The basics
The Microsoft Xbox 360 is the successor of Xbox video game console. It is a direct competitor of other leading seventh generation console such as Nintendo Wii and Playstation 3. It comes in three versions namely Arcade, Premium and Elie; each having its own features and accessories. The development of this gadget is in cooperation with IBM, Sis and ATI.
The Good
The Xbox 360 boasts a huge library of games, with several essentials titles in every conceivable genre. The crisp HD graphics are eye-poppingly impressive - even more so than on the supposedly more powerful PS3 - while 5.1 surround sound is also supported. As online gaming services go, Xbox Live is unmatched, especially when it comes to multiplayer gaming, while media streaming and a decent movie download store boost the 360’s non-gaming skills.
The bad
It’s a shame that the 360’s reliability and build quality doesn’t match its graphical and online talents. It’s well known that the machine itself has been plagued with overheating problems (although Microsoft’s three-year warranty ensures duff consoles are eventually repaired or replaced), but the hugely noisy cooling fans and disc drive are also incredibly annoying, especially if you’re using the console to watch a movie.
The bottom line
Despite its hardware issues, the Xbox 360 is the best of the current gen consoles when it comes to pure, hardcore gaming. It’s got the best online service and the best selection of games - and throws in some strong media skills to boot.
