Get the Most Next Gen Titles with the Xbox 360 Game System
Microsoft’s Xbox 360 has a user base of millions of gamers. That figure alone should be enough to convince any skeptic that the console is fun to play. However, the only way to truly enjoy the system is to purchase Xbox 360 games for entertainment. While the console’s Internet, movie, and music capabilities add to the overall value of the system as a home entertainment console, the true backbone of the system lies in its game library. There are several niche markets for Xbox 360 video games, but the more popular ones are bound to entertain you without a doubt.
One Drawback
With the next generation home video format at a close, the HD-DVD format favored by the Xbox 360 game system is now defunct. That means that as of July 2008, the Xbox 360 is still incapable of HD movie playback, while the Playstation 3 has Blu-ray support right out of the box. However, there may be a Blu-ray drive add-on for the Xbox 360 game system in the future (it’s still up in the air), and the Xbox 360 is substantially cheaper than the Playstation 3. Forgetting about next gen movie formats for a bit, the Xbox 360 video game system is also capable of playing normal DVDs, which most people have anyway.
With its built-in hard drive, the Xbox 360 is capable of storing music, and network features allow users to connect to the Internet. If that isn’t enticing enough from a home entertainment standpoint, the Xbox 360 game system will also have Netflix support, so users can rent movies (temporarily downloading them) onto the 60 Gb version. PC users already get to download movies off of Netflix, so this move is just a natural extension of that service.
If you’re a gamer who has held off on buying consoles because of a lack of titles, all of the Xbox 360 video games available today (let alone what will be available a year from now) should be more than enough to convince even the hardest of critics to purchase the Xbox 360 pro system. What they will get for $350 is the most grahically intensive video game console experience. With hundreds of titles to choose from, any gamer will be pleased with the extensive game selection.
