Reason #1 Games
Games are the most important aspect when choosing a system, and the Xbox 360 has a wide range of great games representing every genre you can think of. Shooters, racing, RPGs, sports, family games, music, strategy, action, fighting you name it, the Xbox 360 has you covered including exclusive titles. Also multiplatform games ( games that are on other consoles Derp! ) tend to play better on Xbox 360 and some, such as Grand Theft Auto IV and Fallout 3, offer exclusive downloadable content to extend the game that you wont find anywhere else. The Xbox 360 has the most games of the best quality in the most genres. Period!

Reason #2 The Xbox Streams Videos and Music
A great feature is that the Xbox 360 is a multimedia entertainment powerhouse. You can stream videos from your PC or put them on a USB thumb drive to watch them on your TV through your Xbox 360. You can stream music from your PC or rip songs to your 360 hard drive so you can listen to any music you want while playing any game. The 360 can upconvert normal DVDs to high-def if you use HDMI cables to connect to your TV. You can also download high definition TV episodes and movies from the Xbox Live Marketplace, and you can even stream movies from Netflix. Not only is the Xbox 360 a great game system, it is a complete entertainment device.

Reason #3 Its 'Achievements' Will Keep You Motivated
Our personal favorite feature of the Xbox 360 is Achievements. Achievements are goals programmed into each and every Xbox 360 game that reward you with points when you complete them. The points add up and form your total GamerScore. Does the score really mean anything? No, not really. But it is a fun way to be motivated to win another race or finish a level in a faster time or to seek out a hidden object that you might not normally try to find to earn a few more GS points. Simply put, Achievements help add replay value to games, and in this turbulent economy getting more out of the stuff you already have instead of buying new stuff is always a good idea. Since you can also check your friends profiles online or on Xbox Live, it is a nice way to keep track of what everyone is playing and how far along in a game they are.

Reason #4 Looks And How New Hardware
The Xbox 360's new look makes the system look more advanced and is avalible to blend in with other appliances you may have in your room. The new look that Microsoft have given the Xbox 360 makes the console so much more advanced that puts it way ahead of other consoles. Microsoft have add a touch screen feature which other consoles lack. Microsoft have also realsed an accessorie called Kinect which allows you to control the xbox 360 by you voice and is sensitive to your movment so you dont even need a controller.

Here is a list of the best xbox 360 games out at the moment these games will keep you entertained for hours and hours, and if your new to xbox these are the best buys

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3
CAMPAIGN
if you are looking for a memorable storyline/campaign experience, MW3 is hands down your option. Campaign is awesome with missions ranging from stealth to aggressive. The switching of divisions never leaves you bored. However, the rest of the Modern Warfare titles are recommended for campaign play.

SPECIAL OPS
if you get bored of Campaign and Multiplayer and look for extras, MW3 isnt a let down. Spec-ops survival mode rivals Treyarchs Zombies, and the return of MW2's missions, with objectives loosely based on campaign. Zombies mode is the best "Extra"

MULTIPLAYER
Multiplayer is revamped in MW3, wih new game modes such as Kill Confirmed and Team Defender, New weapon unlock system with "Weapon Ranks", and even more modes to play in a private match such as Infected and Dropzone. It pushes Black Ops out the water.

Skyrim

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a fantasy role-playing game that will keep you fully entertained as you explore the secrets of the northern realm known as Skyrim. It is a harsh, ice-cold place whose gloominess is sometimes interrupted by the heavenly stretches of the aurora borealis.

The game abounds in numerous adventures; so many that youll find yourself spoilt for choice as you try to decide what area of your quest log is best to be approached. If you opt to stick with the storyline, youll soon found out that it is the soul of a dragon that drives you, and that you are the key element to figuring out why dragons have returned to Skyrim, spreading fear and terror amongst the masses. You will also have to deal with dragons and all sorts of situations in your quest to find another important character that was assumed dead.

As you travel through the realm youll get to empathize and fight with the terrorized locals, conjoining forces against the hovering beasts and becoming the hero of more than one city.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will have you face lots of quests and even if some puzzles or repeat landscape designs might melt your enthusiasm, the latter will spring back again sooner than youd expect.

As you play, you will discover all sorts of elements that will help you along your way, enhancing your attributes, but you might also stumble upon words written in the language of the dragons. These are incredibly essential tools to using the realms most powerful spells, also called shouts. The latter have to be activated, however, by killing Skyrims dragons and absorbing their souls. Shouts cannot determine the outcome of battles, but will surely come in handy when danger is lurking nearby.

Opening the game will prompt you to create your character and choose from a variety of races, but your skill level wont be influenced by that aspect. It is the way you play that will determine your success with using spells, weapons and so on.

Battlefield 3

This is unbelievable; Battlefield 3 has been released by the developer. Every boy, young and grown up love to play a game, video game, battlefield 1 has reached top popularity when it was first released couple years ago. Now the Bad Company, the developer of Battlefield, make cooperation with DICE, creative company who handle the visual design, has released Battlefield 3 to satisfy the Battlefields fans.

