Under the Hood of Xbox 360
Xbox 360 is much smaller than its predecessor--it measures
approximately 3.3 by 12.2 by 10.2 inches and weighs 7.7 lbs. It's
powered by custom IBM PowerPC-based CPU with three symmetrical
cores each running at 3.2 GHz. It also carries a custom ATI
graphics processor with 10 MB of embedded DRAM. This is powerful
enough to draw 500 million triangles per second. In other words, it
makes for great looking games on standard TVs, and even better
looking ones on HDTV sets thanks to built-in support for HDTV
(720p/1080i/1080p) resolutions.
The unit has a 12x dual-layer DVD-ROM drive, which plays both
the game media and progressive-scan DVD movies right out of the
box.
Control your Gameplay
The Xbox 360 Arcade System comes with one Xbox 360 Wireless Controller with rumble. Xbox 360 uses a
refined button layout for its controllers. Back and Start buttons
sit at the center of the controller and between them is a new Xbox
Guide button, which instantly takes the user to the Xbox 360 user
"Dashboard" interface. From there, they can check for friends
online, access personal digital content like photos songs, and
more. The black and white buttons of the first Xbox controllers
have been replaced with new shoulder buttons placed above the left
and right triggers. The Xbox 360 can accommodate up to four
wireless controllers and has three USB 2.0 slots to use for wired
controllers 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.
The Media Experience
All Xbox 360 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 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. Five titles are bundled
on a single disc included with the Xbox 360 Arcade System. These
are:
- Feeding Frenzy
- Luxor 2
- Boom Boom Rocket
- Pac-Man Championship Edition
- Uno
Go LIVE
Xbox 360's built-in Ethernet port allows users to connect their
system to the Xbox LIVE service via their broadband connection.
Utilize the free Xbox LIVE Silver Membership included with your
console or upgrade to a Gold
Membership to create a Gamertag and gamer card to express your
online identity, chat live with voice chat (separately sold headset
