Review: A good Internet connection is a must - Received the product lightening quick! The product is excellent! The graphics quality of the included games were awesome, but then downloading them (around 20GB) was another problem (see below). The outer packing was good, but the inner wrappings looks used and crumpled and not 'factory-sealed' by Microsoft as I expected. The wrappings were stuck with cheap cello-tape. The DVD drive made a noise like a helicopter flying overhead, yes it was that bad! But then after installing a game from DVD (previously bought) in the hard-disk, the noise went off, hope it does not recur. HDMI Cable (with a HDTV) is a must to enjoy the graphics, unfortunately it is not included in the package. As others had mentioned in various forums earlier, downloading the free games (around 20GB) in India could be a problem due to slow and unreliable internet connection. Fortunately I have just now installed new wiring after fighting a long battle with the BSNL guys! Initially the download failed many times after 4% to 8% were completed. I expected the download to continue but horror of horrors, it started from start thus wasting a big chunk of my monthly GB quota :( Then I started the download late in the night (undisturbed) and kept it on till morning. At 4mpbs BSNL broadband, one game was downloaded in the first full-night successfully (It might have taken around 8 hours, while I slept). The other game was downloaded similarly the next night. But again the 'Ghosts' game when started, needed another 2GB download :( which took another two hours. Wish they had provided the game on DVD's in India. The network connection was flawless both via WiFi and through ethernet-cable to my dlink-2750U modem+router. Once the painful process of downloads were over, playing them was an awesome experience though! This 500GB model is great since I browsed a lot of free game demos on the internet (browsing through xbox itself). Each demo might be around 2GB each. I tried Forza-Horizon-2, and it was great! Now I can start playing all these free/demo games over the next months/years, paisa-vasool :) Anyone considering the cheaper 4GB model is advised NOT to buy that unless you never go online and only play using DVD's. (But then you miss out on all these free games and demos). I still have not tried the one month free xbox-live-gold. I plan to try it next month, since my GB quota this month was eaten off by my above mentioned brutal downloads. The gold edition gives out free games which I can then download. Paisa-vasool! Youtube videos looks great via xbox. I have kept the included batteries for the controller aside for other uses and using Eneloop-lite rechargeable batteries I had bought earlier. They work great. I advise every one to buy them (available on desertcart itself). Even after hard gaming for three days, the charge is still full (even though the eneloop-lite model is only half capacity of the regular eneloops, but lighter weight so better for the controller). In future I may get the Kinect separately or if I have enough money, buy the Xbox-One with the latest Kinect and dump this model to someone as a gift! Xbox rocks! Highly recommended model. Review: What are you waiting for? Buy the damn thing. - So you all might know with the XBOX ONE in the market. Microsoft has reduced their prices for the XBOX 360. So those of you who are looking for a gaming console but have a tight budget. This is the console to get. With over more than 500+ game titles under its name. This console is a must own. And If you are one who never owned a last gen console. Then this is a must buy. Plus with a 500 GB hard disk, and 2 COD games free. Its a deal had in heaven. Both the games requires you to download them. So be sure to have a real good internet connection. With my 15 Mbps net connection though, the download was a breeze. But I've heard others complain about the games being needed to downloaded to play rather getting the physical disc. But I am sure with a little you would be able download and enjoy both the games. I have always been a fan of the COD games, played all the COD games since the beginning. So for me it was a good to get two of the COD games which I missed out, as my PC could no longer support these games when they came out. The XBOX 360 controller is said to be the best controller from the last gen consoles. And it does not disappoint. Although, if you were a PlayStation gamer, then it could some getting use to. I would also suggest to the "Microsoft XBOX 360 Black Play and Charge Kit" for the controller. Because it uses AA batteries. And if your a hardcore gamer like me, who plays for more than 12 hours, will definitely need it. Also, you get the XBOX LIVE 1 month Gold Membership. Which is pretty sweet, as XBOX now gives 2 free games to it's XBOX LIVE GOLD Members. So with this console, you actually get 4 games free. 2 that come with the console. and 2 which XBOX gives to XBOX LIVE GOLD member. So with my purchase I the COD Black Ops 2, COD Ghost, Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag and Armies of Two Devil's Cartel. All for free, Which is freaking awesome if you ask me. So what are you waiting for, just buy the damn thing. It's worth it. Trust me.

