Product Description

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.

| Game like a pro right out of the box with the two bundled games |
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.
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.

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.

Edition:Pro Value Bundle
Fun:
Like the previous reviewer stated, this xbox 360 system is not the "Go Pro" version. Its the older premium system that was opened so that they could insert the 2 games and call it the holiday bundle. The box does NOT say "Go Pro". Stickers are added to the outside of the box to make it looks like the new "Go Pro" version....but it is not. The systems have a manufacture date of mid-August. If you don't mind getting an older system, then this system is for you.....but if you want the lastest system, look elsewhere!

Fun:
First, I know that a large audience of gamers have had overheating issues with their Xbox 360s. However, I think I would be doing a disservice by downplaying the merits of this system.
What makes the Xbox 360 such a great experience is software and connectivity of the system. The Xbox live and marketplace service are wonderful features that allow you to easily and quickly play multiplayer games, as well as download game demos, movies, tv shows, etc. I especially enjoy the ability to download games before I decide to buy them.
The picture quality is amazing. Though people will argue that the only thing that matters is gameplay, I somewhat disagree. I think that incredible graphics and gameplay can help with immersing the player into the game world. A perfect example of this is Bioshock, which recently won "Game of the Year."
The negative aspects of the system are the following:
- Noisy system fan and disc drive
- Overheating issues (I have not experienced this, but I know that a lot of early adopters of the system were affected)
- No built in wireless
- Lacks the "party" titles of the Wii
Just a little background on my gaming habits: I've owned an Atari, Colecovision, Famicon, Sega Genesis, Xbox, PS2 and Wii. I also own a DS and a computer for some mild gaming. I have found the Xbox 360 to be my primary source of gaming at home (with the DS being my primary when I travel on business).
I initially thought that I would be satisfied with a Wii. Though I love the concept of the system, I have been itching for more involved and immersive gaming. After I finished Zelda and Metroid, I found myself wanting a bit more. The 360 has filled that void and has energized my gaming.

Fun:
Confirmed: just got this Xbox 360 Pro Value Bundle from Amazon on 12/3, and it is lot 739 with a manufacture date of October - the newer Falcon motherboard & 65nm processor. Even with that, there is no tangible proof these systems are inherently more reliable - too early to tell. So, my conclusion is: The system is great, people. As so many others have said, it's very arguably the best gaming system out there (PS3 is great too, but hey- it really comes down to preferences). Very happy with my purchase, no 'red rings' out of the box, etc - even with the newer hardware revision now shipping, there aren't guarantees; just know that you definitely will have a chance of something going wrong. That's the reason for an extended 3 year warranty, which is a lot more than the PS3 or any other console. Would it be a hassle to send it back? Yes. But are there actually more people out there happily playing their 360 consoles than the ones here with horror stories? Again, yes. So get it already!
