Microsoft Xbox 360 Pro System Xbox 360 60GB Holiday Bundle includes Lego Indiana Jones and Kung Fu Panda
Amazon.com Product Description
Xbox 360 sets a new pace for digital entertainment. More than just a cutting-edge game system, Xbox 360 also integrates high-definition video, DVD movie playback, digital music, photos, and online connectivity into one sleek, small tower, and in the process puts true Next-Gen power right at your fingertips.  | | Xbox 360, shown with wireless controller, is a sleek, customizable gaming and entertainment system | Under the Hood
Xbox 360 is much smaller than its predecessor--it measures approximately 3.3 by 12.2 by 10.2 inches and weighs 7.7 lbs. It's powered by custom IBM PowerPC-based CPU with three symmetrical cores each running at 3.2 GHz. It also carries a custom ATI graphics processor loaded with 10 MB of embedded DRAM, 48-way parallel floating-point dynamically scheduled shader pipelines and Unified shader architecture. This is powerful enough to draw 500 million triangles per second. In other words, it makes for great looking games in standard TV definition, and even better thanks to built-in support for HDTV 1080i televisions. It also supports the widescreen 16:9 format. The unit has a 12x dual-layer DVD-ROM drive, which plays both the game media and progressive-scan DVD movies right out of the box. For game-save and media storage, users can choose between the detachable and upgradeable 60GB hard drive, or a separately sold 64MB flash Memory Unit. Along with storing files, the hard drive will make the Xbox 360 backward-compatible with part of the existing Xbox game library. Control your Gameplay
Xbox 360 uses a refined button layout for its controllers. Back and Start buttons sit at the center of the controller and between them is a new Xbox Guide button, which instantly takes the user to the Xbox 360 user interface. From there, they can check for friends online, access personal digital content like photos and songs, and more. The black and white buttons of the first Xbox controllers have been replaced with new shoulder buttons placed above the left and right triggers. Xbox 360 can accommodate up to four wireless controllers and has three USB 2.0 slots to use for wired controllers or for streaming your digital media from digital cameras, MP3 players, and any Windows XP-based PC. Microsoft has also created a video-conferencing camera, sold separately, that will work with the system.  | | Xbox 360 can manage your games, your online friends, and your personal digital library | 
The Media Experience
All Xbox 360 titles can be played in either standard or high-definition resolution in 16:9 widescreen, with anti-aliasing for smoother graphics. Game designers will be able to take advantage of the system's multi-channel surround sound. The Xbox 360's digital media allows users to supplement any game's music from tracks in their own personal library. Go Live
A built-in Ethernet port allows users to connect their system to a broadband connection for access to Xbox Live. The Xbox Live Silver Membership included with the console lets anyone create a Gamertag and gamer card to express your online identity, chat live with voice chat, and connect to the Xbox Live Marketplace to buy expansions, maps, and other digital items for your games. You can also update to a Xbox Live Gold Membership at anytime for even more benefits. The separately sold wireless adapter supports the common 802.11a, -b, and -g standards.

Where to start? I've always played my cousins PS3 since it has come out all the good games warhawk/resistance/Cod4/MotorStorm etc. But I really liked the 360 since all the Star Wars games come out for it and most of the good RPG's Oblivion/FableII/Lego Star Wars etc. The game selection is just sheer brilliance so is the PS3 but the 360 has games that suit what I like playing much more.
I ordered from Amazon 10/19/08 and had a little bit of difficulty with UPS delivering my package so it is not fault of Amazon it got here today 10/23/08 when it was suppose to come 10/21/08. When I started unpacking the 360 i saw it was sealed in plastic ontop of a piece of cardboard. The box was big enough for the 360 to shake around though. Brings everything Amazon described and I'm actually happy Amazon is up to date with it's 360's my was manufactured on 9-11-08 may be a Jasper or Falcon whichever it is, It runs much quieter then the first 20GB 360 I bought off Ebay which was from 2006 horribly loud machine it RROD seconds when I unpacked it though I blame it being old pretty old and plain bad luck.
I've been playing Soul Calibur IV with my cousin and we are hooked. The 360 comes with 48.8GB free of space from it's advertised 60GB because of demos installed and such. It's VERY quiet when your not playing a game so you can play music and whatever without it overcoming the music that you have to raise the volume to cancel it out. Even then it's still un-noticeable unless you mute the TV but it's just a hummmmmmmm. So far I love the interface it's great but I personally prefer the PS3's a little bit more organized and simpler.
Controllers are fantastic much better feeling then PS3 controllers and have more weight to it which is a plus adds to it's durability. Though i have a small complaint with the Xbox360 ingame keyboard arranged in ABCDEFG instead of the traditional keyboard... if anyone knows how to change that comment please :). The 360 came with a 175Watt brick but that doesn't mean it can't *possibly* be a Jasper re-model if a computer only needs 125w doesn't mean the 175w/203w can't feed it. The Lego game is actually very fun and the Kungfu panda game reminds me of the old Spyro games on the PS2. I really recommend you buy the Xbox360 from Amazon if you are indeed looking out for one, you can be sure it's a recent model from September unlike other stores where you'd have to hunt for them.
Thanks for reading.
 PS3/XBOX360 Objective Comparison October 30, 2008

