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 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.
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. What's in the Box?

 Rating:  - 360 wasn't a smooth landingReceived package from Amazon. Opened and found headset was broken (snapped where the clamp meets the mic mount). Upon hooking up the Xbox 360, we found that component/HiDef output was not showing the right colors. Tested composite connection and colors were fine. Tried swapping the cable and found color output from component was still outputting funky colors (XBL games screen is light blue, etc.). Called MS and was told expect up to 4 weeks to repair it. This was tremendous news to my son who spent ... Read More Rating:  - Xbox 360This console is awesome. IT is convenient to go online and download all the new game demos to see if I would actually like to buy them. I love the system link feature. Rating:  - Waste of moneyI've owned my Xbox 360 for over 2 years now. The problems that I've had with it is not worth the headache. It's on it's way to be repaired (again), last year this time I was hit with the 3 red rings. It took Microsoft about 2 months to repair my system and send it back to me. When I finally did recieve the system back it was refurbished. I paid for a new system and was given a rebuilt system in return. This time around the CD tray stopped working, in the middle of the game it started to make this ... Read More Rating:  - I love it!I have waited a long time to buy a 360, the bad reviews have put me off, so I have waited until now to hopefully buy a product that wont do a "Mission Impossible" and self destruct in 5 seconds! I have had the unit for 2 weeks now and I am very impressed. It is so much better than the original Xbox it has replaced. First time on Xbox live also, how much fun is that, my son and I have had a blast playing Halo3 with people from all over the globe, it has opened up an entire new part to gaming that for ... Read More Rating: - It would be good if it would'n breakThe console is good while it works. After getting the 3 red lights and breaking for the second time with two different consoles in a bit longer than 1 year, I am buying a PS3. Next time I suggest they make some research to make the videogame more reliable. |
