Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - THE console to own this generation
In my opinion the xbox 360 has the best selection of titles to choose from to keep you entertained this gen.
I actually had to send in my halo edition because of the red ring of death, which i assume can happen whenever. I thought I might see it after some long sessions with it on. But no, I was house sitting for my parents and when I returned to my appartment and booted it up after a week of it just sitting there, within the first 5 minutes of having it on the problems started.
I choose to send this into the repair center, which was actually a very speedy process as they just sent me a new console instead of fixing the one that I sent them.
The halo edition looks great, a little more dull/darker than it looks in the picture but its still cool, and its great having the hdmi support for obvious reasons. I usually let newer unexperienced players use a different controller because if its a little dark in your room the face buttons arent as clear to the eye, as it would be with the white.

I own a wii and barely play it due to the fact that there really arent many good games. Also, it seems they only release games for audiences under 5. Thats sarcasm for you, but really most of all the games are for kids.

never had a care to play the ps3 and still havent touched one
go microsoft!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Like Halo? Like Xbox 360? Well we have a system for you!
I have owned 3 Xbox 360 consoles, and not a single one of them have suffered the Red Ring Death. This one is no exception.

I am a huge fan of the Halo series so me buying this was a "No Duh" decision. People complain about the Red Ring of Death with their systems. I have never had this issue. I do not know if these people are unlucky or if they simply cram the Xbox in a non vented area, but if you keep the Xbox out where it can breathe I think it would be alright. Just my 2 cent there.

This version of the 360 does have HDMI like the newer versions do. I only have 2 major complaints with this system.

1 being that I wish it would have come with the 120GB Hard drive vs the 20GB. The 20 fills up just too quickly with all the great stuff on Xbox Live.
2 is that I wish you could buy more controllers, headsets, etc to match this system! I have 1 really nice Green controller and then 1 Black and 1 White one. Would it be so hard to make these to buy separate?

This is nothing but a Green Xbox 360. lol But if you love Halo, this is an awesome choice.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Great Deal on a Great System
I am completely satisfied with this purchase!

Pros:
The console looks great (in person it appear brighter than the customer pics, darker than the company pics)
Great graphics
Matching controller (plug and play included) and headset
Comes with free Special Edition Gamerpics and Theme
Lots of backwards compatability
1 month free gold membership to xbox live
Less cables, plugs, and setup than older consoles
A VERY WELL DESIGNED PRODUCT

Cons:
It has a rather large external power supply (hide it next to the power outlet)
Halo 3 is not included

Many people do not respect the Xbox 360 and are turning to worship the PlayStation3. Halo fans feel left out of the spot light with their 360s, but let me tell you, this console turns heads! Everyone asks me about it and has never seen one before. Make the decision on consoles based on exclusive games, not on anything else because people blow the Xbox 360's AND the PS3's problems out of proportion. If you are interested in the Halo series then the choice is obvious!

BUY THIS CONSOLE!


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great system for fan
If you enjoy the Halo series, no one can talk you out of buying this "camo" system. I got it on time and in great condition, plugged it in and started playing in no time! Comes with a really cool dashboard and stuff for online play.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - So many replacements and none work
I bought 2 Xbox machines for my nephews for Christmas (A Halo-edition and a Pro). They've been sitting on their shelf since Christmas now. One machine has been exchanged 3 times and still locks up after 5 minutes of play time. The other one has been exchanged twice - it doesn't work either. It takes about a month to get your hands on a replacement - which doesn't actually work any ways.

Microsoft admitted that they are having serious problems with their Xbox. So... shouldn't they recall them until it's fixed. Apparently not. They'll let you sit there with machines that don't work for a month and then give you your monthly replacment that doesn't work either. Then your kids get to sit there for ANOTHER month with a machine that STILL doesn't work for more than 5 minues.

For the most part I like Microsoft, but come on. 3 months of two Xbox 360's not working and I'm still waiting for a replacement for either one! This is ridiculous guys.
