ultimate XBox 360

The Xbox 360 is Microsoft's successor to their Xbox video game console, aka "Xbox 2". The console is scheduled to be released on November 22, 2005 in North America (two days before the American Thanksgiving and three days before Black Friday, one of the biggest shopping days of the year in the United States), December 2 in Europe, December 10 in Japan, and elsewhere in early 2006. The Xbox 360 will compete against the upcoming generation of consoles, including the Sony PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Revolution. In United States and Europe, the console will be offered in two versions: an Xbox 360 Core System and Xbox 360 Premium Edition. The entry-level $299 core system includes the basics: the game system, a wired controller (the system has built-in wireless support for controllers) and standard video cables. A $399 premium package includes the console, a detachable 20GB hard drive, wireless controller, headset and cables for connecting to an HDTV and a home computer network. Sold separately, the hard drive costs $100; wireless controller, $50; and headset, $20. But if you want to save games you will need a 64MB memory unit ($40) to save games, so Premium version will give you more bang for buck. Here is the list of XBOX 360 games for this Holiday season.
