I am as many people would call me a Xbox 360 fan boy but I do have the other two so at least I can actually compare them personally. Although the Xbox is my fabourite it certainly doesnt mean that the console wasnt released with a few problems, many of which still exist.
I am still using my 20GB original console which I managed to pick up the month it was released which was very nice indeed, I also got two games with it. I was stuck with Kameo and King Kong as my very first two games for the console on a small tv which has now all changed. The only reason people buy King Kong now is to get the easy achievement points from and Kameo is always seen coming in at around £10. Of course a lot of games go down in price overtime because they are now made in such large quantities.
The games are simply brilliant, it seems to be the console that poses a problem. The three rings of death or three red rings is a term that angers many of the Xbox community as it is such a pain in the arse when it happens, if you are not familar with the term it means the console is pretty much broken unless you send it off for repair.
Even the new Elites have not been fixed as many are still experiencing these problems, I myself have been through two repairs with my original console. The problem is that there are not enough fans within the console to keep it cool which is what makes the soldering melt and destroy the motherboard. You can fix the console for a short time by wrapping it in a wet towel, this will cool down the inside and keep it up and running, this tend to only work for a day or two at the most.
Why not put more fans into the system? There is already an issue with the loudness of the console, adding more fans could really cause another problem. So what is likely to happen is that we are going to have to wait until the next console release for the problem to be sorted. The repair service is free within three years purchase which is nice and it hasn’t stopped me from ordering my brand new 250GB special edition “super” elite.
It is funny how far ac fans and a few electrical components can go isn’t it?

Hockey has without doubt been popular and NHL 10 from EA Sports is all set to become a enormously big seller. The graphics are top of the line, the frozen ice looks perfect and the game comes with a new feature where the player can be a general manager. Gamers can locate their rivals on the board all to the background music of metal, punk and alternative rock bands.
The recently launched Guitar Hero 5 is all set to keep alive the Guitar Hero popularity during the festive season this year at great PS3 cheap prices. In reality, shoppers are purchasing the game early in case it has gone out of stock. It makes a difference because the early birds also obtain a promotional copy of Guitar Hero: Van Halen, a new game in the series that is yet to be on the shopshelves.
You should also have a glimpse at Cross Edge which is beginning to be very well-known among Playstation 3 users. This comes in the essential Japanese anime or animation tradition and it revolves around the story of defending souls. The fights are turn-based and this gives it a feel that it is very authentic. There are special selections in the game which play a major say in its popularity. There is a lot of Oriental costume play, also called cosplay, relating to the anime and manga people. The females in the game are dressed in many unusual costumes.
The PlayStation 3 console, when it was built, took into account diverse tastes and varied people so the appeal would be larger. Considering various tastes in mind, there are many different releases. This Christmas, it looks like these games may appear right at the forefront of many shoppers’ lists. To learn more, go to PS3 Game Reviews.
