Xbox 360 Review - Microsoft's Xbox 360 Video Games Console

Executive Summary about Xbox 360 Review By Jod Carey

Since then, the trust in Microsoft to create a genuinely great console has undoubtedly expanded.

The Xbox 360 has made people take a second look at what a good gaming experience is. With the Xbox Live Marketplace, you can download movies (rental or purchase), TV shows, themes for your dashboard, icons for your gamercard, and even games (this is including original Xbox games that you can fully download to your console and "Xbox Live Arcade" games which are cheap little games that can keep you occupied for some time, and they're also integrated into the whole user experience, with achievements and the like). This really adds onto the entire entertainment experience, making your gaming console for more than just gaming. You know how you walk into your local game store, hop onto a console, and play a demo of a game? The Xbox 360 is mostly praised for it's wide selection of games. The selection is very wide, and a lot of the games are "Only On Xbox 360" games, which plays a large role in the sales of the console itself.

With the Xbox 360, you'll find games of all genres in good numbers, to please gamers of casual status to gamers of hardcore status (self-endowed, most likely). The console itself is competently stylish. The games all support 1080p, which is fantastic. Even with a standard TV, the games still look amazing, and you'll appreciate little details that some game developers pay mind to.

You can find refurbished or used consoles as low as $150, a new console with no hard drive for $200, a console with a 60GB hard drive for $300, or the Xbox 360 Elite (black finish with a 120GB hard drive) for $400. The peripherals for this console are great, giving you options such as a steering wheel, wired/wireless controllers (also compatible as PC gamepads, with adapter for wireless, which is very cool if you're a PC gamer as well as a console gamer), wired/wireless headsets, and so on. * Console Power & Functionality: 9/10
