The Xbox 360, a parental guide to this game console.
Xbox 360 is the next generation of the Microsoft Xbox. The Xbox
360 can easily be compared to a computer designed for gamming.
Most of the games available work on most of the newer Microsoft
platforms, (windows).
XBOX 360
There are two versions of the Xbox 360, the "Xbox 360" and the
"Xbox 360 Core System".
The most important difference between the two is the detachable
20 Gb hard drive. This makes the use of previous Xbox games
possible.
As well as to play original Xbox game, the Xbox 360 enable you
to play online.
The new Xbox 360 offers very attractive incentives for game
developers to release new titles.
Technical background
The Xbox 360 can easily be compared to a media computer. The
graphic card is a powerful ATI 500 MHz chip with 10MB of memory
built on the chip.
The CPU itself, (actually 3 processors), is a 3.2GHz liquid
cooled IBM using 512MB of memory, (shared between the graphics
and the CPU).
The more expensive Xbox 360 has a removable 20GB hard drive and
both system use a 12x DVD-ROM unit. Up to four controllers can
be connected to the machine, all wirelessly, and there are three
standard USB 2.0 port
too.
As a rule of thumb, what ever you can plug in your Windows XP
machine USB port can be plugged into the Xbox 360. That includes
MP3 players, (like the iPod), digital cameras and so on.
This makes the Xbox 360 a very powerful tool to add.
How many games are really available?
The Xbox 360 was launched late 2005, (Xbox was
discontinued in august that year), and there are well over 200
games available from the previous version.
As mentioned above only the version with the detachable
hard-drive allows you to use the previous games created for Xbox.
Otherwise the current Xbox 360 only has about 15 games solely
developed for the Xbox 360. But with the Microsoft muscle behind
it, game developers are likely to rapidly develop new games for
it.

360.
