Xbox 360 Elite High-Definition Gaming and Entertainment System Review

November 1, 2007

The Xbox 360 Elite is more of an all in one entertainment center than just a gaming console. Although not as feature packed as the Playstation 3, it has some very nice qualities.

The current selection of games are top notch though some would still say there are not enough choices. My thoughts are at $49 - $59 bucks per game, I’ll take quality over quantity any day.

This new model features a HDMI port whereas the older models did not. It can also serve as a Windows Media extender. The online marketplace gives you easy access to purchase mini-games, add-on content, TV shows and High Definition movies.

All of these things are great but, the Xbox 360 Elite still has some issues. They didn’t seem to fix any of the previous complaints of the original Xbox 360. For instance, the Xbox 360 Elite still has the enormous external power supply, Noisy fans, A cheap, crappy DVD player - you still have to buy a bulky external player for HD movies, No Wi-Fi, and only 3 USB ports. It would have really been nice to at least see this model come with an internal HD DVD player.

Conclusion

Even though some issues still exist, this console is the gaming platform of choice for many gamers. Mainly because of the awesome games and the media features. Overall, this console will make a great addition to your world of entertainment.
