On November 22, 2005, Microsoft released the long-awaited XBox 360, the next-generation popular XBox game console. However, the XBox 360 goes farther than any game system that users are used to. The XBox 360 is more like a full-featured broadband connected entertainment device that appeals to gamers but meets the needs of the entire family.
Although smaller than the original XBox [360 weight is only 7.7 pounds], this version contains many beautiful features in a small package. If you happen to have an HDTV, you'll appreciate advanced graphics and support for the windshield [16:9] format. Of course, the console can also be played on regular TV, but the depth of the graphics is especially impressive on more advanced TVs. The XBOx 360 comes with an ATI graphics processor and 10MB of embedded DRAM. This setup allows the XBox 360 to draw up to 500 million triangles per second for realistic, lifelike graphics.
The XBox 360 also has a 12x dual-layer DVD Rom drive that can play the dual purpose of playing XBox games and regular DVDs. In addition, additional support for surround sound audio for the ultimate home theater experience and realistic gaming experience.
For game save and other media storage, you can choose to purchase a 20GB external hard drive, or you can make the XBox 360 backward compatible with the original XBox game.
The XBox 360 goes far beyond gaming and video, and its built-in Ethernet port allows users to connect to XBox live via a broadband connection [available in a variety of styles]. XBox live allows you to broadcast live over the Internet, use voice or even video chat, and of course you can purchase extras for XBOx. In addition to the Ethernet connection, you can choose to purchase a wireless adapter that complies with the standard wireless 802.11 protocol for integration into your existing wireless network. For other data transfer tasks such as uploading digital photos, digital home movies and music, you can use the integrated USB 2.0 port. With all of these features, streaming all digital files is a trivial matter.
As you can see, the XBox 360 offers something for everyone. Children can enjoy future gameplay [check the game level for age], and mom and dad can enjoy file sharing, music and video streaming, and home theater features.
