Xbox 360 sets a new pace for digital entertainment. More than just a cutting-edge game system, Xbox 360 also integrates high-definition video, DVD movie playback, digital music, photos, and online connectivity into one sleek, small tower, and in the process puts true Next-Gen power right at your fingertips.

Xbox 360, shown with wireless controller, is a sleek, customizable gaming and entertainment system

Under the Hood
Xbox 360 is much smaller than its predecessor--it measures approximately 3.3 by 12.2 by 10.2 inches and weighs 7.7 lbs. It's powered by custom IBM PowerPC-based CPU with three symmetrical cores each running at 3.2 GHz. It also carries a custom ATI graphics processor loaded with 10 MB of embedded DRAM, 48-way parallel floating-point dynamically scheduled shader pipelines and Unified shader architecture. This is powerful enough to draw 500 million triangles per secon! d. In other words, it makes for great looking games in standard TV definition, and even better thanks to built-in support for HDTV 1080i televisions. It also supports the widescreen 16:9 format.

The unit has a 12x dual-layer DVD-ROM drive, which plays both the game media and progressive-scan DVD movies right out of the box. For game-save and media storage, users can choose between the detachable and upgradeable 20GB hard drive, or a separately sold 64MB flash Memory Unit. Along with storing files, the hard drive will make the Xbox 360 backward-compatible with part of the existing Xbox game library.

Control your Gameplay
Xbox 360 uses a refined button layout for its controllers. Back and Start buttons sit at the center of the controller and between them is a new Xbox Guide button, which instantly takes the user to the Xbox 360 user interface. From there, they can check for friends online, access personal digital content like photos and songs, and more. The black and white buttons of the first Xbox controllers have been replaced with new shoulder buttons placed above the left and right triggers. Xbox 360 can accommodate up to four wireless controllers and has three USB 2.0 slots to use for wired controllers or for streaming your digital media from digital cameras, MP3 players, and any Windows XP-based PC. Microsoft has also created a video-conferencing camera, sold separately, that will work with the system.

Xbox 360 can manage your games, your online friends, and your personal digital library

The Media Experience
All Xbox 360 titles can be played in either standard or high-definition resolution in 16:9 widescreen, with anti-aliasing for smoother graphics. Game designers will be able to take advantage of the system's multi-channel surround sound. The Xbox 360's digital media allows users to supplement any game's music from tracks in their own personal library.

Go Live
A built-in Ethernet port allows users to connect their system to a broadband connection for access to Xbox Live. The Xbox Live Silver Membership included with the console lets anyone create a Gamertag and gamer card to express your online identity, chat live with voice chat, and connect to the Xbox Live Marketplace to buy expansions, maps, and other digital items for your games. You can also update to a Xbox Live Gold Membership at anytime for even more benefits. The separately sold wireless adapter supports the common 802.11a, -b, and -g standards.

Customer Reviews

Great System
The Xbox 360 is the king of all game systems. I love the graphics and Xbox Live is completely unbeatable. You can play all the games you want online for either month to month for $8 a month or you can buy a 12month with one free month card for $50 and that is a little over $4 a month which is a much better deal but if you are like me and can't afford $50 up front then the month to month is great. I mean with all the things you can do with Xbox live it is a great value. The heat problems everyone has been having are not to speak of anymore they pretty much fixed that. I mean mine has never overheated and I play sometimes for 10hrs or more a day so thats saying something. As long as you keep it away from the wall and not enclosed in a entertainment center you should have no problems at all, I mean as long as you house isn't over 80 degrees inside. So all I can say is if you are going to buy a 360 buy the one with the hard drive cause it is pretty much a waste without it. But if you want the ultimate system then go for the Elite and you won't be sorry.

Amazing
I originaly bought the 360 when it first came out and like many other people out their, I had issues and returned it and got a new one. Then about 3 days later the 360 gave me more problems. I was very upset and took the 360 back with full refund saying I will just wait for the PS3. But for those 3 days of playing the 360, I did think the system itself was awsome, the exprience I had with Xbox Live was amazing. So about 6 months later my xbox was just not cutting it and I felt maybe the 360 issues would be fixed so I went and purched the 360 agian, because I couldnt wait for the PS3. So far I still have that same 360 and have had no issues what so ever. I also purchased the PS3 and the Wii. I enjoy all the systems and out of all three I prefer the 360 the most. Between the 360 and ps3 the graphics are about the same. But I still think the xbox live blows away the PS3 Network, its deffinetly the best of online gaming. I also had to deal with customer support (CS) alot in the beggining and consider the CS to be very good. I believe the 360 is a good purchase with especially with the whole Netflix comming to xbox live and the rumor of mabye Sirus Radio comming to the 360 as well.
