Key features

The Xbox 360 is Microsoft's successor to the Xbox console, and is the first "next generation" games console to hit the market. It has three powerful core processors which pump out 720p/1080i output (translation: graphics look great), 16x9 cinematic aspect ratio (translation: it's sort of like the cinema), anti-aliasing for smooth textures (translation: characters look less like chimps and more like people), full surround sound and DVD playback right out of the box.

The Xbox 360 offers an online gaming experience via Xbox Live. This allows you to play multi-player Xbox 360 games on the internet via your broadband connection. The service also lets you download and save on the console's hard drive new missions, characters and vehicles for your favourite games. You can also shout real-time abuse at your opponents using the Xbox 360 headset or new wireless headset.

The Xbox 360 games console now comes in three different packages: the top of the range Xbox 360 Elite with 120 GB hard drive, wireless controller and accessories, the best selling Xbox 360 Premium deluxe package includes a wireless controller, 60GB hard drive, and a number of other accessories. Alternatively, the new Xbox 360 Arcade bundle bundle now comes with a wireless controller, 5 live arcade games and lower price.
