About the Xbox 360 Hardware
 |
| Xbox 360, shown with 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 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 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 20GB 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.
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 announced plans for a upcoming video-conferencing camera that will work with the system.

About Xbox 360 Games and Media
Xbox 360 is scheduled to launch with more than 20 launch titles, with several more slated to be released within the following month. Launch titles include Madden NFL 2006, Project Gotham Racing 3, and the long-awaited Perfect Dark Zero. 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 Silver. The included service 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 goodies for your games. The subscription service Xbox Live Gold adds to that online competition, game stats, and video chat/messaging. The separately sold wireless adapter supports the common 802.11a, -b, and -g standards.

The 2 months Gamefly subscription is misleading. Basically the package comes with a coupon to get 2 month subscription for the price of one month. I also didn't find anything about official xbox magazine subscription in my package. I am not sure if I am automatically subscribed for the magazine or my package was simply missing few item.
Regards

The 360 experience is pretty awesome. You're going to need an HDTV to really see it's power. The dashboard is cool and navigation and set up is pleasant and very intuitive. Games look and play amazing. DVD movies look fantastic. The wireless controller and console remote are very cool. You must get a 360.
My only disappointment is that instead of being able to get the 400.00 premium system that I wanted, I had to pay 600.00 extra for a bundle which included many games that I have no desire to play. Other than that I was very pleased that Amazon came through again w/ next day delivery and I was enjoying my purchase the day after I made it

The XBOX 360 is one of the most excellent systems of the current generation & this is one excellent bundle. You get the prenium system & 10 games. I bought this bundle in January & I only played 4 of the 10 games but I like what I have seen.
The graphics & sounds are good on the system & it shows, espically if you have an HDTV.
