Your XBOX 360 Game Console
Along with two of their gaming console competitors, Nintendo and Sony, Microsoft was attempting to dominate the market while attracting new customers all the time. As the competition between the three got ever more heated, Microsoft launched their Xbox 360 that became available for purchase at the end of ?05.
In response Microsoft?s two main competitors also launched their own consoles to rival with the Xbox 360 that had basically built on to the original Xbox making use of the same powerful gaming engine. Game developers can now produce games that keep players entertained for untold hours with the excellent graphics and fascinating realism. Because of the newer console the Xbox 360 has taken gaming to a new level. Despite the launch of the new consoles by Nintendo and Sony, the Xbox 360 continues to ride the wave of success by generating new sales every day, both for the console itself as well as the games.
When Microsoft developed and released their entry version called the Core, it went on sale for four hundred dollars. It was followed by the next version, Arcade, which encountered a few problems here and there. Following that version came the Pro which came equipped with a hard drive as well. But Microsoft has not been idle and has continually striven to improve their consoles by not only increasing capacity but also by upgrading the hardware, which has resulted in the elimination of both heating and noise problems.
Finished in matte black and coming with a headset to match is the latest and most costly of the Xbox 360 range and it is called the Elite. With a host of features that include a 120 GB hard drive as well as its own HDMI 1.2 cable that enables games to be played in full 1080p, the Xbox 360 continues to be a fierce competitor. For people who own the older consoles that did not come with their own cables the only option is to purchase one, although they are rather pricey.
Older consoles can also play the games available for the Xbox 360, so you will not be left out. A composite cable accompanies every configuration allowing standard play as well as a month long Gold trial, Silver Xbox Live membership so that you can also experience online gaming which is growing in popularity.
On the hardware side, the XBOX 360 houses a Tri-Core CPU called Xenon which was developed by IBM and is clocked at 3.2 GHz. Microsoft also takes a turn and uses an ATI chip called Xenos instead of one by NVIDIA which was used for the original XBOX. The GPU has a speed of 500 MHz and comes with a heat sink to keep it cool. It has 512 MB GDDR3 RAM with 700 MHz speed and has a transmission rate of 1.4 GHz on its 128-bus. All of these features combined back up the sheer power that the system gives to the games.
The Xbox 360 can also play CDs and DVDs besides games, which, thanks to the way they are formatted can fit on one single disc. This all serves to make the Xbox 360 very useful indeed. Microsoft no longer includes the external HD-DVD because it was discontinued.
Another great feature is that many Xbox 360 games are also computer compatible. Not only serious gamers will appreciate the Xbox 360, even more casual gamers will as well, while they both enjoy increasing their own gaming library. - 23812
