+ Excellent selection of games. Brilliant xbox live gameplay with friends. Movies available through xbox live marketplace.

- Runs hot and can give the user a 3 red rings error. Although installing games direct to the elite's hard drive does cut down on the consoles heat build up problem.

Ben, London

+ The xbox 360 elite is a fantastic games console, offering players all they need for hi definition, next gen gaming. From the interface design to the seamless xbox live integration, the console is an intelligently designed and well build product. The range of games available is amazing and continues to grow, with exciting titles arriving frequently and to an ever increasing standard. I spent a great deal of time mulling over which console to go for, I can happily say that I think I made a great choice in the Elite, it offers fantastic value, incorporating so much tech, along with all the accessories (leads etc) a gamer could possibly need to get their console running in high definition.

+ The x box elite is a class gaming machine with added memory from the old 20 gig one . It also looks better in my opinion , more stylish being in black .

- the only bad point is the cost it is alot of your hard earned money and prices do seem to be the same everwhere , normally prices come down when consoles have been around for a while so maybe some day they will.

- Alot of Xbox's build quality in my experience has been very questionable. My first xbox 360 broke, got repaired by microsoft for free and then broke again, however they wanted me to pay this time to get it fixed so i decided to get the 360 elite which normally has better build quality and a new warranty, however this time,its the wireless controller giving me hassle, just switching itself off even with brand new batteries in it.
