Amazon.com Product Description:
Xbox 360 sets a new pace for digital entertainment.

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.

Xbox 360 Console Chooser



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: 4 out of 5 stars - XBOX 360 System Bundle 60GB 2008
Have only had the system for a few days. Appears to be what we expected and as we purchase games more suited for mature teens and adults, we think that we will find the system to exceed our expectations. So far we recommend it highly.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best console option by far
The Xbox 360 is a very versatile, powerful, and solid system that is far superior to the PS3 from my experience. There is an Xbox 360, Wii, and PS3 in my house and honestly, the Wii is only played when a group of people are over, the PS3 for blu-ray (though blu-ray players are cheap now and you can buy an Xbox and blu-ray player for less than the PS3), and the Xbox for EVERYTHING else. We watch netflix movies on the xbox 360, play games on xbox live all the time, have fun with the wide variety ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Middle of the road system
I've been playing video games since the NES, and for a long time I had put off buying a next gen system, considering the PS2 to be the end of the road for me: The PS3s were WAY beyond my budget, the 360s had a huge failure rate, and I just might be the only person on the face of the earth who never enjoyed the Wii.
Finally after eyeing all the titles like The Orange Box, Bioshock, and FEAR that I had wanted to play for so long, I caved and bought a 360 Arcade in November. My original plan was ... Read More
