Review on Enhanced Gaming Experience with Xbox 360 250GB Console by Mateusz Biakowski ᠌
A little bit not what I expected, generally fine.
I myself have a PS 3 and an X-box and a powerful PC, so I can make a general, more or less informed opinion in all gaming systems. I am not without a tower Sonyboy or Billiboy. Objectively, Xbox is better to use for playing console exclusives that do not come out on a PC. The graphics are objectively better than on the PS3 - better textures, there is some kind of anti-aliasing. 1080p is not displayed, like PS 3. Exclusives are quite an amateur and there are few of them. I won’t say anything about the gamepad, because. it's a matter of personal convenience. For me, the Xbox gamepad is large and heavy, the sticks are tight. The SixAxis doesn't have these problems, but it may seem small to many and has terrible triggers. Very angry regional restrictions in Live. We, in 2022, pay more for it than in the United States, but they spit in our faces, forbidding us to buy games at prices that are often even higher than the global ones (the price of MC points). Saves Xbox only Kinect. Despite some glitches, this is a very fun thing that will give new sensations even to gamers. And for families with children, this is a real must have. In general, for a multiplatform, it is better to choose a PC, for exclusives, PS 3 is better. Xbox can be taken, either because of the kinect, or because of a personal love for its exclusives - Halo, Gears of War, Fable, Forza, PGR.
- 1) Very quiet. Cooler is not heard. 2) Nice appearance, matte finish. 3) The best achievement system on the current generation of systems. They really want to do it. 4) Guaranteed availability of achievements in any game - remake, re-release, etc. 5) Kinect. The thing is not without problems, it has disadvantages, but it is simply ideal for families with children. It is bought separately or buy a complete set with a kinekt. 6) The graphics in the multiplatform are better than on PS 3, but the computer is the same as the moon.
- 1) Always buggy Xbox Live! Once a day, it is guaranteed to be kicked out of the account. The box is connected via a WiFi router, and PS 3, PSP and laptop work on it. There are no such problems with them, the Internet is perfect. 2) No worthwhile exclusives. The Halo and GoW series are very ambiguous and if you are not a complete Billyboy, then there is no guarantee that you will like them. In addition, the genre of shooters is clearly not a specialization of consoles. In terms of high-quality exclusives, PS 3 will do boxing without any problems. 3) Paid Gold account in Xbox Live! In fact, a gold subscription is just an opportunity to play multiplayer. And for this opportunity, they ask us for almost 2022 per year. On PC or PS3 multiplayer is absolutely free! 4) Gamepads run on batteries. It's almost 2022, and Microsoft has battery-operated gamepads! No, of course there is a battery, but you will have to pay about 800. or, change the batteries about once a month or a little more often. At the same time, the gamepad will weigh about 290g. A long game with such a kettlebell will not be very comfortable. The same SixAxis weighs about 170 grams. and has a built-in battery. 5) Incomprehensible regional restrictions in Live for 2022, its general castration and lack of development on the territory of 2022. For some reason, a huge number of games are not available to us, both from the category of GoD and from Xbox Live! Arcade, like Contra, TMNT 1989 arcade, Sonic the Hedgehog, Yie Ar Kung-Fu, which we remember from Dandy and childhood, as well as newer ones - Retro City Rampage, Bully, etc. Moreover, prices in 2022 for Life, discs and MS Points are higher than in the world and the reason for this discrimination is not clear. 5) Unreasonably high prices for accessories, peripherals and the games themselves. Although the price of games can be quite low, it depends on the statute of limitations for the release of the game and the markup of the outlet. 6) Touch ons on / off the console and DVD drive. If the console is in a busy area, one touch on the console can knock it out. This is inconvenient and creates problems. 6) Huge power supply.
