Summary: Unless you've been living in a Buddhist Temple in the mountains of Tibet for the past few months you will be well aware that the Xbox 360 has launched in the UK. Although there has been a massive amount of coverage and speculation in the technology press regarding the 360, the general marketing has been slightly subdued. OK, so you may... Read the full review

Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite

Verdict: We can¿t believe there¿s no built-in Wi-Fi, but otherwise the stealthy Xbox Elite and its merry band of games make an enticing alternative to the PS3

Verdict: While it's missing a couple of potentially important features at launch, the Xbox 360 delivers the power and performance of a high-end gaming PC, including impressive digital media and networking features
Pros: ; All games in high-definition; excellent user-friendly Dashboard interface; built-in support for wireless controllers; excellent online gaming and communications via Xbox Live; backward compatible with many (but not all) original Xbox titles; doubles as superior digital media hub and Windows Media extender; £280 bundle includes key
Cons: ; First wave of games is somewhat anaemic; noisy exhaust fan; no built-in wireless networking; only three USB ports; no support for next-gen HD movie discs; no DVI or HDMI output; doesn't upscale DVDs to HD resolution; gigantic oversize power supply; price will almost certainly drop

Verdict: While it's neither a must-have upgrade for existing 360 owners nor as feature-packed as the PS3, the Xbox 360 Elite's combination of top-notch gaming and digital media features make it the current game console of choice
Pros: ; Excellent selection of games; HDMI port; large hard drive
Cons: ; Noisy DVD drive and cooling fan; gigantic power supply; no built-in wireless networking; no built in HD DVD drive

Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite


Summary: Evolution not revolution is the name of the Xbox Elite¿s game with an HDMI-out and bigger hard-drive the bait for anyone who managed to resist the original¿s charms... Read the full review
Verdict: If you're buying a new 360, get an Elite - simple as that. If you've already got one, this is pretty much a cosmetic upgrade ¿ but you might want to look into getting the separate 120GB hard drive when it comes out...
