Great start to getting into Xbox 360

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2010

I was unsure if I should drop $399.99 on this baby, but I said what the heck. It looks freakin' sweet. You get a nice matte finished console and controller, which feel good in your hands. That alone plus the game give you a great value for new products. I was a PS3 guy since it came out and it is backwards compatible and has not died out on me. All my friends had 360s but they always got the Red Ring and had to send it in for repairs or buy a new one. I felt proud to have a reliable console, but when I heard reviews of how this new 360 console works to better protect itself from overheating, that sealed the deal for me.

This console is nice. 250 GB is a lot of room for DLC, videos, etc. The touch sounds you get when opening/closing the disc tray as well as turning it on/off is really nice as it separates it from the gloss finished ones and shows off its limitedness. The console itself is pretty quiet. After playing Reach for 8 hours, it wasn't even alarmingly hot. It was warm, which all electronics tend to be over a period of time. Sorry to all of those who says this overheats, for it does not.

There are a total of 5 USB ports on this rig. I currently have no use for any of them, but can be nice when you want to plug crap in I guess. Then you got the HDMI output and whatnot, all that stuff from the old Elites are here. I do enjoy the removable hard drive in this one as it is slim compared to the old Hard Drives. You can take it out and put into other new 360s. If you are worried about having to transfer your files, get the hard drive transfer cable or go to YouTube and find videos that show you how to take apart your old Elite 120 GB hard drive and stuff it in. But be warned as it will be hard to take out after you put in I hear.

As for add-ons, you get the good stuff. You get a special UNSC Falcon Avatar item, which is cooler than the Covenant Banshee that came with the controllers (purchased separately), the Officer Elite Armor (comes in limited edition Halo Reach), and the Recon Helmet for pre-ordering (but I bet all the console editions have it included). The only thing you do not get is the flaming spartan head armor effect, but it won't make you feel gypped. Having these cool armors and avatar item is satisfaction enough. Oh, also included is the last episode from Halo Legends, the movie of 8 anime bits in the Halo universe. You get the "Package" and it is quite nice to have and be able to watch it from your xbox. I only dislike how the Halo Legends episode was a code and was not readily available to watch on the console, but downloading it only took a few minutes. It is a 15-minute long episode with CGI graphics and is really the best of the 8 episodes IMO. You can see what I mean as all 8 episodes are available via YouTube.

The console, the controllers, the headset, Reach, and all the virtual items you get with this make it worth the money. It saved me headache of wondering what external fan to get for a older model 360 as this stays nice and cool and very quite. The matte finished controllers match the console and just feel good in your hands. Allows you to easily shoot down enemies and do well in Matchmaking. The headset is nothing special, but works. It is black and easily plugs into the controller and has the Talk/Mute option on the side of the cord versus it being at the place where it plugged into the controller of older model headsets. The episode of Halo Legends is sweet and is nice to be able to watch on a television set. The virtual items you get will hold you over until you start ascending the ranks in Halo Reach. I love my Officer Elite armor and I keep my Recon Visor Helmet on all the time. So far, I have not bought any armor as it all looks like crap compared to the default set-up with the Recon helmet equipped. Having the Falcon being controlled by avatar is a plus as almost no one will have it--it is exclusive to users of this console only. If yours did not comes with a code for the Falcon, you can still get it through Halo Waypoint (I had to use this method). All in all, a great buy for 2 controllers, a game, a console, and a few extras you get here and there. Worth my money and glad to be a Gold Xbox Live Member playing Halo Reach matchmaking. It felt like Christmas came early!

Excellent value for the bundle.

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2010

Well, a week or so before Halo: Reach came out, my 360 decided it would be a great time to start freezing up for no reason, and I wasn't going to pay to get it fixed when I got a replacement refurbished console just 9 months ago (finally got RROD'd but fell under the seemingly unlimited extended warranty for the 3 flashing lights). So I decided to go ahead and get the Halo: Reach bundle as a replacement. I fixed the old console anyway (unsurprisingly, the shoddy X-Clamps were the culprit), but figured it would be a nice upgrade to have regardless since my old one is the original model.

