Reviews

One of the most common negative comment on this console is its bulky and oversize power supply and that it has a noisy exhaust fan and DVD ROM drive. Early versions of the console are prone to system crashes. It also has very heavy body which outweighs its rival game consoles. The positive reviews of this unit is that is has a great selection of visually appealing games all in high-definition. The wireless controllers are very convenient. It also has an easy-to-use and user- friendly dashboard interface. It also enables you to expand your Hard disk for more data storage.
