Xbox 360 Countdown...7 Days
We've written quite a bit here about the much anticipated Xbox 360 that makes it's debut this month on the 22nd. Leading up the official Xbox 360 release, we'll do our best to keep you in the loop and updated with breaking Xbox 360 news.
The core Xbox 360 system runs $299, and the upgraded premium model goes for an extra $100. But both will do more than just play games - they will also be able to play DVDs, download music and store photos. The premium edition Xbox 360, which includes accessories such as a wireless controller, headset and detachable hard drive that lets you take the game with you. Sold separately, those accessories would cost an additional $225. Sounds like a media center, huh?
The new Xbox was designed for high-definition TV. The Chicago Sun Times tested the unit at home on both a standard television and an HDTV on the highest resolution possible. On the standard TV, the graphics were better than those on the current Xbox, but things were really noticeable on the HDTV.
Here's what the sun times writers had to say:
"In Madden, snowflakes randomly fell during a Bears game at Soldier Field, and it was cold enough to see the players' breath. With Tiger Woods you could make out the individual blades of grass better in high-definition. Everything was just crisper, which means if you don't currently own an HDTV, this could prompt you to buy one now."
I guess that means I'll have both the Xbox 360 and an HDTV on my Christmas list this year:-)
