 Want the latest console? Here's how to get it for a fiver November 21, 2008
Christmas is coming so save your cash! Why purchase something you can get for a fiver.
Go to consolegifts.net and sign up. Complete ONE offer- I would recommend Gala Bingo (you know, the one Sharon Osborne advertises for on tv),as this is cheap and fun (and you might win some money in the process!). If you really don't want to spend, there is a free Lovefilm trial.
All companies are well known so there is no risk involved- give it a go! I got my Ipod and many other things this way, so don't miss out.
I was a sceptic once but now I am SO glad I gave it a chance. BBC approved this system on their Newsnight programme a while back.
Many items to choose from; PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, DS Lite or even an PSP.
They send your gift Free of charge
Enjoy!
 Short but Sweet xbox elite vs ps3 October 31, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Brought the xbox elite a couple of days ago and played for a few hours with fable 2. im prety impressed so far. I love the controller its so much better than the ps3. The noise level is high but you do get used to it, however they are bringing out the new dashboard where you can download the games onto the harddrive...and as it is very quiet when not in the game this may work out nicely (as is the case with ps3). Online the xbox wins hands down... i was playing farcry2 on ps3 earlier in the week and online was infuriating!! constantly getting booted off after one game and random disconnections! You cant just play as ps3 game, it has to be installed and what with updates online I sometimes take more time downloading than playing...not good if you have limited time! At least with the xbox you will get a choice as to download to harddrive or not!
If you want to choose the best way is to play both, I was lured in to the ps3 with its next gen boasts but so far no game has really lived up to the promise. The xbox has my vote for now at least!

Had this Elite for about a month now... moved over from the PS3.Hard drive is fantastic (120GIG), more than enough room to play with for downloading game demos and movies etc from the Xbox Live Network. HDMI audio/Video output is a must nowadays, pixel perfect images almost real!The Controller (wireless) included has a nice feel to it, although it does come with 2 AA Batteries I would recommend purchasing the official Charge and play kit, will save you in the long run. Included headset is ok.. not the best quality in the world but does the job :)Another plus point regarding the 120GB Hard-drive is we are shortly due a major update on the Xbox 360 (Mid November 08), this new update will allow the installation of your games on the Hard drive... which inturn solves my biggest gripe with the xbox...NOISY DVD ROM DRIVE! so no more constant accessing from the drive!! Hooray!! - Game disc is only required once each play.... just to check you own the original.Graphics in my humble opinion are on par with the PS3, and that's a good thing... so if your thinking of jumping ship towards the Xbox from the PS3.... then do it! you wont regret it.... there is a much wider range of games and they are cheaper too, granted the PS3 network is free, the Xbox 360 network costs between 26 - 40 a year for the gold membership, but there is just so so much more with microsoft.... movies, trailers and thousands of playable demos.
Whilst on the subject of online gaming ... having previously owned the PS3 and thus able to compare the two machines, The 360's online system is far superior to Sony's effort, not so many glitches and lock-ups, and the audio/speaking feature (Headsets) is much clearer.
Well worth the purchase.

Elite console is fantastic, had mine nearly a year. Picture quality is amazing on HDMI compared to my old xbox 360. Massive strorage on the 120GB hard drive and a great looking machine. The Elite XBOX 360 is a better gaming machine then the playstation 3 and has more games and a better range of exclusive XBOX360 only games compared to the PS3
Black is the new white October 26, 2008

This is my pov on the elite, it is quiter compared to the earlier models of 360, it also kicks out a lot less heat which means i worry less about it dying on me within the next year. The noise is due to the dvd drive, it spins constantly at high speed while playing games but is a lot quieter when watching dvd's or watching/playing something on the hard drive.
Come Nov 17 2008 the new dashboard update will allow you to save your games to the hard drive which will cut out the noisey dvd.
The elite is a lot better looking than the white box plus 120gb hd will be soon used up when the new update comes which means those of us who own a 120gb hd will soon be moaning for a larger hd from ms.
I'm very pleased with my elite and cant wait for the update. I'll never buy a white 360 again.
Once you've had black, you'll never go back.
