Xbox 360 Hardware Review

January 9th 2006 | Games Consoles

Despite the fact that many feel the Xbox 360 has rushed the switch to the next generation, it’s the combination of its sleek design, HD support, superb dashboard setup and wonderfully integrated Live features that just about pull it off in terms of the hardware feeling like a next gen console.

There are still a few complaints to be had at this moment in time though. Backwards compatibility is currently a mess and the downloads really need tidying up in the Marketplace (having to scroll through dozens and dozen of EA NBA themes at the moment just isn’t practical), but for the most part Microsoft have got it right.
