Microsoft Xbox - 8 GB Black

The XBOX is Microsofts first entry into the game console world. When it first came out it had its share of lack luster titles, with the exception of Halo. For that generation the XBOX was the most powerful and fully featured console. You can play games, DVD movies (with the playback kit), and you could listen to CD's and store them on the built-in harddrive. What really gave the XBOX it's advantage was XBOX Live. An online service that allowed gamers to play against anyone in the world with an XBOX and LiVE. This was truly a remarkable step for the gaming community since Microsoft seems to be the only company that was able to successfully pull it off. LiVE adds hundreds more replay hours to games since each time you go on it's a new challenge. The XBOX is also powerful enough to provide 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound (in compatible games) to provide an even more astounding gaming experience. The XBOX is now on par with the PSTwo in terms of quality titles with the exception of having really stellar RPG's. But for fans of action oriented games the XBOX is now a very affordable package to consider.