When it comes to virtual battlefields, nobody does it quite like the Battlefield series. It has a long history of creating sprawling conflict zones where players have an exhilarating range of ways to make powerful contributions to the war effort. The competitive multiplayer mode in Battlefield 3 stays true to tradition, delivering an online combat experience that is amazingly addictive, immersive, and exciting, with refinements and new elements that make the familiar action feel fresh. Unfortunately, the stale single-player campaign fails to capitalize on the strengths of the series and feels like an off-brand imitation. The six cooperative missions fare better and offer a tougher challenge, but only the competitive multiplayer provides a compelling reason to buy Battlefield 3. With online battles this excellent, though, that reason is all you need.

2-Flashed Xboxs

A Flashed Xbox 360 is one that has had the BIOS reprogrammed, or has had a chip added to the system. This is usually done to circumvent security.

Quite often this will be done to allow the owner to play 'backed up' copies of games - a common euphamism for pirated games.

Flashed XBox consoles run the risk of being banned from Xbox Live. In regular system updates Microsoft begin banning consoles, as Flashing the Xbox is against the terms of service for using the XBox or XBox Live.

A Console that that has been Flashed, and then banned from XBox Live can then be described as 'Bricked' - meaning useless as it will never be allowed on Live again. Offline Play may still be possible, though.

3- Console Modifications

Console Modification are modifications to the console such as inserting new Fans Painting the console, inserting new parts such as led lights and cutting into the case and adding a window. here are some pictures of modified consoles.

Ok so if your console has RROD ( Red Ring Of Death! ) here is the place ok so to find your error code Watch The Video Below

Now you have your error code here is a list of codes with the problem so scroll down and find yours, here are the most common errors
E45: Unknown (possibly dashboard update related)

E64: DVD Drive Error.... DVD Timeout, Wrong firmware, dvd is without f/w chip, etc.

E65: DVD Drive Error.... DVD Timeout, Wrong firmware, dvd is without f/w chip, etc. This can also be caused by the tray not being fully closed on boot.

E66: DVD Drive Error: DVD model, or version does not match that of the version expected by the dashboard. OR the firmware version on the drive is older then the firmware version expected by the dashboard. Make sure the DVD drive is of the same version originally included with the console and that it is using either the original firmware included with the console or newer.

E67: Hard Drive Error... It could be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it

E68: Hard Drive Error... It could be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it, This can also be caused by a Hard Drive Eprom Error. Some also believe this might be caused by a problem with the fans.

E69: Hard Drive Error... It could be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it

E71: possibly a dashboard update error, Check below in the "Console Reset Codes" for instructions. If that does not work there is no other solution and the console must be sent back to MS for repair.

E72: (not yet known)

E73: General Hardware Error: Ethernet port... this error is caused by a problem with the Ethernet port.

E74: AV cable error... There is a problem with the AV cable, try using a different AV cable. If the cable is known to be working then there is a 90% chance it's a scaler chip problem (the "ANA" or "HANA" chip connected directly to the AV cable) in rare cases it is the GPU.

E76: (not yet known)

E79: Hard Drive Error... It could be a problem with the Hard Drive itself or a problem with the internal connection to the hard drive, Try removing the hard drive and playing without it

Here Are The Rest Of The Error Codes

0001 power supply problem
0002 Network Interface problem
0003 Power problem could be the PSU could be the GPU/CPU, somehow the console isn't getting clean power from the power supply.
0010 over heating
0011 over heating - If you are receiving this error after disassembling your console make sure to all 8 of the heatsync screws are tightened securely to the board/heatsink holes.
0012 over heating
0013 over heating
0020 (Not yet known, possibly overheating)
0021 DVD Drive Time out - Can be caused by problems with a firmware flash. This is also speculated to sometime be caused by a problem with the southbridge chipset on the motherboard.
0022 GPU Error / GPU Overheating
0023 (not yet known)
0101 (not yet known)
0102 unknown error
though it's most likely GPU related literally means the console does not know what is wrong. possibly a short or cold solder joint somewhere. So far there is 1 major theory for what causes most of these errors is that the Ram, CPU, or GPU are not soldered properly to the mother board due either to poor manufacturing or excessive heat up and cool down cycles that stress, weaken and eventually break the soldered connection.
There are two theories to fixing this one deals with the "X" clamps that hold down the chips. The other involves re-Heating the chips. DO NOT attempt either of these if your console is still under warranty. If your console is still under warranty return it to the store where it was purchased or call MS to have it replaced. I have also heard of limited success by simply switching the AV cable from "HDTV" mode to "TV" mode.
0103 CPU Error/ CPU Overheating - see solution for error 0102
0110 Memory Error / Memory Overheating - see solution for error 0102
0200 (not yet known)
