 Now's a great time to grab a 360. |

First of all, I'm a PS3 owner and have been nearly since it's launch. I really love the PS3 and think it's a great system. I had considered buying a 360 many times but kept passing over it after hearing of all the problems it had and just figured I didn't want to deal with the chances. Well after seeing this bundle with the new price cut and finding out this bundle is definitely the latest "Jasper" version I went ahead and purchased it. The two included games aren't exactly *amazing* but they're still pretty good and it's definitely a good deal to get both of them included for no added cost.
So far I've noticed the system does seem to run a good bit cooler than my brothers original launch model 360. I'm also really enjoy the new menu system for the 360. Or maybe I should say newer, I'm not sure when it came out, but I prefer it over the older "tabbed" style menu previously used. Overall I believe now is a great time to grab a 360. Since it has been out longer than the PS3 you do have access to more titles and more titles that are cheap. Some of the systems best games can easily be picked up for $29.99 now. The ability to use Netflix on the system is also really amazing. The menu system and the integration to the Xbox menu is top notch, it definitely doesn't feel like an after thought.
Thus far my only gripe with the system is how Microsoft uses it's point system for purchasing items. I much prefer just buying a game for say $6.99 from the Playstation Network than more or less being forced to buy considerably more points than you need to be able to grab one game. For example, you want to purchase a game that's 1200 points, guess what the smallest you can add is 1000 so you're then forced to jump up to 4000 points (which I believe equals twenty dollars) to be able to get the game. You're then left with odd point amounts and it's really just a pain! It seems pretty deliberate to grab more money out of consumers. |

This is a good xbox 360 starter set for 12 and younger because it includes batman and pure which are two E games. the console is a jasper so its much cooler and quiet, it's also not really vulnerable to rrod anymore. xbox live is a little overprised but its not laggy and superior, i recommend you to use a ethernet cable instead of the 70$ adapter if your router is close by. This set also includes a controller, but if you are going to buy this set than you should also buy a extra controller, because lego batman is all about coop and pure has multiplayer. This also includes a 120 gb hardrive, which is huge. There is no need to buy a memory card because this might take your whole life to fill up. Also, the xbox store has alot of good demos, videos to download. The NXE dashboared is improved and easier to use and you can sign up for netflix if you have gold membership. If you have a hd tv its best to use a hdmi cable ,because the console can support resolutions of 1080p and support dolby digital. I think its best if you use it horizontally because the xbox can have more air intake, but if you plan to use vertically than i think you should buy a cooling stand.

This is one awesome holiday bundle!!! I got it early because my previous 360 rrod'd and m$ said it would be $100 to fix it. So I went with the elite because the jasper chip that causes more efficient running, less heat and noise overall ... I think. The two games are awesome, two that I wanted. I am 23 by the way, so for anyone that says 12 and under pfft, Lego series games are popular with everyone, and racing games are awesome. Pure is an off road extreme atv game where its all about the tricks you pull. Two very awesome games. I haven't played them yet, but I'm a serious gamer so I watch videos and stuf like that. Xbox Live is THE STANDARD for online gaming now. Unmatched by anything else. It requires a subscription to play, but its worth it!! 1 month ~ $8 (if they still make those), 3 month ~ $20, and 12 month (with bonus month sometimes!) cards ~ $50. Thats about all you need to know.
Oh so in the box is the following:
-Xbox 360 console with the 120 gb HDD
-One wireless controller
-One Xbox Live headset
-One ethernet cable (8 foot)
-AV cable
-Power brick + connector power cable
-2 AA batteries (for controller)
-Holiday edition Pure/ Lego Batman games! (comes in one case, 2 separate discs) |
Both fancy AND schmancy!

This is the third 360 I've owned, and by far the one I'm most pleased with.
First, it's quiter than the ones I've dealt with before. It makes a bit of noise but not nearly as much.
Second, gotta love that black finish! I was always worried with my older systems about leaving smudges on the white control pad. No problem there now!
Third, the 120GB hard drive that comes with it is pretty sweet. I was thinking about waiting until next week to get the 250GB drive, but I think 120 is more than enough, considering that I don't download tons of things onto there.
Fourth, the HDMI port! I connected up a cable to my brand new HDTV and, oh, my goodness, does it look great!
Last, the included games. Previously they bundled "Lego Indiana Jones" and "Kung Fu Panda". In this case you get "Lego Batman", which is a better game, and "Pure", which is much better than "Kung Fu Panda". I don't care for racing games, so I probably won't play it much, but at least I might play it more than once, which wasn't the case with KFP.
Overall this is quite a good buy! You get the system, two games and a good sized hard drive for only $50 more than a system with half the drive space and no games. Really, there's no reason not to buy this system if you're after a 360! |

| I have a PS3, a Wii, and this Xbox 360. By far the best for gaming is the 360. My wife plays the Wii, I play the 360, and we use the PS3 for media and movies. I don't like playstation controllers so I cant stand playing games on it. I love the 360 for gaming though. This Holiday bundle could have come with some better games but maybe they are marketing it to kids and that is why they chose these games. Christmas is coming up and every kid who doesn't have a 360 will want one. With the holiday bundle you are guaranteed to get the newest version of the xbox which is supposed to be less likely to get the dreaded RROD. So fingers crossed I hope it lasts forever and never dies on me, but for right now I am enjoying this system a lot. Only negative thing I have to say about it is that it didn't even come with component cables, only that yellow video cable which sucks, you will want the component or an HDMI cable to get hi def gaming. |
