Publishers Description:

Xbox 360 ignites a new era of digital entertainment that is always connected, always personalized, and always in high definition. It is the only system designed with a singular platform vision that combines the most-powerful hardware with intelligent software and services.

With more than one teraflop of system-floating point performance, a three-core PowerPC-based CPU for the most-advanced artificial intelligence and physics processing, a custom ATI graphics processor and more than 512 megabytes of memory for the ultimate in visual fidelity, the Xbox 360 hardware is a perfect blend of power, elegance, and balance. When combined with unrivaled XNA software development tools, game creators can produce truly believable, thriving worlds

Xbox 360 redefines what games look like, sound like, feel like, and play like to engage you like never before. With Xbox 360, epic worlds are alive with detail, from thunderous skies rumbling over a mountain range to tiny blades of grass rustling together in the breeze. Vibrant characters display depth of emotion to evoke more dramatic responses, immersing you in the experience like never before. You'll see all Xbox 360 titles at 720p resolution in 16:9 widescreen, with anti-aliasing for smooth, movie-like graphics and multi-channel surround sound.

Every Xbox 360 system has built-in progressive scan DVD movie, CD music and photo playback support. The integration of Xbox Live into the system lets players receive game invites from friends while they're watching movies or listening to music. And every MP3 player, digital camera, and Windows XP PC plugs right into the Xbox 360 USB 2.0 ports to stream music and photos through any home-entertainment system.

Connect Xbox 360 to a broadband connection, and it's on. With a free level of Xbox Live service, players can share their Gamer Profile - comprised of user-generated information such as Achievements (rewards players have earned in games), Gamerzone (style of play), and a custom-created Gamertile (a visual icon to represent the gamer online) - with their friends in the community. And with the free level of Xbox Live, players can send and receive text and voice messages to friends, as well as engage in Xbox Live voice chat anywhere, anytime, even if one person is playing a game while the other is watching a progressive-scan enabled DVD movie. Also available is the Xbox Live Marketplace, a one-stop shop to download demos and trailers, new game levels, maps, weapons, vehicles, skins, community-created content, and more to the detachable Xbox 360 hard drive.

Xbox Live members who subscribe to the premium service can experience the thrill of multiplayer online game play. Gamer Profiles will provide a foundation for intelligent matchmaking, so players of similar skill levels and interests can quickly and easily connect and the Xbox Live Camera peripheral will let gamers add their own faces into games and see their friends while they play. Other Xbox Live features for premium members include video messaging, online tournaments and ladders, and exclusive, original programming such as playing with celebrities online and joining sponsored tournaments to win prizes. And all Xbox 360 owners who sign on to Xbox Live for the first time can kick-start their experience with a free month of the full subscription service, which will let them experience the full power of Xbox Live.

Additionally, with built in Windows Media Center Extender functionality in every system, Xbox 360 players can access recorded TV and digital movies, music, video and photos stored on Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005-based PCs .

Xbox 360 also opens the door to incredible, new high definition entertainment. In addition to optimizing all Xbox 360 games for high definition, Xbox 360 will stream high definition TV and movies stored on Windows Media Center Edition PCs starting this holiday. As high definition entertainment becomes more pervasive, Microsoft will offer more ways to experience high definition TV and movies in any room in the house, any way people want it. Whether dropping an opical disc in a drive, streaming to Xbox 360, or through broadband distribution, Xbox 360 will let players choose how to light up their HD content.
