Product Description: Xbox 360
The Xbox 360 is smaller and sleeker than its predecessor, and can be operated in a horizontal or vertical position, similar to the PlayStation 2. The Xbox 360 was designed according to an "inhaling gesture" concept, and the longer edges of the console's front profile are slightly concave. The case is a silvery white color, but the unit accepts swappable face plates, available in a variety of colors and styles.
The front of the console features two slots for memory cards and two USB ports. No physical controller ports are required, as all Xbox 360 controllers are wireless. The standard Xbox 360 controller is similar in design to the "S"style controllers manufactured for the original Xbox, though the "black" and "white" buttons have been moved to the spine of the device, as triggers. A globular, greenlit button on the center of the controller offers gamers quick access to the console's builtin user interface, which is similar to the original Xbox's "dashboard" but far more extensive. The standard Xbox 360 controller is manufactured in silvery white plastic, to match the console.
Xbox 360 uses a threecore, IBMdesigned processor that runs at 3.2GHz and is protected by a watercooled heatsink. The machine's graphics processor was designed by ATI, and features 10MB of imbedded DRAM. The unit has 512MB GDDR3 RAM, which is shared by the CPU and the graphics processor. A portable, 20GB hard drive attaches to the back of the console.
The Xbox 360 is backwardcompatible with the most popular games for the original Xbox, and the machine can also play standard DVD movies and audio CDs, and read MP3 sound files and JPEG image files. The 360 is designed for easy LAN connections to contemporary
Of course, the nature of the games created for play on Xbox 360 will always depend on the skill and creativity of developers, but the console has been designed and marketed to encourage a few general themes which were established by the original Xbox. All Xbox 360 games are "Live Aware," allowing broadbandconnected gamers to receive score updates and friends list notices, no matter which 360 game they're currently playing. Support for highdefinition display and 5.1 surround sound are also requirements of all 360 games. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

Not so great as people say
, December 30, 2007Reviewer: Yahoo! Shopping User3 of 4 Yahoo! Users found this Xbox 360 review helpfulPros: Great Graphics, Tons of great games
Cons: Overheats, tends to work when it wants to
This system is great, when it works. Those that have had the system for awhile know of the red blinking lights and had to send their systems in for repair. A big hint is that Microsoft extended the warranty on this system should indicate problems already.
--Cons--
It is prone to overheating, red-blinking lights indicating hardware issues which requires you to send back for repair, hence the extended warranty. Also I have had issues with discs being unreadable. I'll be in a middle of a game and all of a sudden the game will stop and a message will pop up saying the disc is unreadable. Try getting Microsoft to help you with that, because I haven't had much luck.
-Pros--
But of course the system is great... when it works. Great graphics, great games out for the system, and xbox live (much easier to use than ps3's system).
Yes i bought a ps3 after my numerous issues with my 360. ...
