Xbox 360 Console 2009 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of all, the important details for people wanting the tech specs:

(1) Yes, this is Jasper, which is a lower power (energy usage, not processing power) revision of Xbox 360 that was released late last year for Arcade models.This seems to be the first Elite range with the new, more efficient chips.

(2) It does NOT appear to have the 256MB on-board Flash Ram.Many theorized that MS would include this on Jasper Elites (and Pros) so that they wouldn't have to have two different motherboards.This does not appear to be the case though.This has little effect on the usage of the system though... in fact, I prefer it as I have no need for the extra storage device to always show up when downloading and copying (I use two external memory units as is for profile portability, which wouldn't be provided by internal flash RAM anyway).

This is IMO the best way to go for an Xbox 360 right now, especially if you have any interest in Resident Evil 5 (a full copy of which is included with this system, including the game case).It also comes with a free downloadable copy of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, which is a great game (though I already own a copy of it).Capcom is the best!

The system and controller are a nice shade of red.The original photos made it look a bit bright and gaudy, but the actual unit seems much more subdued and a bit darker shade.I don't have the previously released red controller, but this looks like the same shade of red to me.

Runs cooler and quieter than any of my other three Xboxes (2 Zephyrs and 1 Falcon, FYI only 1 RROD so far for me and it was the Falcon!).

I highly recommend the Elite because the 120GB drive is big enough that you can fully install all of your games rather than playing them off the discs.This is much quieter while playing (360s spin the DVD drive so fast that it gets quite loud) and a bit faster, too.

The Arcade is a great value, but I guarantee once you try installing games to HD you will wish you could do it for them all.
