By now you will have probably read all sorts of reviews of how it only lasts 24 hours and that it never works well don't listen to them. I read these reviews and when I got my Xbox I was extremly worried that it would explode the moment I swithced it on on and the noise of it humming would dearen me, but it didn't. In fact it's very quiet and only if you run it over 7 hours and put your hand at the back then it does get hot. I have had my Xbox for 2 weeks and have been using it alot and it still works perfectly.
to cut a long story short there's nothing wrong with it
AND IT IS 1000000000000 TIMES BETTER THAN A PS3 ( playstation 3 )

Even though console (Arcade 512MB) original release date (2009 August) is older than is described in product page, it doesn't really matter, because it has new Jasper chip.

I've had this console for about 3 years now and im trading it in to get a ps3. I wouldn't consider myself a "fanboy" of any console im just going to give my honest opinion.
This console appears cheap but it is not. If you want to see it at its full potential you have to pay alot of money for very expensive add ons. For example a new hard drive (120gb) at game is 60 quid, a network adapter is 50 quid, the wireless controller and charge and play kit is 30 quid (preowned)and if you want to ease the pressure on the lense reading the discs by getting the add on dvd player thats another 50 quid, 1 year on xbox live is another 40 quid. The list goes on.
Microsoft released everything as seperate add ons whereas sony built everything in, even the online gaming is free. By the time you've upgraded the 360, the ps3 is cheaper and you get the blu-ray drive which looks stunning.
Im not knocking the quality of this console because for 3 years i've played some great games and i've never had any breakdowns (the hdmi console has a new cooler chipset in it)its the price of everything for it i dont like.
Lastly, the ps3 lets you use any sata 2.5 drive in it whereas the 360 only accepts the microsoft branded ones.
to summarise, this console is ruined by microsoft corporation's greed.
