About the Xbox 360 Hardware
 <TABLE ALIGN="right" BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=5 WIDTH="200"> <TR ALIGN="center" VALIGN="middle"> <TD> <IMG SRC="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/with-wireless.jpg" ALT="Xbox 360 with wireless controller" BORDER=0> </TD> </TR> <TR ALIGN="center" VALIGN="middle"> <TD> Xbox 360, shown with wireless controller, is a sleek, customizable gaming and entertainment system. </TD> </TR> </TABLE>

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 10 MB of embedded DRAM. 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.

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 announced plans for a upcoming video-conferencing camera that will work with the system. <TABLE ALIGN="left" BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=5 WIDTH="200"> <TR ALIGN="center" VALIGN="middle"> <TD> <IMG SRC="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/xbox-ui.jpg" ALT="Xbox 360 user interface" BORDER=0> </TD> </TR> <TR ALIGN="center" VALIGN="middle"> <TD> Xbox 360 can manage your games, your online friends, and your personal digital library. </TD> </TR> </TABLE>

About Xbox 360 Games and Media
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.

About Xbox Live
A built-in Ethernet port allows users to connect their system to a broadband connection for access to the new Xbox Live Silver. The included service 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 goodies for your games. The subscription service Xbox Live Gold adds to that online competition, game stats, and video chat/messaging. The separately sold wireless adapter supports the common 802.11a, -b, and -g standards.

Impressive but still needs a lot of work........2007-06-12

microsoft really stepped thier game up with the new Xbox360. It has wireless controllers, very stunning grphics, and some pretty decent titles comming out in the future... Now for the bad and the ugly. Buying an intercooler or a playing this system while its in the freezer is a must. They still have to find some way of keeping this machine cool enough to function over long periods of time. How come Sony can get this right and Microsoft can't. The controller is also something to get use to. it resembles the PS controller but it is still huge. For people with small fingers such as myself will find some games frustrating. Nevertheless, this is still the best system available right now(Until the Wii gets going and the PS3 gets better games).

Buyer Beware.......2007-06-09

Let me start by saying that I loved my xbox360 and would have recommended it to anyone who asked until this week when I got the 3 red lights of death. I have owned every video game system since the Atari 2600 and I have never ever had a problem with any of them. But with my Xbox 360 as of late I have had nothing but problems.

I turned on my xbox the other day for a Guitar Hero II session, and I was player for about 15 min when the system just turned off. When I turned it back on I had not video or audio and 3 red rings on the front of my xbox, so I called customer support and they told me it was a Hardware failure and they would need me to send it in. They were going to send me a box and the whole process should take about 1-2 weeks.

Well one week went by and I still had not received my box in the mail yet. So I called them up again, and they told me the box was never shipped and it would be sent out today. Strike one.

So then I asked them if I could just mail them the Xbox on my own because I ship UPS everyday at work and it would be alittle faster, and the answer was no. I asked her why and she said because they do not do that. And again I asked her why and she repeated herself, so I asked to speak to a manager.

The Manager got on the phone and had an attitude before I even said a word to him. I explained my situation to him and he basically told me there is nothing I can do I have to just wait for the box. I then asked if there was anything they could do to compensate me for the delay, and he told me "No, we do not compensate our customers for anything" . I then said that what happened to the Customer is Always Right position in the business world. And he just repeated himself again. I told him to have a good night and hung up the phone. Strike Two

Now I was mad, and I did some research on the internet about this issue. Turns out that this happens to 40% of Xbox 360s sold. This is a known issue and they have no intention on fixing it. People on the Xbox Forums are now on their 3rd refurbished XBox and nothing is being done. There are horror stories all over the web of how bad MS Customer Service is on the Xbox.

I can not stand by a company that treats its customers like this. I own all 3 next gen systems and I can now say that if there is a game that is multi platform I will be buying it for my PS3. I will miss Xbox Live. But there is no excuse for the way MS is handling this..If I treaded my customers like that I would be out of business in a week.

All I have to say is Buyer Beware.

As a mom...........2007-06-09

Got my teen two systems this year. The Wii for the holidays and 3 months later an Xbox 360 for his birthday. We made a deal, he traded in his PS2 and Gamecube with a ton of games got a $250 credit and put it toward the 360.
Bought Oblivion, MLB 2K7 and GTA Triple pack (not for 360)

He hates the 360. It doesnt support the regular xbox games. He had a failure on the hard drive within a month of play. Microsoft support was terrible. Finally threatened them and they let me return hard drive only to wait a month to get replacement. System overheats even with cooling fan after 3 hours of play.

He has the Wii for a longer time and absolutely no problems at all. I understand the two systems are different but come one when you spend $500 on a console you should expect to have it for a while.

If you're a mom beware you child will have meltdowns from this system.

Excelent game console.... But....................2007-06-09

Excelent console, but i think i got lots of issues that can be solve like, the overheat problem, the video issues (DVI C-Video) but in a overal i liked a lot.

xbox 360 just died less than 1 month after warranty expired.......2007-06-07

We just got the red ring of death on our xbox 360, less than one month after my warranty expired. One day it was working, the next day it was dead. It will cost $139 to fix it and I don't think we want to sink another dollar into this thing. Leave it to microsoft to use shotty hardware - no new news there. We're going to try and sell our games and accessories and get a Wii.
