Xbox 360 review - A review you must read today!
The Xbox 360 which was released by Microsoft November 22, 2005 is the best gaming console available on the market today. Although it’s rival, Sony plans to release a gaming console sometime in spring 2006 Microsoft loyalists and many new fans of the system praise its ability to revolutionize the gaming universe. The Xbox 360 console is advertised not only as a video game console but as a home entertainment center. A few features of the Xbox 360 are the abilities to play video games, play DVD movies, play almost any music CD, view pictures, and along with this abbreviated list of features, you can also connect your MP3 player to the Xbox 360 and stream music while playing ANY game.
The Xbox 360 console offers the most customizable system available. You are able to change the look of you Xbox 360 at any time by switching “Face Plates” on or off. These Face Plates connect to the front of your Xbox 360 and range from plain colors to very complex designs. Along with the ability to change the physical appearance to the console you are able to change the interface of the console in a matter of seconds.
Xbox Live allows you to connect to gamers all over the world and play against them in your favorite game titles. You can also download movie trailers, video game trailers, and also demos. So in a sense you don’t have to make the commitment of buying a video game before you test it out. Xbox live is free for one month and afterwards costs $50.00 a year. For the functionality and features of Xbox Live, $50.00 a year is not much at all.
The games released for the Xbox 360 feature fantastic graphics, stunning audio, and with the ability to play your own music. The game play is seamless due to the new controller released by Microsoft, which is also cordless, opening a new level of comfort and style.
Microsoft is selling the Xbox 360 in both the Core, and Premium packages. The Core version is for the casual gamer who doesn’t really need Xbox Live or many other features. The Core version sells for $300.00 The Premium version is the obviously better deal considering the amount of accessories that come with this version. You get a Hard Drive with the premium version which is worth $100 in itself. Along with a Wireless controller, remote, headset, and much more. The Premium version sells for $400.00
