Product Description:
The Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system places you at the center of the experience. Xbox 360 ignites a new era of digital entertainment that is always connected, always personalized, and always in high definition.

Amazon.com:
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.

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 second. 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 60GB 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.

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.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great console
it's a great console, the new hd is large enough, the new feature of installing the games on the hd makes it works quite as can be!
buy it!!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great system, great deal!
I was very happy with this game system. There is a vast selection of games for one, and the system has never over-heated or locked up on me like some have said about the xbox 360 when it first came out. The ability to download movies and watch them in HD doesn't suck either.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Well....
Well after ordering my package on 11/8/08 i waited 10 days to get my tracking number after checking up on my package i realize those 10 days i spent waiting for my package it hasn't even been shipped yet it was shipped one day after the last date they said it would be here even though i payed for expedited shipping my package was still late other than that and the faulty mic i got with my 360 it is in pretty good shape the 60 gig hard drive really came in handy when i put all my music on i still had about 20 left just enough for all my saves and Bs like that overall it is a good deal i just hope it doesn't crap out on me even though techmia"kind of ironic since that's what happened to my xbox =)" provides good prompt service buy with confidence and don't be afraid of those internet scams this is legit when dealing with this company be sure not to contact amazon they cannot help you with third party sellers over all it was worth it i love my new 360 happy gaming out there everyone

What's to say? The games are good, the wireless controller is comfortable, the unit itself and the power adapter block that come with it are ginormous, it's an energy hog... but if you like the games and want Microsoft to subsidize your gaming hardware, it's well worth getting.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good stuff
More (and better) games than the PS3, cheaper than the PS3, I don't mind not having wireless out of the box because I don't use that anyway. It's faster if you hook it up with the LAN.

The only con is having to pay to play online, but the online is still much better than the other consoles' online play and you can still access the marketplace and use the message system for free with a silver membership. A gold membership isn't too expensive, you can get 13 months for 40 dollars if you buy a card instead of buying it directly from the marketplace.

Can't wait to get Fable 2!
