Like Halo? Like Xbox 360? Well we have a system for you! 
2008-06-30
I have owned 3 Xbox 360 consoles, and not a single one of them have suffered the Red Ring Death. This one is no exception.
I am a huge fan of the Halo series so me buying this was a "No Duh" decision. People complain about the Red Ring of Death with their systems. I have never had this issue. I do not know if these people are unlucky or if they simply cram the Xbox in a non vented area, but if you keep the Xbox out where it can breathe I think it would be alright. Just my 2 cent there.
This version of the 360 does have HDMI like the newer versions do. I only have 2 major complaints with this system.
1 being that I wish it would have come with the 120GB Hard drive vs the 20GB. The 20 fills up just too quickly with all the great stuff on Xbox Live.
2 is that I wish you could buy more controllers, headsets, etc to match this system! I have 1 really nice Green controller and then 1 Black and 1 White one. Would it be so hard to make these to buy separate?
This is nothing but a Green Xbox 360. lol But if you love Halo, this is an awesome choice.
A Great Deal on a Great System 2008-06-21
I am completely satisfied with this purchase!
Pros:
The console looks great (in person it appear brighter than the customer pics, darker than the company pics)
Great graphics
Matching controller (plug and play included) and headset
Comes with free Special Edition Gamerpics and Theme
Lots of backwards compatability
1 month free gold membership to xbox live
Less cables, plugs, and setup than older consoles
A VERY WELL DESIGNED PRODUCT
Cons:
It has a rather large external power supply (hide it next to the power outlet)
Halo 3 is not included
Many people do not respect the Xbox 360 and are turning to worship the PlayStation3. Halo fans feel left out of the spot light with their 360s, but let me tell you, this console turns heads! Everyone asks me about it and has never seen one before. Make the decision on consoles based on exclusive games, not on anything else because people blow the Xbox 360's AND the PS3's problems out of proportion. If you are interested in the Halo series then the choice is obvious!
BUY THIS CONSOLE!
Great system for fan

If you enjoy the Halo series, no one can talk you out of buying this "camo" system. I got it on time and in great condition, plugged it in and started playing in no time! Comes with a really cool dashboard and stuff for online play.
So many replacements and none work 
2008-03-18
I bought 2 Xbox machines for my nephews for Christmas (A Halo-edition and a Pro). They've been sitting on their shelf since Christmas now. One machine has been exchanged 3 times and still locks up after 5 minutes of play time. The other one has been exchanged twice - it doesn't work either. It takes about a month to get your hands on a replacement - which doesn't actually work any ways.
Microsoft admitted that they are having serious problems with their Xbox. So... shouldn't they recall them until it's fixed. Apparently not. They'll let you sit there with machines that don't work for a month and then give you your monthly replacment that doesn't work either. Then your kids get to sit there for ANOTHER month with a machine that STILL doesn't work for more than 5 minues.
For the most part I like Microsoft, but come on. 3 months of two Xbox 360's not working and I'm still waiting for a replacement for either one! This is ridiculous guys.
happy birthday! 2008-03-13
i purchased the xbox 360, an extra custom controller, and the halo games for my son's birthday. let me tell you i am now the world's best dad. my son absolutely loves this console. it was also easy for me to set-up and get it going. this is a big hit at our house. the graphics on the games are out of this world. the only way they could be better is with an hdtv, and that is definitely in the works. the console itself actually looks pretty good too with the custom halo paint job. good job microsoft and thanks again amazon.

i love the x 360 2008-03-08
the x 360 halo edition is a great game system the graphics are crazy good and i don't even have an hdtv(but im looking at buying one) the games are awsome also i've only come across one i didnt like so far. just a personal suggestion i would get some kind of game pass like from block buster or net flix to try different games that fit your type of gameing before investing a lot of money into games
only found one problem 2008-02-21
I have gotten the halo version when it first came out. So far I like the system I hate that not all orginal x-box games work on it. I have noticed that the wireless controller is not working wireless I have to keep it pluged in. I would have thought it would last at least a year. So pretty upset about that. I do not play a lot of x-box and take really good care of it so it should have lasted longer. other then that the games look great on tv but there are very few 2 co-op games out there and it seems most games are sports, and war fighting type. not something I like to play.
Xbox 360- cool but noisy 
2008-02-18
We actually returned the console due to the loud, continuous noise of the fan. It was just too disruptive.
Great if not junk. 2008-02-09
My 360 died in 6 months. Out of 10 people I know with 360s, only 1 system hasn't died yet. Great games, great system (if it were not junk).
