Description:

Microsoft's entry into the console wars, the Xbox has always been something like the industry's black sheep. Created by a company more known for its near monopoly of operating systems and business software, the console has still somehow managed to capture a pretty large piece of the pie, mostly because of the exclusive games that are not going to show up in other consoles. Now here's the Xbox improved for the next generation: the Xbox 360. Touting itself as a total entertainment package, this baby is not just for playing games. Packing the capacity to play HD video, DVD movies, digital music, and even providing for photo collections and online access, it sounds to be a pretty good deal. Looking at the sleek casing – which is much smaller than its predecessor's - that contains its triple core that runs at 3.2, loaded with 10 MB of DRAM, and one of the most powerful graphic processors on the market, the entire package projects a sense of cool competency and efficiency. An upgradeable 20 gig hard drive doesn't hurt either. Also, the controllers have been improved from the Xbox days and the console can take up to four wireless controllers and three more USB-based controllers to set up that massive gaming party that you've always wanted. A good buy but still I much prefer the Wii's and the PS3's bigger game library.
