 | | Xbox 360, shown with separately sold wireless controller, is a sleek, customizable gaming and entertainment system. |
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 with 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 on standard TVs, and even better looking ones on HDTV sets thanks to built-in support for HDTV (720p/1080i/1080p) resolutions. 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 (the optional Media Remote is sold separately). For game-save and media storage, users can choose between 64MB flash Memory Unit, or a detachable and upgradeable 20GB hard drive (sold seperately). 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 "Dashboard" interface. From there, they can check for friends online, access personal digital content like photos 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. The 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.  | | Xbox 360 can manage your games, your online friends, and your personal digital library. |
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 service. The included Silver membership lets anyone create a Gamertag and gamer card to express your online identity, chat live with voice chat (separately sold headset required), and connect to the Xbox Live Marketplace to buy and download expansions, maps, and other digital goodies for your games. Upgrading to a Gold membership adds to that online competition, game stats, demos and video chat/messaging. The separately sold wireless network adapter supports the common 802.11a, -b, and -g standards.

Xbox 360 Core Console System Reviews
Microsoft has come along way when you compare the Xbox 360 to it's brother the Xbox 1. This is truly a system that can't be beat, you can enjoy all types of games such as Gears of War 1 and 2 come this November 2008, Mass Effect, Halo 3 (probably 4 in a year or two) and Netflix on your 360. This console is by far the best you're gonna get this generation. As you may already know, these Xbox 360's suffer from what is known as the RROD or (Read Ring of Death) which is when you get three-flashing-red-lights which is an indicator of a severe hardware failure.
Other than that the 360 beats it's competitors by far. Lastly, the customer service @ Microsoft sucks, they don't care about your issue, the people you speak to are overseas and don't speak english clearly enough to communicate to you as to what the solution will be, and again THE CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKKKKKKSS. Microsoft actually listended to what gamers wanted, and that's fun hardcore games, amazing online, and custimizable dashboards. Kudos to Microsoft for making a system that just can't be beat, but Microsoft work on your customer service a LOT more because in the end that goes along way as to where you stand with your reputation.
Thank goodness Microsoft extended everyones warranty for free to 3 years, ONLY if you experience the 3rrod error. As always when there are goods things about something there are bad things too.
But for those who just rush shop and not pay attention, then, yeah, let the buyer beware. and in my opinion, it ran better. I had all my cords and memory and whatnot from my previous and busted 360. People, if you wanted memory alongside this, you shoulda read the description better. These people look out for their customers unlike the rest of of the customer services I dealt with.
They gave me instructions that were not only beneficial but very kind. I for one have never once made a regret of buying this. When I went to buy another as a gift for a friend, the first thing that happened was they asked me if it was because the last one I bought was busted already. I've seen some previous reviews and highly disagree with 'em. I purchased one way back in January and it still runs smooth as silk.
As for me, these people have done nothing but watch my back.
Have to keep trying to load CD, eventually they are played, but sometimes takes a while, otherwise it's great. We love the Xbox, only problem is once in a while it refuses to read our disks.
3 plus years in a well ventilated area w/intercooler and it only just crapped out. I'll definetely get a new 360 soon. Can't say the same for PS2(went through 2 in 3 years). I still recommend the 360 as the better of the two systems. I still have my original Xbox in working condition.
Pre ordered it 11/05 got & it a week after release. It's worth getting again. Purchased the hard drive when it released as well.
It now blinks a beautiful shade of red. I've had alot better luck with Microsoft than Sony.
I called Xbox help and they sent a box. I never opened it or did anything to it other then mail it. The Xbox360 was alot of fun until I got the red rings of death. I got an email a couple of days later saying that it had been shipped back to me.
The amount of money microsoft is making and they call me a liar instead of fixing it. I received it "unrepaired" with a letter saying that I violated the Extended Warranty. I can't believe it. I am in shock. I called Xbox and they told me it wasn't repaired because I tampered with it.
They are cheats completely. I put the stupid thing in the box and dropped it off at UPS. Took the game out and took off the harddrive. I followed the instructions in the box. I could only talk to an Indian guy (he was nice) and all he could tell me is I tampered with it and sorry.
MIcrosoft's does not want to take a hit on all these crappily made consoles.