The bundle is pretty nice for the $400 price tag. You get two controllers, a copy of Reach (with some extras thrown in for good measure) and of course, the console itself. Being an owner of an original Xbox 360, it's easy to notice the advantages the 360 S has over the old model. The biggest improvement is ventilation; you'll notice a lot of hot air coming out of the console and might worry it's overheating as a result, but it's actually doing a better job of pushing more air out (unlike the old console, which had terrible overheating problems). I haven't cracked open the console itself to see what they changed on the inside since I just got it and don't feel like voiding my brand new warranty (here's to hoping they got rid of the horribly cheap X-Clamps in the old model and replaced them with actual screws this time) but overall it seems like it does a much better job of dissipating heat so it seems like everything inside should work fine. There's numerous other improvements as well; built in Wireless N (which works great and takes almost no time to set up), touch sensitive buttons (which make cool Halo noises when used), and a sleeker, more angular design than the original 360 model. Oh, and one of the best parts of the new design? The console no longer sounds like a freight train! I wouldn't say it's "whisper quiet" like it's advertised as, but it is definitely quieter. The disc drive no longer makes your console sound like your Xbox is blasting off into space when in use. And if you install your games (which you should, with 250g of space to spare) it's even quieter. It still makes some noise, but at least it doesn't sound like your Xbox is trying to calculate the true value of Pi anymore. As for the design of the console, the console in this package is Halo-themed; it's silver and has the ONI logo on it and is labeled as an "Archive Reader." The Silver finish is great looking, so it will fit in well with the rest of your electronics so you won't have to be embarrassed to have it in your entertainment center.

The two wireless controllers are also themed in a similar fashion to the console (again, a nice silver finish with black used for the shoulder buttons and the bottom part). Everything else about the controllers is the same, they just look cooler.

The new Xbox also comes with a smaller power brick (albeit, there still is one). No, it isn't Reach themed (that would be sort of weird anyway) but it's smaller and the console itself uses less power overall.

There are a few disappointments with the system (specifically related to all Xbox 360S'es, not the Halo: Reach one in particular since they're the same anyway). There's no memory card slot, so if you overpaid for one of those years ago (like I did) so you could carry your profile to your friend's house, well, you can basically throw it out since now you'll have to use USB drives. Also, the package doesn't come with an HDMI cable or a component HD AV cable, even though they had no issues packing one in with the Pro models almost 5 years ago. Guess Microsoft is trying to squeeze a few extra dollars out of purchasers. I had a spare HDMI cable anyway, so it didn't matter to me, but make sure you get some sort of HD capable cable if you buy this bundle and have an HDTV because otherwise you're stuck with standard def (and don't go and buy MS's overpriced cables, you can get an HDMI cable that's just as good for way less here on Amazon).

I won't review Halo: Reach in depth here since there's already a ton of reviews about the game, but it is a potential Game of the Year candidate. It can definitely keep you entertained until the next generation of consoles, and probably even longer (after all, Halo 2 was more popular than any Xbox 360 game till Gears of War came out about a year later). It's worth buying a 360 for in my opinion, or more specifically, this bundle.

In addition to Halo: Reach, you get some extras as well. You get a code for a Recon helmet variant (normally in any pre-order or launch day copy), a code for the Elite Officer armor permutation (Limited/Legendary edition normally), a Falcon for your Avatar (better than nothing I guess, although if you really like Avatars, I guess it's cool) and an episode of Halo: Legends. Some nice extras that certainly aren't going to make or break the package, but are nice extras nonetheless.

Overall, you get a great value here. If you don't own a 360 but are interested in getting one so you can play Reach, this bundle is excellent and sports some cool looking controllers and a sexy console. If you're looking to upgrade and have the cash to spare, it's also worth the price (can always sell any extra stuff you don't need anyway). Aside from a few complaints about the console (complaints which apply to all 360 S consoles, not just the Reach one) the package is excellent.

Great console and features, just lacking all the bells and whistles

The new REACH console is slick, quiet, and all in all much better than my older version. It would easily have been a 5 star rating, except for the fact that Microsoft was too cheap to include an HDMI or at least HD component cables with the system. When I've already spent $400 for the console, the last thing I wanted to do was have to go back out and buy high-def cables. Make sure if you are using this for an upgrade, keep your cables from the prior system.

The console runs okay so far. The controller was pretty grimy and so was the system. and I might have misread the description but doesn't the Halo Reach X Box 360 special edition come with the Halo Reach game?
