 Halo 3 March 29, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Easily one of the finest video games ever made. Halo 3 combines an easily adaptable interface with a fantastic back-story, not to mention complemented by some of the best graphics on the market. I recommend this game to anyone, regardless of gaming interest or experience.
Love how it is loved. =D March 28, 2008
This was my Christmas present to my hubby. He comments that the graphics is so much better than the other consoles'. Although he did not really play the games that came in the bundle, he still loves his new toy.
Unfortunately, in a study conducted by game developers, the 360 consumes more energy/ electricity than the other consoles. Even if it's on standby mode, or in other words, turned off, it continuously uses up energy because of the remote access feature via the wireless controller.
Anyway, this was delivered in time, despite the Christmas rush. Thanks Amazon, you never fail me. =]
 My experience with Xbox 360 March 24, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
First of all I'd like to mention the fact that I owned the original Xbox for years until now, to me, it was the greatest video game console I have ever played (being a videogamer since the Atari 2600 times). It had great games (Battlefront, Ninja Gaiden, Prince of Persia trilogy, etc) and cool features and so far I had not even thought about moving to 360 since I still had pending games for the original Xbox. That changed when it was announced that Ninja Gaiden 2 would be released exclusively for the Xbox 360, me being a huge fan of the original Ninja Gaiden and given that Xbox games can be played by the Xbox 360 console, decided to sell my old unit and order the new 360 so I cold get Ninja Gaiden 2 when released on April.
I ordered from Amazon the console on January and it arrived on the 27th, everything seemed to be in place, I came to love Forza 2 and played a little my old games, I really didn't use the console that much since my newborn son wouldn't allow me to. Things started to go wrong when Ninja Gaiden's release date was moved from April to May, then from May to June. Amazon would do a great job informing me of the changes (as I had pre-ordered the game) and ask me if I still wanted to buy the item given the date change. I then decided to buy a 360 game to play and utilize the new features of my Xbox and I got Call of Duty 4. The game was terrific and I quickly became addict to it, I then started to use the console more often. About three weeks ago, I came home from the office and turned on the console, the disc tray made a strange noise and there seemed to be no disc on it as the dashboard had the `Open Tray' text in it, I was almost certain I hadn't removed the game so I checked, the game was indeed in the tray, the console would simply not recognize a disc in it. I tried CDs, DVDs and other games and got the same result, no disc was recognized at all and the tray made noises every time I opened/closed it.
The console had a warranty note asking you not to go back to the retailer in a case like this as they may not be `as well prepared as their technicians' and contact their support center instead. I did that and after waiting on the line for a while a person finally answered, I had to struggle with them as they could barely speak English, since I do speak Spanish I tried to make it easier for the guy, I don't know which part of south America they're from but even in Spanish I had a hard time understanding what he was saying and had the guy repeat almost everything he said. This person asked me to contact my supplier first and see if warranty applied (even though the warranty info on the box asks you to go to Microsoft first), the reason for that he said, was that the supplier could simply change the unit and provide me with a new one. He told me I could mail them my console to fix it, but if that were the case, it was likely that they would simply replace the disc drive with a used one, if the console need to be changed, they could mail me back a refurbished one at the risk of it being an older unit without the features of the one I purchased (of course, had I purchased their extended service contract they would `gladly' send me a new unit free of charge). After spending $349 in a videogame console and with only 1 month of use I found this unacceptable and could not believe a Microsoft representative would tell me that. I went into the Xbox 360 official website and was able to find document number 910798, which explained some potential resolutions to my problem (none of them mentioned by the rep I talked to on the phone), none of them worked and the last option was to submit the console for them to check it. While surfing on their site I found that there are so many users having this and so many other problems that made me wonder if I wanted to keep the console. After telling some of my friends of my experience I found out that most of the ones who own an Xbox 360 have had problems at some point and have had to mail them to be fixed (one of them has had to ship it three time already)
After all these problems I simply decided I did not want to keep the console, Amazon would accept the return after their 30-day return period but would refund an 80% of what I paid. So I shipped the unit back to them and am waiting for my refund. So far, what should have been a better gaming experience has cost me $70 I will not get from the return, $59 of a videogame I will not play anymore, $19 of a battery I had to buy for the control, $30 of the shipping charges and my old Xbox unit. You'd think that after paying all this money for their product you would expect quality (not only of the product but their service as well); to me this was nothing but a waste of my time and money.
I'd like to think I simply had bad luck but after reading in their own web site I can tell they are having lots of problems with these units, my dad who is a sales manager at a retailer store told me customers return these consoles all the time.
How did the Xbox turn into this? I don't know really... Word of advice, if you already have the old Xbox do not sell it (I regret I did with mine) and if you're thinking about buying this, reconsider your options and think if this is what you want.
They're USED!!!! BEWARE March 22, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I just picked this bundle up 2 weeks ago from Amazon and opened the shipment yesterday only to find a USED system which was missing the Forza 2 game as well. This is inexcusable and something I've been hearing is becoming a common thing with Amazon, but would never have guessed it was truly accurate until now.
By the way, this was suppose to be a birthday gift that now will have to be substituted with something else because, you guessed it, THEY'RE OUT! The two customer service reps manning the phones in INDIA couldn't help the situation either! IMAGINE THAT.
The Falcon has landed - Want to know if you got the 65nm? March 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Just got my XBOX360 PRO, love it! If you want to know if you've got the 65nm process in your new 360 with out opening it up here's how! All you have to do is read the back of the power brick, if it says its got 175w then guess what?
Yep, you've ABSOLUTELY got the latest revision 360 with the Benq drive (the best drive ever for 360) not to mention the 65nm CPU/GPU and cooler running memory. If you're asking your self "what does all this really mean to me" I'll tell you.
With the new version of 360's they will have faster response rates, run(very)cool and last but not lease they will no long over heat which basically means trouble free gaming! So if you wanted an Xbox360 but haven't got one yet, now is the time! Even if you already own one trade it in for store credit and get this latest revised version...its worth every penny!
