IXBOX 360 comes after the release of Microsoft’s Xbox gaming console. Its competitors include Sony’s Playstation 3 and Nintendo’s WII. XBOX 360 integrates “Xbox Live” on the gaming console allowing online interaction based on user’s account whether gold or silver. Apart from the built-in feature of Windows Media Center multimedia enhancements, several applications can be downloaded to maximize its efficiency.

XBOX 360 units are available worldwide and it was first released in Japan. It can be configured in two ways: “arcade mode” or “elite”. XBOX 360 Arcade is the entry level released last October, 2007. It initially has 256MB of memory and it upgradable to elite version. To make the most of gaming experience, one can simply purchase an external hard drive with the size of 120GB. Since this would mean another expense, it is recommended to purchase the Xbox Elite instead not to mention that there is no headset and network cable provided in this version.

Xbox 360 Elite on the other hand is definitely the better counterpart of Arcade version. There are lots of improvements from the original Xbox 360 which make more users hooked with this one. It has an excellent selection of games including Xbox exclusives. Each game is of good quality and high definition. This “Elite” has a wider range of supportability including wireless controllers and other accessories in a network.

The Xbox Live service that is associated with Xbox Elite offers unlimited games plus multiplayer option with matchmaking and voice chat. Most of the latest games can be downloaded here including those that are backward compatible. Though it depends on the Xbox titles, visiting this online community is still worth the player’s time.

Some of the few services in Xbox Live online are buying of mini games, downloading of game add-ons, searching for newest game and others. But playing online requires paid subscription. More digital media features and exceptional games in this console make Xbox more famous.

Xbox 360 Dashboard has a dazzling look such as that of TiVo. The slick and user-friendly interface make the navigation easier and enjoyable. Various features have their own color-coded tabs and you can check each of them using the directional keypad. The dashboard can also be customized depending on the user’s preference. Those preset themes can be found on the hard drive and available on the internet as well. One of the remarkable personalizations that you can do is the Gamer Card comprised of your avatar and status message not more than 21 characters in length.

Xbox 360 Elite is also an efficient digital media hum aside from being a gaming console. To read your media files, you can simply install supported software first just like Microsoft’s Windows Media Player, Windows Media Connect and Zune software. It can work perfectly well with your digital cameras, flash card readers, thumb drives and MP3 players. More network devices can be connected as well including your CD or DVD players. These flexible features make Xbox Elite a reliable media tool and a great gaming console competitor.
