Iron Man Xbox 360 on Ebay – SlipperyBrick.com

We’ve seen plenty of painted and modded Xbox 360s in our day, even an Xbox 360 laptop, but until now we’ve never seen what Tony Stark’s Xbox 360 looks like.

And thanks to Zachariah Perry Cruse, we now know. it looks just like his armor. the design student spent his summer vacation creating his very own Iron Man Xbox 360. It’s not the slim 360 console, but it has a 120GB hard drive and an HDMI socket. Why not place a bid?

find it here.

Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite 250GB Slim Console with Madden NFL 11 …

Review: Well i can tell you that i had not done much console playing since i had the ps2 slim a while back. I was more into pc gaming every now and then. i was looking into getting a new console, but i was not sure which one to get (ps3 xbox 360 or wii). i did not want to really spend that much money too…nevertheless i did some research and i was sure that i wanted to get a console that could play music games and movies, so i did not go for the wii. it got down to the ps3 and xbox 360, i look online for the best console and that did not help, it was too much battle of the consoles to see which one was the better console, and at the end of all i did not really care i just wanted to play. also i was very worry on all this stuff about over heating ( red ring of death). also it did not help that both systems were at 300 dollars each. I decided to look into what type of games i liked and the fact that i did not owned any blue ray movies, so i went for the xbox 360 for the halo games, and in the end i wanted to give it try since the xbox 360 slim was re-designed.

So at the end i got my xbox 360 slim from amazon, it arrived a week later, it was in excellent condition. the first thing i notice was that i was very small in height and not too fat. I liked that it came with a wireless controller so that was a plus. it came with 250 GB, chating headphones, standard definition cables red white and yellow ,it did not came with HDMI so i just bought one here at amazon for 2 dollars and the image was amazing in my hdtv, i was very surprised that i did not pay too much for a good HDMI. so in overall i spend 302 dollars for the console and hdmi, then i got halo 3 and some movies. I can tell you that this thing is very quiet i could not even hear the disc loading(ps2 slim makes a lot of sound), no fan noise at all, i even dare to say never, i played for like 3 hours and placed my hand next to the console and it was not that hot at all, so i was very happy about that. also i watched movies and it was the same quiet and cool. also i loaded my music into it, and same thing. I also connected the xbox slim to my network it was fast and easy, no signal issues. overall i have used the xbox 360 slim regularly and no problems yet. i am very happy with xbox interface and how you have to navigate through the menu system, straight forward. also the power button and the disc tray have sensors instead of mechanical buttons. also i think the 250 GB is sufficient for me. overall i am very happy with my decision, i very happy with the console, and with the decision to buy the console through amazon. best buy really wanted to cash me out, i am glad i did not buy there.

if had more cash and time to spend, i would try other consoles, for me it was a bit more limited. So i you never owned a newer generation console like me (ps3 xbox 360 or wii) i would recommend to just look at type of gaming you like, because at the end it all about playing and chilling. now if you ask me do i recommend this product? the answer is yes. i like it maybe you will like it too, if not look into something else. the important thing is to not be paranoid and take a calm decision and choose your console. a gamer is a gamer and there is no such thing as a better console (nothing is perfect). I can’t give you any negative comments about the xbox slim 360 because its doing what its supposed to be doing, also just because it does not have blue ray it does not mean its junk, if i wanted that i would just get the ps3. maybe the only bad thing about it is that you have to pay online service, but then again it is only 56 dollars per year which is not bad.

The Reasons Why PS3 Will End Up In last Place This Console …

PS3, the most powerful gaming console on the market has also been the most talked about, ridiculed and damned in this, the seventh generation of consoles.

You remember don’t you? when it launched back in 2006, media outlets big and small had much to say about the black box. would it survive? Most journalists doubted it. Was it too expensive? Most believed it was. Was Blu-ray a waste of time and money, and technology forced down our throats? Again, most, back then, agreed it was.

That same song cannot be sang today, though, because now, with a redesigned console, a cheaper price point and the biggest and broadest exclusive lineup on any console, Sony’s PlayStation 3 has been on a rise. as of now, you’d be hard pressed to find the console in stores; it just won’t stay in stock.

The hardware giant couldn’t be happier with the results, I assume, because analysts were predicting that soon, in the not too distant future, the PS3 would overtake the Xbox 360’s global install base and end the seventh generation console race in second place. And their analysis, though optimistic, was not impossible to achieve at all. in fact it was quite possible. the only regions that Xbox 360 holds a handy lead over the PS3 are US and UK, but the rest of the world is all PS3 domination. this includes Europe, Japan and all emerging markets. But then E32010 came, and what Microsoft revealed at that show changed everything.

Everything. Microsoft’s plan from the beginning of this generation, was to beat Sony by selling more units and having a bigger install base at the end of the race. Redmond knew the PS3 had lasting appeal, and has planned carefully to make sure that, with every step Sony takes, they’re one step in front to assure that the PS3 does not catch up. that was demonstrated at this year’s E3, and I would say, the launch of the Xbox 360 Slim has just guaranteed Microsoft victory.

Now, in almost every department, Microsoft is outselling Sony. Kinect is beating Move, and Xbox 360 S is beating the PS3. from amazon, to global console sales, Microsoft’s new slicker looking black box has just been stumping all over its competition. I get it, though, this momentum is to be expected with every console relaunch, doesn’t matter if it’s Sony, Microsoft of Nintendo. But another factor that one must consider, is the fact that this also stalls Sony’s momentum in many ways.

Microsoft now offers a console with a bigger HDD than that of Sony’s, and at the same price. There’s also built-in WiFi connectivity, and the Xbox 360 arcade units price will once again be reduced, making the Xbox package even more attractive. indeed all over the world, there’s been a substantial rise in Xbox 360 sales. from US to UK (which, by the way, are two of the most important markets), to places like Australia and even Mexico.

The Xbox 360 has at least a 5 million install base lead over the PS3, and although Sony was rejoicing over the recent gains it had made when the PS3 Slim was launched, said rejoicing was short lived. now another strategy must be forged in order for Sony to at least keep up the pace with Microsoft – and I believe they will. But here’s the problem: at this late stage in the game, it doesn’t matter what Sony does, Microsoft will counter with a plan to halt, or at least stall that plan, and this will happen over and over again until this generation has come to an end.

And these are the reasons why the PS3 will end up in last place in this, the seventh generation of consoles. Other reasons are obvious:

To Launch one year later than Microsoft wasn’t a smart move at all; they should have kept it toe-to-toe from the onset. It’s also important to note that the lead Microsoft’s enjoying now is due to it launching the Xbox 360 a full year before Sony released the PS3. that was a great strategy.

Selling a console at $650 at launch and expecting customers to just go out and “get a second job” like Ken Katarugi said, was just arrogant. People didn’t do that; instead they went out and bought Xbox 360s.

The price stayed at $399 for way too long; this should have happened much sooner.

Advertising was also a big let down in the PS3’s early days, with the hardware giant doing little to none of it, and what was done mostly scared people away instead of attracting them to it. that, however, has changed. Kevin Butler is the genius Sony desperately needed in its advertising department.

There are other reasons, but those are the most notable. the PS3’s future is bright, no doubt. It will continue to sell superbly, and the exclusives on the console are bar none.

It will, though, end this console race last in terms of install base. But that’s quite alright, there’s always PS4, and as long as the giant makes a profit on its biggest investment yet, I see no losers here.
