Xbox 8 GB Charcoal Black Gaming Console

Strengths: It is the fastest and best all around system ever!

Weakness: Needs more games, but that is already happening

Well, the system is large, but it's not like I carry it around with me, so I don't mind that. The controller is fairly large, but it has a nice feel. The graphics are the best, I would recommend this system to anyone.

Xbox 8 GB Charcoal Black Gaming Console

Strengths: Most powerful gaming console on the markey. Very Ergonomic controller (The original one.)

Weakness: Currently, few good titles on the market, but by this christmas, there should be over 300.

This system has been criticized for being large and ugly. But who cares, it packs a lot of power. Unless you are going to hang it on the wall, who cares what it looks like. The graphics are amazing. This can be seen especially in games like DOA 3 and Project Gotham racing. It's very beautiful to see hair and clothes swaying as the character moves, or the see that metal really shimmers as it's...

Xbox 8 GB Charcoal Black Gaming Console

Strengths: Very powerful, 3 times stronger than ps2, the original controller let my fingers fall naturally on the buttons Built in hard drive with 50,000+ blocks of free space! Games look beautiful.

Weakness: Lack of games, but the new line up looks promising. Never scratches cd's or overheats, my room stays cool when it is on. (very small room) Four controller ports.

What's with all this flack on the xbox? Don't listen to all the ps2 groupies' lies. Replies to ps2 groupy complaints about the ultrabox. "The xbox is too big." - Unless you live in a shoebox the size is fine and is big to hold all the cool stuff in it. "The colors are gay." - So, that's why you buy gaming systems? To hang it on the wall? So, the colors are different, probably because microsoft...

Xbox 8 GB Charcoal Black Gaming Console

Strengths: Superior graphic capabilities, excellent online play, great games, hard drive for saving games and music onto

Weakness: Rather large,has a lower selection of games when compared to the Playstation 2.

I can say that, without a doubt, the XBox is the best console out there to date. The other consoles are all great, but there is something special about the XBox that makes it stand out from them. Maybe it is its amazing online capabilities, maybe it is because of its excellent games (Halo, Knights of the Old Republic, Fable etc). I would recommend an XBox to any fan of gaming. P.S. If you are...

Xbox 8 GB Charcoal Black Gaming Console

Strengths: Best graphics out of all the systems, some really good games, best online program, and a hardrive.

Weakness: You have to buy a $30 kit to play DVDs. A few really crappy games

Xbox had a bad start with only a few of games worth buying at the premere of the system. Even though thouse few games were extreamly good, it got alot of bad reviews. The system is starting show how good it can become with some great games coming out soon. It seams that that mostly pretty much everybody said it was good exsept the people who had it stop working. I never had this happen to me or...

Weakness: NOT EVEN A SINGLE

THE BEST THING A GAMER CAN GET.BETTER GRAPHICS COMPARED TO PS2 AND GC.I'M SURPRISED WHY YOU PEOPLE RATE XBOX'S DVD PLAY KIT AS A WEAKNESS?OK IT CAN'T PLAY DVD WITHOUT THE KIT BUT CAN YOU WATCH DVD COMFORTABLY SITTING IN A SOFA WITHOUT DVD REMOTE?OR YOU WILL BE MESSING WITH DUALSHOCKS IN YOUR ROOM AS IN THE CASE OF PS2?XBOX'S DVD REMOTE IS A GEM- FRIENDS.

Xbox 8 GB Charcoal Black Gaming Console

Strengths: A powerful gaming computer with incredible graphics for less than $180. Constant stream of new titles. Good "classic" title now selling for half the original price or less. Can also play DVDs.

Weakness: Only comes with one controller. Included games (Tetris World and Star Wars: Attack of the Clones) pretty much worthless.Small built-in 10 gigabyte hard drive.

The other gaming consoles don't even come close to the power of this amazing gaming console from Microsoft; especially now that they are selling for $179.99. The PS2 may have more titles but the number of Xbox titles is growing exponentially. And you can also play your DVDs in this console (you can add an IR receiver/remote for $29.99 if you must absolutely have a remote control.
