The XBOX 360
There was once a heavy battle staged by 3 thriving consoles and Microsoft's XBOX was among them aiming to capture the gaming market and attract gamers to their powerful system. With the competition becoming even fiercer, Microsoft decided to develop the XBOX's successor the XBOX 360 and released it to the world late 2005.
In response Microsoft?s two main competitors also launched their own consoles to rival with the Xbox 360 that had basically built on to the original Xbox making use of the same powerful gaming engine. Game developers can now produce games that keep players entertained for untold hours with the excellent graphics and fascinating realism. Because of the newer console the Xbox 360 has taken gaming to a new level. Despite the launch of the new consoles by Nintendo and Sony, the Xbox 360 continues to ride the wave of success by generating new sales every day, both for the console itself as well as the games.
It all began when Microsoft released what was considered an entry version, the Core, which retailed at around four hundred dollars. Later on the Core was replaced by the Arcade version. Unfortunately this version made a few mistakes and now there is the Pro version that contains a hard drive as will. Over the years Microsoft has continually worked on enhancing the Xbox system by adding larger capacity and also superior hardware. As a result problems that pertained to the temperature of the console, or the noise created by its operation have been addressed and rectified.
The XBOX 360 "Elite" version is the most expensive of the bunch and comes equipped with a 120 GB hard drive and sports a nice matte black finish with matching headset. Unlike the lower models, the Elite comes with an HDMI 1.2 cable to allow games to be played in full 1080p. Gamers who bought non-Elite versions must purchase a cable separately and that can be costly.
All of the models are capable of playing XBOX 360 games that can be found in stores so choosing the least expensive model shouldn't leave you out. Each configuration also includes a composite cable for standard play and a 1-month Gold trial, Silver XBOX Live membership for online play.
Manufactured by IBM the Xbox 360 come equipped with a Tri-Core CPU. Microsoft also makes use of an ATI chip which is not the one they used in the older systems. With these new features games have taken on a quality unseen before.
The XBOX 360 games all come in dual-layer DVD-ROM format with each game having up to 7 GB of space to utilize for the game to fit on a single disc. The XBOX 360 drive can also play DVD movies and read a variety of CD and DVD formats. An external HD-DVD drive used to be included, but was later discontinued prior to the fall of HD-DVD.
Since the console is developed by Microsoft, many of the PC games have XBOX 360 ports and vice-versa. This console is recommended for hardcore and casual gamers as well and continues to expand their games archive. - 18758
