My first opportunity to use a console of this caliber. I am content with the decision I made. I have never once felt regret over the money that I have spent, and I am quite certain that this sentiment will never cross my mind again. I haven't played Sonya 3 (so I have nothing to compare it to), but if I had to recommend one console over the other, it would be the Xbox 360 Slim (250 GB). Trust me, you won't be sorry you made the purchase. Got pros: Long decided to stop at the first option after choosing between Box and Sonya 3. Yuzayu has passed three days, and everything is proceeding normally with the flight. The graphics are excellent (I don't understand those who complain!), and the console is virtually silent (I really haven't tried it with a disk, because I still play GOD games from a flash drive). Xbox Live may have some advantages, but since I don't find anything in it to be necessary for myself, I haven't used it (I will definitely do the firmware, and I have already collected a collection of Russified games prepared for recording on disks). Gamepads are designed to be held comfortably in one hand. (I just didn't calculate with the free space in front of the TV to play with it - so if someone doesn't have this, take only the console for now, and after rearranging the room, buy more Kinect. I took the kit right away with Kinect - while it is gathering dust and periodically nodding))) (I just didn't calculate with the free space in front of the TV to play with it. Someone has expressed concern about the absence of a Blue-Ray drive, but in my opinion, there is no requirement for its presence here. If someone enjoys watching movies of a high definition (HD) quality, they should consider purchasing a media player on their own. There is a wide variety of media players currently available for purchase. Having this drawback: The first is a shiny surface, which becomes dirty extremely quickly and can be a minor annoyance.
