The graphics are amazing, colors, paints are all at a high level, you can play both live and at home with friends. Live is paid, but it’s a plus - fewer American children scream into the microphone with obscenities like on ps3, I think everyone who buys a console is able to pay an annual Live subscription for 1500 and it’s worth it, I don’t understand those who flash the console, because Live is early or late they will be turned off, and all the charm of the console disappears. Every work should be paid, and Microsoft's policy is correct, if you don't want to pay for games, sit and play with yourself downloaded games on blanks. Respect the work of others, developers spend a year or even more on a good game. Games cost from 1000-3000, but you live in big cities, there is a chance to order on the Internet, exchange with comrades, or buy a used one (generally a penny). I approach the choice of games carefully, I have 6 licensed games so far, but the collection will be replenished soon. Comparing xbox and ps3, I didn’t need blue ray, I don’t watch movies on the console, the joystick is much more comfortable on xbox, live is a great thing, more adequate gamers rather than American shkoloty as on PS3. The console is worth taking 100%. Happy shopping, I hope my review helped.