Reliability:
I own a video game store. One of the services that we provide is various repairs on most game consoles. In the last year, I have performed around 60 individual XBOX 360 repairs compared to 0 (zero) PS3 repairs. PS3 Wins Hands Down
Compatability:
The 60GB version of the PS3 is FULLY backwards compatible with PS2 and most PS 1 games. The new 80GB version has some limited backwards compatability. The 40GB version has no backwards compatability. All versions of the 360 (Arcade, Pro and Elite) have the same limited backwards compatability. At least PS3 has a version that is fully backwards compatable. PS3 WINS
Value:
The new 80GB version of the PS3 retails for $399.00. This includes an 80GB hard drive (obviously), built in Bluetooth, and built in WIFI. Oh and lets not forget that the DVD player in the PS3 will play all of your regular AND Blu-Ray DVDs. The lowest cost 360 is the Arcade version that retails for around $199. This version does not come with a hard drive which will cost you around $100 for 60GB, nor does it have built in WIFI. The WIFI adapter retails for around $100 also. So for $399 you essentially get 20GB less storage...oh and NO BLU RAY!!! PS3 WINS
Game Selection:
Let's say that most games nowadays are released on both PS3 and 360, but there are some titles that are exclusive to each. Some of the hotest exclusive titles are:
PS3 - Metal Gear Solid, SOCOM, Little Big Planet, Resistance 2
360 - Fable II, Gears of War 2 and of course Halo 3
Overall, since the 360 has been around for a few more years, there are more titles available, but some of the most popular like BioShock have been ported over now to the PS3...most of the others will follow suit (except Halo which will probably always be a 360 only title). 360 WINS (but not for very much longer)
So of the 3 main decision points as to which console to purchase. PS3 scored 3 out of 4 to the 360's score of 1 out of 4.
Let me also say that I make more money selling the 360 because of all of the periphery that you have to buy along with it (more margin in accessories) so I hope people continue to go in that direction. However, when viewed objectively, the PS3 is clearly the way to go.
 Buy at your own risk. October 23, 2008

After reporting a red light of death to the customer service department, a known problem with this system, I waited 3 weeks to receive a replacement box. Upon turning it on, it showed the same red light of death. Again I called customer service and returned the box, and for a 2nd time I waited 3 weeks to receive the repaired box. Today, I received it, and with no surprise, it still had the red light of death upon being turned on. Calling customer service yet again, I learned from a supervisor it could be the power supply instead of the box, that I need to send them the broken box (again) and the power supply. Jay, the Customer Service Supervisor, also stated that a power supply is deemed an accessory and that Microsoft policy states customers have to pay to ship those materials themselves. So, I am out a box and power supply for at least 3 weeks, and will need to pay for the shipping of the parts myself so that they can fix a "known problem." I love the game system, but the service has been less than helpful, each of the 4 times I have needed them to address this same issue. I recommend a different system if you suspect you might ever need assistance.
No heat issues, more storage, and free games! November 2, 2008

Ok so unless you're a young child, Kung Fu Panda may not appeal to you. I haven't played it yet but am keeping it for my young niece and nephew. But I do believe the Lego game can be enjoyed by all ages. The Lego Star Wars game was very fun and a clever way to reproduce a movie with some extra latitude.
I had a 20GB 360 about a year ago. That thing would overheat (but not die) unless I had it in a vertical position, angled just right so most of the bottom was unsupported. I didn't have HD at the time and wasn't finding a lot of games that I like so I sold it. But now that I have a big screen HD, and many games have come out, I bought this holiday set. I probably would have bought the Lego game by itself so this was a treat.
I almost bought the Arcade version but knew that I'd need a hard drive for game demos and saves.
The two games are in the same case and I almost thought they weren't in the box! The game case is stored on the inside of one of the walls of box. I seriously thought I got shorted the games until I finally ripped the box apart more.
All in all this was a great purchase. I have the unit horizontal on a table with no heat issues at all. The power supply is orange/amber when not in use, which I thought meant something was wrong, but it just means standby.
If you're in the market for a new 360 you'd be almost nuts to pass this bundle up - much better than last years. The Marvel game had last-gen graphics and the racing game was forgettable. I can't wait to play Lego Indiana Jones!
It will destroy your disks if you are not careful November 16, 2008

I have owned portable CD-ROM players, laptops with DVD players built in, and gaming machines. I have **never** had a disk scratched by one of these players. The Xbox destroyed the first two disks we put into it because we touched the console while it was playing. (I was responsible for the first ruined disk. My sons were mad at me. Ten minutes later one of them ruined a disk!) We've had a gamecube and a Wii and never a problem.
The game store clerks are familiar with this and told us that the only hope is to find a store that does professional disk refinishing (he said the scratch filler they sell won't do the job). The game manufacturers will not swap out a scratched disk.
Leave it to Microsoft. Build a nice gaming console that also destroys your disks. A web search verifies that this has been a problem for over a year and that Microsoft does not consider it a defect.
You've been warned.
