Amazon.comXbox 360 sets a new pace for digital entertainment. More than just a cutting-edge game system, Xbox 360 also integrates high-definition video, DVD movie playback, digital music, photos, and online connectivity into one sleek, small tower, and in the process puts true Next-Gen power right at your fingertips.
Xbox 360, shown with wireless controller, is a sleek, customizable gaming and entertainment system
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 poweredby 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.
Xbox 360 can manage your games, your online friends, and your personal digital library
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.

Great System The x-box 360 works great and they mail overseas which is nice for us troops.
Amazing System I did get the Red Ring of death, but the games and the console have been so amazing that I did not mind. I sent my console in and within 1 week I had a new unit shipped back to me.
Overall extremely pleased with the system, functionality, and games. Would never trade it for PS3 or Wii.

REVIEW
Solid What's to say? The games are good, the wireless controller is comfortable, the unit itself and the power adapter block that come with it are ginormous, it's an energy hog... but if you like the games and want Microsoft to subsidize your gaming hardware, it's well worth getting.

REVIEW
Useful feature not covered above I've built up quite a library for this thing, even though it has not yet arrived in my eager hands. I played it on several occasions at a friend's house and look forward to having one to call myown. One of the most useful features is not covered in the description above. The wired controllers are two parts, the cable has a breakaway feature that is a lifesaver if you have people wandering around between your couch and TV without looking where they are going. Instead of "CRASH, BREAK, OH NO!" when someone snags the cable with their foot, it comes apart without disturbing the base unit at all. I'm not saying it's a loose connection, just that the fit into the base unit is tighter than the breakaway part and this is by design to keep your expensive video game from accidents. The gameslook great too.
