With all the games that are out for it and its top of the line graphics you cant resist buying one. I got mine at midnight when they first got to my nearest Gamestop and I cant say I regret spending a cent. Superior selection of games, including several console-exclusive titles; all games in high-definition; easy-to-use Dashboard interface; excellent online gaming and communications via Xbox Live; plays hundreds of (but not all) original Xbox titles; doubles as a superior digital media hub and Windows Media Center extender; online Marketplace allows for easy purchases of downloadable full-scale games, mini-games, movies, and TV shows; latest version offers HDMI output with 1080p support. With its extensive digital media features, a superior online service, and an excellent game library, the Xbox 360 remains the game console to beat. </p>...
