Xbox Controller

Xbox ControllerXbox 360 uses a refined button layout for its Xbox controller. Back and Start buttons sit at the center of the Xbox controller and between them is a new Xbox Guide button, which instantly takes the user to the Xbox 360 user interface. From there, they can check for friends online, access personal digital content like photos and songs, and more. The black and white buttons of the first Xbox controller have been replaced with new shoulder buttons placed above the left and right triggers. Xbox 360 can accommodate up to four wireless Xbox controllers and has three USB 2.0 slots to use for each wired Xbox controller or for streaming your digital media from digital cameras, MP3 players, and any Windows XP-based PC. Microsoft has also created a video-conferencing camera, sold separately, that will work with the system.

 

Xbox System

All Xbox games titles can be played in either standard or high-definition resolution in 16:9 widescreen, with anti-aliasing for smoother graphics. Game designers will be able to take advantage of the Xbox system's multi-channel surround sound. The Xbox 360's digital media allows users to supplement any game's music from tracks in their own personal library.

A 12x dual-layer DVD-ROM drive plays both the game media and progressive-scan DVD movies right out of the box. For game-save and media storage, you choose between detachable and upgradeable 60GB Xbox hard drive, or a 64MB flash Memory Unit (sold separately). Also, the hard drive will make the Xbox 360 backward-compatible for part of the existing Xbox game library.

Xbox Live

A built-in Ethernet port allows users to connect their system to a broadband connection for access to Xbox Live. The Xbox Live Silver Membership included with the Xbox console lets anyone create a Gamertag and gamer card to express your online identity, chat live with voice chat, and connect to the Xbox Live Marketplace to buy expansions, maps, and other digital items for your games. You can also update to a Xbox Live Gold Membership at anytime for even more benefits. The separately sold wireless adapter supports the common 802.11a, -b, and -g standards.

Xbox 360 Bundle Reviews

"The Lego game is actually very fun and the Kungfu panda game reminds me of the old Spyro games on the PS2. I really recommend you buy the Xbox 360 from Amazon if you are indeed looking out for one, you can be sure it's a recent model from September unlike other stores where you'd have to hunt for them."

" Controllers are fantastic much better feeling then PS3 controllers and have more weight to it which is a plus adds to it's durability."


"I had a 20GB 360 about a year ago. That thing would overheat (but not die) unless I had it in a vertical position, angled just right so most of the bottom was unsupported. I didn't have HD at the time and wasn't finding a lot of games that I like so I sold it. But now that I have a big screen HD, and many games have come out, I bought this holiday set. I probably would have bought the Lego game by itself so this was a treat.

I almost bought the Arcade version but knew that I'd need a hard drive for game demos and saves.

The two games are in the same case and I almost thought they weren't in the box! The game case is stored on the inside of one of the walls of box. I seriously thought I got shorted the games until I finally ripped the box apart more.

All in all this was a great purchase. I have the unit horizontal on a table with no heat issues at all. The power supply is orange/amber when not in use, which I thought meant something was wrong, but it just means standby.

If you're in the market for a new 360 you'd be almost nuts to pass this bundle up - much better than last years. The Marvel game had last-gen graphics and the racing game was forgettable. I can't wait to play Lego Indiana Jones!"


"I purchased this bundle late last month, It arrived on time, no problems whatsoever. This system is amazing, more so now that the NXE (New xbox experience) update is out, the interface is extremely user friendly and there's so much to do without even putting in a disc. From streaming video and music from your pc to your xbox, downloading game demos, creating and customising your avatars, checking out and previewing upcoming games, movies, trailers... just to mention a few things. It'll keep you occupied for quite some time.

For me the 60 gig hard drive is adequate, you really only get 48 or so gigs and change, but that's the case with computers on a whole, so no real shocker there.

Anyone who would've done any research at all would know about the RROD (red ring of death) problem that has plagued the 360 since it's release. The good news is that Microsoft has made some adjustments with the latest batch of 360s that actually looks quite promising. Just make sure your system was made during the last quarter of this year. My system runs rather quietly, I was quite surprised at that after hearing about the 360 being the noisiest system around. It does hum, but not to the level where it distracts or is even noticable. Straight out of the box I've laid the system horizontally and mounted it on a stack of video cassettes so it could "breath" properly and receive adequate ventilation, it even has a dedicated fan on at all times. This really is a system that needs to be cared, so before your purchase put some plans in place to ensure you receive the longest life out of your system."
