Go on then, id be interested to know. And please be honest, i dont wanna see a million 10,s cos even if it was a pretty amazing console i dont think its worth a 'true' 10.
 
The console itself would score an 8 from me. Of course its the games that make a console and its still early days games wise.
 
agreed console itself for me is a 7 - would be a 9 if xvid could stream and the heat/freezing issues where not so common
 
I'd give it a 7 at the moment, only 1 game I want to play.

But, it'll move up to a 9 as long as the decent games come out.

Problem with a poll like this, you'll get a load of PS3 fanboys / 360 haters giving it a nice fat 1 / 0.
 
7/10. Love the console to bits, love XBL but the mere fact that top games keep slipping means that a lot of people wasted their time going crazy to get one. The console is useless without its games and right now there's just simply not enough decent ones, let alone online ones.
 
9/10 for the console. Just a damn shame we are having to wait so long for the next batch of games. Cant wait for the likes of Gears of War and eventually Halo 3 to come out
 
7/10 atm. Having to exchange mine due to the system crashing and they're being a bit slow getting quality games out.

Havent got a clue what you mean about Xvid, i assume you want some kind of codec built into it, not sure why that would even matter, certainly would never bother me.

As for the heat issues, if mine freezes once its going back. Seriously if a console designed for the world market is freezing in the british winter then there is a problem with it. There is no way Microsoft would mass produse something that locked at ambient room temp after a 2 or 3 hour session its just not going to happen. Can you imagine someone is japan playing on it in the height of summer, if your machine locks once demand a replacement its just not acceptable for a console, i mean its night on been freezing outside for about 2 weeks now.

And not to get too off topic id give it 8/10

Purely 8 out of ten aswell because the pc just pales into comparison when you talk about games now we have the 360, i mean the new gfx cards for pc's are upwards of £400 and for what, running 3dmark?, i will never ever bother upgrading my machine again for games and my next rigg will just be a download/internet box.

Its difficult to rate something that is just a medium. You could build a console right now with twice the power of the 360 (possibly even 4x if you don't mind watercooling it), with the same Live! service - but no games. Would you rate it a 10 for being the fastest/easiest to develop for console, or a 0 for having nothing of value when it comes to actually using it?

Either way, I'd give it a strong 8, both for current and potential future games. Its quieter than my Xbox 1 (except for some games that spin the DVD drive up to very high speeds), offers far more in the terms of Xbox Live! and has an awesome controller. I haven't played a game for more than 5 minutes on my PC since buying the 360, and don't plan on buying any more games. I'm not even sure if I'm going to buy Prey for the PC anymore, might just get it for the Xbox.

To put this in perspective - my PC has two SLI GTXs, so running games at high detail is no problem. The Xbox 360 is truely better than the sum of its parts. Far better than I thought it would be - and I already thought it would be something special :)

Would give it a 9, but the games at the moment are very expensive, and some of the stuff on Live! is ludicrously overpriced. Paying for small 64x64 pictures to go on your gamercard? Erm...
 
A console lives or dies on it's games catalogue.

I'd give it 7/10 - very good potential, but the games so far have been so-so.
 
Yeah id give it about a 6/7 at the minute, its good, and it will get better once they start to use all its power, and also when the quality games start appearing like GoW etc... :)
 
9/10 from me. Loses the point because of the noise, other than that, I'm more than happy. In fact, I'm stroking it now (the console)

the fact Media Center on it doesnt stream divx/xvid from an MCE machine, just wmv and mpg2(i think)
 
gonna have to say 7 thus far. mainly cos the dvd playback is poor (crappy screen res of 640 x 480) and the noise of the thing

aside from that and the total lack of accessories, its great :)
 
Never thought before it's release I would be interested,I always thought my pcs were enough to satisfy my gaming hunger but the more screenshots I saw and the more 360 game reviews I read the more my curiosity grew,so I bought one,rigged it up to my PC monitor initially and was blown away by the quality of the visuals and smoothness of gameplay.

PGR3 is without doubt the most visually impressive game I've seen and I've played all of the lookers on pc e.g HL2,Far Cry,Doom 3,Riddick,Cod2,fear etc.

I think the 360 is a very impressive bit of kit,it impressed me to such a degree that I flogged my CRT tv and bought a 32inch HD LCD TV,you can't beat kicking back on the sofa with a few stubbys and a cool 360 game in your face.

I'll never give up my pcs and pc gaming but the 360 is a very welcome addition to my burgeoning debt :D .I'll give it a solid 8.0 for now but as the game releases progress this score will hopefully rise.

Do you use it as a dvd playback machine though? Seems weird that anyone would when you can pick up fantastic dvd players for £50. Its a games machine first & foremost, the dvd playback thing is surely an unimportant issue as i cant see why anyone would use it as their dediceted dvd player