XBOX 360 , I LOVE YOU.....!!!!!
I got the delivery 2 days after i ordered whereas the delivery time span was almost a week... its too fast and awesome... now coming to the console .. i already have an XBOX 360 Pro 20gb which is awesome ... and i wanted another console for me for other room LED TV ... there is PS3,PS4 and even the new XBOX ONE available in the market but i preferred the same again 'cause XBOX 360 is at the top of my list and will always be. this new Elite model came with 500GB Hard Disk inbuilt and a nice controller and a slim charger with headphones.... i also got Call of Duty Black Ops 2 and Call of Duty Ghosts Download codes and XBOX Live Gold Membership which is awesome... Black Ops 2 requires 8gb and Ghosts require 10gb download data which is good for me as i have my Wi-Fi connection since this console has inbuilt Wi-Fi.... now coming to console performance and quality... i have over 30 games on my XBOX 360 and what i believe is that playing a particular game on XBOX 360 is FIVE TIMES the quality you will get by the same game even if you play it on a High-Rig PC with ULTRA settings.... it supports HDMI which delivers FULL HD 1080p on my 47 inch LED TV with sound output from my BLU-RAY HOME THEATRE and thats an awesome experience , believe me... if you are confused between PS3,PS4,X360 or XONE , you can try this one because i can guarantee you that you won't regret... as for my experience i tried GTA V on my friend's PS3 and i bought that game for my XBOX now my friend cant believe the amazing difference XBOX has over PS3... Its upto you ... PS3 , PS4, X360 and XONE are all best at their own way but it was my choice,my experience which i shared.... Make your Decision.. and also you can get HALO 3,HALO 4, GEARS OF WAR and ALAN WAKE available for X360..... But remember always do a thorough quality survey of all the available consoles in the market before buying .... BEST OF LUCK GAMERS...

Loving it
I received the special blue edition. It's awesome. It came with a 15 amps big plug and I did not have that socket near my TV so I had to buy a converter for it..just 20 bucks or so... It works great. I have downloaded the cod black ops 2 and it worked perfectly. Yet to download the other game and register for gold membership. i have played cod black ops 2, hitman absolution, f1 2012, and GTA 5 till now with no issues. I am very happy with it. Headphone does not work (1 star less for that) but it does not matter as its not wireless or something. Thanks amazon and Microsoft.

Beware of cloudtail - Microsoft Authorized Reseller
Rating a single star because zero star rating is not available. Please mind that the rating is not for xbox 360 but for 'Cloudtail' - The "authorized" Microsoft reseller. Product comes with 2 scratch cards with game codes. One code didn't work for me. Tried contacting Amazon, Cloudtail, Microsoft & Activision but couldn't get the issue fixed. Cloud tail simply passed on the responsibility to MS. Overall 10 harrowing days of customer care calls without positive outcome. This product is not worth losing the ever valuable peace of mind. Returned the product. Richer by 20k and a lot happier since I don't have to spend my days dialing customer care.

Xbox 360 E console is really good but the problem I found that call of duty
Xbox 360 E console is really good but the problem I found that call of duty: black ops 2 didn't download only and when I posted it on xbox's website, they told some error. So it's better if people buy the 4GB variant and buy 320 GB hardrive separately.

Good stress buster
Delivery was superfast. I booked with normal delivery and I got it the 2nd day. The product and the buying experience was worth every penny I spent on Xbox 360. I am enjoying playing on it post my work. Good stress buster.
