So I bought this because I have been rockin' the older 360 Elite for a while now and thought since I love Gears this 360 was the perfect opportunity to upgrade to the newer version. Comes with the 320GB hard drive which is just crazy big, for me at least, the graphics on the thing are killer and look very well done, nice texture and detail work. I have read another review questioning the quality of the controller but I am not sure where they are coming from because mine look very durable and are put together just right. The custom Gears of War sounds are pretty sweet but would be better if they were just a touch louder. Of course the game is amazing. All in all this is a solid well put together offering with some really cool features and if I were to recommend an upgrade it would be to this machine. Awesome 360 Microsoft!
