fail at (and do I even need to mention the absurd failure rate of the Xbox 360?). The PS3 will initally annoy you with a near-constant slew of software updates. The 360 is stuck with a standard DVD drive and obsolete HD-DVD add-on. The newer PS3′s have all but eliminated backward-compatibility with PS2 games. The 360 simply looks and feels like a toy. The PS3….uhm….well the PS3′s sleek, glossy finish is susceptible to fingerprints (I’m out of bad stuff for the PS3). Fighting game fans: the 360′s d-pad is quite possibly the worst d-pad ever conceived, which is ironic considering the fantastic design of the rest of the controller. And yes, your 360 WILL die on you at some point. It is no exaggeration whatsoever that I don’t know a single person who isn’t on at least their second system.

    While I do genuinely enjoy my Xbox 360 over time I have become more and more fond of my PS3 due in part to those few crucial differences I mentioned. Bottom-line: if you’re a hardcore gamer who needs a consistent online fix, go with the 360. If you’re not as competetive and are simply looking for a legitimate entertainment/media hub, pick up a PS3.

    So I just received my Elite 120G Xbox system in the mail, and it has the Jasper unit! brand new console, great black finish, working excellent and super quite. The only troubles I have felt were in the delivery method, there is almost no protection in the box, only a little cardboard spacers. I could see some of them getting damaged in the mail…but mine works great. Also, I dont know what Microsoft was thinking not having any hi-def cables in this package. wtf? it’s a next gen console, why make people go out of their way to get the experience they paid for? I actually read between the lines and ordered component cables which should be here tomorow (these Elites have the hdmi port, but my TV doesn’t) Overall, a great buy. If you like playing great games, online with friends, and tons of downloadable content, get this. Dont listen to the snobs comparing every microbit of differences b/w xbox and playstation, they are both awesome systems, buy both if you like the games. Xbox is just more my cup’o'tea. But buy the extra cables for Hi-def, and upgrade to rechargable betteries.

    Not worth the money
    We had our xbox for approx 7 months before it had the ring of death. The warranty on the xbox is awful, so it was not covered.

    An honest review
    The original XBOX 360 I bought at launch died from RRoD around 80 days of play time. I returned it to Microsoft.

    Could have been a great system.
    Xbox 360 could have been a great system, but thanks to the greed by Microsoft its not. The good stuff about it is it has a good amount of games, but this is all it has going for…
