Product Description:
The Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system places you at the center of the experience. Xbox 360 ignites a new era of digital entertainment that is always connected, always personalized, and always in high definition.
Amazon.com:
Xbox 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 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 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 60GB 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.

The XBox 360 console's quality control as of the late 2008 is a mixed bag. Due to the defect rate especially in older years of the console, you might find yourself scouring the shelves for the latest date and revision number. I bought in 2008, so I can only comment up until then and would hope that it has only improved in 2009 revisions.
Don't let the console revisions scare you too much, but you probably should get the latest possible unless you have a reason to get an older one. ... Read More

Atari, NES, Playstation, all the older consoles were built to last. You bought one console and that was it for the generation. Xbox 360 changed that. Don't get me wrong, this isn't the first console to break. It's the first console to have extremely high failure rates. Usually, the failure rate is under 10 percent, and the failures are generally covered under warranty. However, the xbox 360, according to a game informer survey, has over 50% failure! To make matters worse, a lot of the failures ... Read More

I think that the Xbox 360 Pro 60GB Console I just bought is wonderful, I've bought 5 since I started playing on Xbox 360 (2 in Amazon), one just coming on its way home. However, I bought this last two with the idea that Amazon would send me a recent model but they just sent me one (brand new) from August last year (2008), the one coming, I don't know about it. I was expecting one of the new ones with jasper processor but that one is just a Falcon like the other 3 I already have here at home. I'm not really ... Read More

Hands down the best,and most games on any system. Xbox Live is unmatched, movies, TV show, and overall ease of use is a big plus. Something for everyone, from the hardcore shooters and RPGs to racing and puzzle games, its all here. Netflix also works very well(if you have solid highspeed internet). Streaming music and pics from my PC is a nice feature too. I also have a PS3, but I mainly use it for blu-ray. When it comes down to gaming, this is what I use.

I'm not a hardcore gamer by any means but I have owned several different gaming systems over the years and they have all done what they're supposed to do without breaking down for no reason - except for the X Box 360. Two years into the purchase it simply decided to stop playing disks of any kind. It refuses to read movies and all games. It's only remaining functionality was to use it for NetFlix and to play the few downloadable games I had purchased through X-Box Live. I don't know if these breakdowns ... Read More
