RSS Feed (xml)The Xbox 360 has been out in the shops and retail stores for over 3 years now, and having been released in 2005 is still going very strong. It comes in three version which are known as the arcade version, elite version and the premium version, each having their own selection of accessories and varying price tags.
It's undoubtedly a popular games console amongst many with over 1000 games available to buy worldwide. The Xbox 360 also plays host to some excellent features such as its detachable hard drive that can come in an assortment of different sizes from 20GB right up to the 120GB drive which was released in August 2008. This gives you the opportunity to save game demos, and larger files that you can call upon at anytime, the higher the GB the more you can fit onto it.
Perhaps one of the major downsides to the console is the famous red ring of death which is displayed on the LED power button as 3 red lights that flash; this basically means there is a major hardware failure to the console and the only way to get it repaired is by sending it back to Microsoft's support centre.
Overall the Xbox 360 is one of the best consoles to own at the moment and with the inbuilt Xbox Live feature you can play online, on the Internet with friends, meet new people and download TV shows, movie trailers and many more types of media. You can even chat on MSN to your friends with the inbuilt MSN interface.
