Millions of gamers around the world have experienced some of the best games ever released on next generation consoles. Released first, Microsoft's Xbox 360 is hands down the most popular console out of the three, and there are many reasons why you would want to choose this one if you're shopping for a new video game console. For some of the richest features and extensive list of games, the Xbox 360 system is second to none and will provide hours of exhilarating gameplay.
High Definition Games
Xbox 360 system games run in high definition, meaning that you'll be able to notice minute details that were never implemented before. You'll get to choose from hundreds of the most popular titles like Halo 3 and witness them in all of their high definition glory. You'll first need a high definition television or monitor to see them in high definition, but they will still work on a standard TV (just not in high def).
Also, the Xbox 360 system brings many advancements over its predecessor. Technologically speaking, the 360 comes with native wireless support, and you can also buy a stand alone wireless network adapter to connect to your wireless network. The processor is much more powerful, as is the video processor, and your games will be much more immersive and realistic as a result. Xbox Live has gotten a complete makeover with the release of the Xbox 360 system, so you'll find even more features to use online and ways to set up and join online matches.
Not only that, but you can also buy an HD-DVD expansion drive for your Xbox 360 system. Play the hottest Hollywood titles in high definition with this drive, and finally make the upgrade from standard DVD. Buying the expansion drive will run you about $130 while buying a stand-alone HD-DVD drive is much more expensive, often costing $300 or more.
When it boils down to it though, the Xbox 360 system is all about gaming, and that's where it shines. Invite your friends over and have a good time in a BYOB (bring your own box) party, and then try to do everything possible in a game to get all of its achievements. Online, join matches quickly and effortlessly with Xbox Live (which comes as a free membership just by purchasing an Xbox 360). To join the next generation of gamers, purchase an Xbox 360 system.
