The controller turns the console on that's quite a nice feature. The touch controls work exactly as you would expect them to, and it makes pretty little dinging sounds when you push a button on the front of the console.
I took apart a broken one, and they're pretty packed full of stuff inside. The unit its self is sleek and stylish, and seems fairly well built. The controller is meaty and solid feel ing, and I like the fact that it uses normal batteries and that they're quick to replace when it dies in the middle of battle. But, the more you play with it, your hands get used to it. A lot of people think it's the most comfortable controller out there, to me it was physically painful to use it for any length of time. The controller takes a little getting used to if you've never used one before.
I gave the racing game to a friend that enjoys them, I switch between PC and Xbox for Skyrim, depending on where I happen to be at the time. I got this holiday bundle that came with a hard drive and a couple games, turned out to be a pretty good idea. I'm a PC gamer, so to me the Xbox is like the PC's awkward cousin that you only invite to parties because your mom makes you.īut, my friends want to play Halo with me. Well, it's an Xbox, what is there to say? I'm also speaking as someone with a first or second generation 360 that I've had to send in 4 times and is having a hell of a time juggling all of the content (XBLA/DLC/demos/etc) on a measly 20GB original hard drive.Its everything you would expect from a modern game console Also, this negates the issue with the console scratching discs.Īs far as the value of this bundle goes, an extra controller (between $30-$40), a copy of MW2 ($60), not to mention the extra hard drive space that, as of now, is exclusive to this bundle, and it all seems like a pretty unbelievable deal to me. With most games being around (or over) 6GB each, and my collection of roughly 40 retail games, I could find a way to quickly make that space disappear. I'm not trying to come off like I'm bragging, just trying to make a point. The space I have left would be devoted to my extensive XBLA collection along with all of the DLC I have. It might seem like unnecessary overkill, but it's a nice feature in my opinion. I, for one, would use most of that 250GBs to burn my whole 360 collection to the HD. Instead of trying to prolong the lifespan of 360, they should just focus on brining a new console next year.one that doesn't scratch your games and have blu-ray. But it will release lots of great games in due time and I like to bet my chances on the most powerful 's even cheaper than this model of 360. Without a doubt, PS3 is the most powerful system, even though it doesn't have the range of games as xbox does.or the online capability.
WTF are you gonna do with 250GB, save hundreds of demos? Or RENT movies? Don't get me wrong, I have an xbox 360 (60GB) and I'm more than happy with it, I'm not a PS3 fanboy but I do like how they enable hardrive upgrade and saving multimedia onto your hardrive.they make FULL use of the space. Last time I checked you CANNOT save any multimedia files from your computer, it's strictly boils down to streaming. But regarding this topic, I really have no clue why Microsoft decided to upgrade the hardrives.
