| BHPian | Hey guys! So, I have finally taken the plunge into the console world! After a lot of research and thinking, oh lots, I finally decided to go in for the Xbox 360! A quick look into the thought and decision process: Wii - Was definitely considered and was close to buying it when I realized it's going to be more fun when you are with friends/family! I am not really sure how much fun playing bowling alone could be! Not for very long, I am sure! Also, Wii didn't have the games I wanted to play. I am a sucker for FPS and Racing games, so Wii was out of the competition. PS3 vs Xbox - The eternal fight, eh? I would have definitely gone for the PS3, if I had a HDTV and a home theater, or was planning to get one! IMHO The PS3 is better value, if you are looking at buying an entertainment package, not a gaming console. (Don't kill me PS3 fanboys!) The Xbox definitely has a better online gaming experience, albeit paid, and a better choice of games. That, and the Xbox available here in UK at almost half the price, it really was a no-brainer. But then, when I started researching Xboxes, and came across the reliability issues. Some people quoted a failure rate as high as 33%! I didn't want to end up with a dead console in India. That was until I read about Jasper! Finding a Jasper Xbox wasn't easy but Google's your best friend and it lead me here: Xbox 360 DVD Drive Database Called up a couple of Blockbuster stores in my area, and found one in Headingley, took a bus and got the console + NFS Undercover (I know it's pathetic!) for GBP 139.99! Here are some pics: ![]() Yeah, I know it's an Arcade, but it's a Jasper Arcade! The 60 gb Live Starter Pack is coming soon! ![]() Amazing controller - just love it! ![]() The Setup! ![]() The 12.1 A current rating says it all - Jasper! A big thanks to Blockbuster, Headingley (Leeds) for the cooperation!

I would advise against the arcade machines though - most of them are quite old, & actually appear to be survivors from the gaming plazas set up by Mahindra almost a decade ago. Also, each game costs Rs.30 & unless you're familiar with a game - you'll quickly end up losing a lot of money as most games have very short timeouts ! The Wii, 360s, & PS3s are a safer bet, I think an hour is Rs.60. The experience is also better with those lovely Panasonic wide-screen displays & speakers in the head-rests... | |
