Customer Review: Better Than The Pro
The arcade is better than the core and comes with a 256mb memory card which is enough to save games and if your not going online then this the console for you. If you do need a bit more space you can buy a memory card 64mb, 256mb or 512mb or just get a hard drive from ?50 which is 20gb or ?100 for the 120gb (in my mind to much memory). Also dont worry about the red ring of death if you keep your 360 in a well ventilated area and give it breaks when it gets hot you wont have to worry.

Top Games:

Saints Row, Command and Conquer 3, Halo 3, Fifa 08, The Simpsons Game

All in all a very good console better than the PS3 which i also have so enjoy your gaming.

Customer Review: ay currumbah that’s good
a lot of people with misguided views have said that the simpsons game is boring and frustrating, i asure you they are wrong. with entertaining levels and the comic guy’s cliches such as ‘ah the crate as seen in everything’ you can play as, marge, homer, lisa and bart all of which have their own unique powers such as lisa’s hand of buddah or homer’s ability to turn into an imorphos blob. all in all a brilliant game buy it, buy it, BUY IT!!!
Customer Review: Good humor, frustrating game play
I would say the humor in this game is very funny, orignal fun jokes. The gameplay is frustrating, playing the same part over and over again. The camera is awful. It hard to recommend this game, the humor is good but i was finding myself too annoyed with the game to enjoy it.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: Official Game Guide for PC and Xbox 360 (Prima Official Game Guides)
List Price: ?12.99
Used Price: ?13.99
Customer Review: Very helpful
I don’t usually buy guides but i liked the game so much that i wanted to make sure i’ve completed and found everything and without this book (plus the bethesda forum) I never would have been able to do that. This guide is very detailed and i recommend it to anyone that has the game.
Customer Review: One of the best game guides i’ve ever purchased!!!
The book is huge, it must be like 300 pages long.It is really helpful,it tells you all about stats to begin with but then about 60 pages in it starts to talk about the main quest.After that it tells you how to complete all the other quests(guild quests,freeform quests…).This book is really helpful, if you are stuck on Oblivion you need to get this.Essential.

Xbox 360 HD DVD Player (Xbox 360) Customer Review: PAIRED WITH A 360 ELITE, THIS IS JUST AS GOOD AS A TOSHIBA HD-XE1 !
I got into HD movies with a Toshiba HD-XE1, which cost me ?450. Having just upgraded our original XBOX 360 to an Elite (mainly because, as a Vista Media Centre Extender, the Elite is MUCH quieter than the original 360), I couldn’t resist buying this 360 HD drive. Bottom Line? I’m selling the Tosh because I find the output of th XBOX HD drive is JUST AS GOOD, through either my Panasonic HD projector or Sharp HD TV. The pairing of this drive with the 360 Elite using HDMI to connect to a decent display is just perfect. This is a great Home Cinema solution, particularly as the Elite doesn’t sound like a jet engine as the old 360 did. I’m delighted!
Customer Review: HD made easy
Put simply, the hd add on for the 360 is great. Simply plug the player into a usb port on the console and install the disk. Comparing the price to an independant hd player makes the add on a superb buy, any 360 owner should seriously think about getting one. But, you will have to download updates from microsoft. Anyone not online will have to be prepared to have the odd dvd that won’t play.
