UK Xbox 360 launch review

Colours bled everywhere, games were upscaled horrendously... the whole visual experience was frankly no better than the first Xbox. We'd go so far as to say that if you are limited to hooking up your 360 via SCART or composite in standard definition (eg with a 'normal' TV), don't even bother buying it. It looks bad." There is no one stand-out game in the launch lineup; there is no Halo for this generation of Xbox. Project Gotham Racing 3 comes very close, but ultimately is let down by the hype it generated for itself beforehand, and the fact that there's very little new in terms of gameplay; it is but Gotham 2 with nicer graphics. However, what you do have in the launch lineup is a range of games that are all brilliant, if not exceptional. Buy PDZ, PGR and Kameo and you won't need to do anything else for a couple of months at least - there's certainly nothing better out on the PC at the moment. Full Story at bit-tech [/size]

Inside the very nice packaging you’ll find the X360 itself, complete with the 20GB (removable) hard disk attached. You also get a wireless controller, an HD ready component video cable - this will also carry composite video for those with normal TVs, a SCART adapter, a remote control - complete with Media Center button, a headset for Xbox Live use and four AA batteries. For £279.99 that’s a pretty good bundle. Full Story at TrustedReviews
