RSS Feed (xml)Games and games consoles are struggling at the moment with the global credit crunch. As a result, many shops and online gaming sites are reducing the price on a range of games including some relatively new releases.
People may be cutting back on new games but there is still a reasonably high demand for certain titles. Sales for all games consoles fell last month and there is pressure particularly on Sony to reduce the cost of their Playstation 3.
The Xbox 360 is cheaper than the PS3 and some say that the graphics are better thanks to their Microsoft connections. Games such as Fable II and Halo have been 2 of the most successful game recently and both have been exclusive to the Xbox which has given Microsoft a huge boost in terms of profit and popularity.
Many people claim they are the best at one certain game but recently a tournament was set up in Dubai to prove once and for all who the true champion was. The tournament was played using the football game Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 and lasted over 2 days were all those who qualify from their respective groups will have the chance to win a 2010 Chevrolet Cruse car.
These tournaments take place on regular occasions on various games and with online gaming so popular many people have mini tournaments with friends and other gamers across the world. Online gaming has made these games consoles even more tempting as playing against another human being (rather than the computer) is more appealing to a lot of people.
The Xbox 360 can be purchased at a range of shops with a recommended retail price of £130 but this depends on the amount of memory space you are looking for. The Xbox is a great console that will guarantee hours of fun and at such a competitive price it competes with the other leading consoles.
Shopping online can help you find cheap Xbox deals and with a range available now is the time to go online and compare Xbox 360 console and games.
