Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite System - 120 GB Black

I bought the XBOX Elite because of the 120 gig hard drive, the HDMI interface, and because I liked the HD DVD capability. Due to my lack of research I found that unlike the Playstation 3 which I also own the XBOX does not play the HD DVD you have to buy another deck. That outs it right up there in price with the PS3. I could have bought a HD DVD player for less but the XBOX does so much more ie)MP3, photo displays, xbox line and it plays the games, everything as high as 1080p resolution if you have a HDTV. So the only dislike I have about it would be the need to go and buy another disc player to play the HDDVD. The PS3 plays BluRays right out of the box. I don't play games much but my son and grand son do and other people that visit the cost of both the PS3 and the XBOX 360 combined is comparable to the price of the new LG DVD player that plays both formats plus you get the games so that made this a more bang for the buck purchase for me. It is very user friendly, more so than PS3 and I really like the onscreen dashboard feature as a big part of that user friendly rating. The universal media remote is another great feature, it too is much better that the PS3. As for over all performance and the resolution on games the nod has to go to the PS3 but I am very pleased with both. I bought both on ebay and I did because they weren't available in this area except at exorbitant prices and I did better than retail on the XBOX369 which was new purchase and better than retail on a package deal for the PS3.

I like them both abd both purchases went very well through ebay.
