This console is very good and offers gamers more for their money and is much better looking than the previous xbox.
The console itself is very well made with a nice look and a fantastic new menu system that makes the console very easy to use and play on. The wireless controller fits into your hands extremely well and is comfortable and responsive. The hard drive which comes with the premium version is essential in my opinion becuase it allows you to save both games and media and also play older xbox titles. The most important aspect with a new console is probably the graphics and the 360's graphics are in one word BREATHTAKING even if you are playing on a standard tv you can see a massive improvement in lighting effects and the sharpness of the picture.
The console is by no means perfect though. In a few of the release games (NBA 06, Tiger Woods 06) there is some slowdown which in some circumstances can be very frustrating. The console is also quite noisy when playing games and can get very hot if it has been on for long periods of time.
In my opinion there is more positive than negative but you have to remember that other consoles in the past have had problems as well so don't be put off by a little noise and slowdown. There are some fantastic games ( Kameo, Project Gotham 3, Perfect Dark, DOA4 and Call of Duty 2) which make the console a must have and offer brilliant gameplay which other consoles can't offer you. If you are looking for a new games console then the xbox 360 is the best out there and is well worth buying.
Hope this helps.
