I have owned an Xbox 360 for more than a year now and it still works excellent! The main reason I got it was because of Halo. But there are other fun games too. The couch is 25 feet away from the HDTV, but I have wireless controllers, which can be up to 30 feet away! And they work very good. You can also play original Xbox games on your 360! But you need to have a hard drive and special software to do it. Go to www.xbox.com for more information. The games for it are very fun and four people can play on them! Xbox 360 is just a fun console and I would really recommend it! It is worth every penny! Customer Review: Greatest purchase I've ever made!

The title says it all - I am extremely happy with this console. I was always a Playstation guy until my cousin showed me the light with the XBox 360. I was planning on buying a PS3 in the future, but why would I spend that kind of money when I can get the XBox for so much cheaper?? Love it!Customer Review: When am I going to learn?
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought a 360 about a year ago. I only feel qualified to review it as a system now because I can safely say I owned this system for the entire length of its functional life, and don't think I'll be getting much more out of it, since it no longer works.
That's an exaggeration. It'll work again. I just have to get an entirely new disc drive for it.
Which brings me to the strange duality of the 360. On one hand, there are some truly great games available for it and only for it. The graphics it's capable of are superb, the standard wireless controllers are outstanding, and they're even designed rather ergonomically. And yet--before something can be good, it has to function.
Let me tell you a quick story for comparative purposes. The first system I ever owned was a Sega Master System. 1986, folks. Being a kid, I kicked the heck out of it. Dropped it. Spilled stuff on it. Treated the cartridges poorly. My brother enjoyed chewing on the electrical cables (seriously). Guess what? It's in the other room right now, still hooked up and functioning perfectly (including the chewed cords; nothing a little tape didn't fix).
On the other hand, my Xbox 360 was treated like it was the statue of a deity. It had its own particular spot, well-ventilated, was never knocked over, spilled upon, or spoken to vulgarly. If I had to move it, I wrapped it up in a blanket so it wouldn't get dinged. And less than a year after buying it...it breaks down.
So--lifespan comparisons. Sega Master System = 22 years and counting. Xbox 360 = 10 months.
Really, if you're going to be charging people hundreds of dollars, at least have the common courtesy to use quality parts. I can understand not building them to military specifications, but can it at least last a year before it breaks down? I may be fixing my 360, but you can bet it's the last time I trust this company with my money.
Next time I'm going with a Playstation--which, given, also break down. But it seems they don't do it with nearly the regularity and predictability of the Xbox. Sorry, Microsoft. You had two chances. (Oh, right, I forgot to mention. I also owned an Xbox. Guess what? It stopped reading discs after...about a year. Seems to be a pattern.)
Customer Review: Realized Potential
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far the best console of this generation. It has more features and games than both ps3 and wii combined. From the amazing marketplace where you can buy original xbox games, movies, music videos, games, demos and more.
Of all three systems it has the most established and polished online community. There is enough free content in the market place to easily keep you busy for hours a day. And the user interface is smoother than a newborns rump.
the best console of the generation, you can also stream media from your computer via windows live media player without having to have it connected directly to your pc. so i never have to buy movies, just download and watch from my room.
