Should You Upgrade To An XBox 360
The XBox 360 is going to be one of the most sought after gifts
of this upcoming holiday season. However many people want to
know is it worth upgrading now, or should you wait, here are
some factors you may want to consider.
The base price for and XBox 360 is $300, the most common
accessories are the 20GB hard drive ($100), wireless controllers
($50) and headsets ($20). Many vendors are offering packages
with a variety of options with prices of $500 or more. While
some of these options depend on your gaming style and
preferences the hard drive is the one option we recommend you
get right away. The hard drive allows you to save games to play
back later and install updates that make many older games
compatible on the new platform.
One of the advantages the XBox 360 will have over other game
systems is graphics. The graphics of other gaming systems are
top notch but on newer games like Project Gotham Racing 3, NFL
06 and Call of Duty 2 which were written for this platform,
there simply is no comparison. When you compare the
specifications the XBox 360 to any of its competitors, it's
anywhere from 2 to 10 times more powerful. If you are lucky
enough to own and HDTV you will really notice the
difference,
although it will work on standard TV's as well.
With this console Microsoft is also making a concerted effort to
make the Xbox part of your media center. It can connect to any
other windows networked computer in your house. It can be used
to play movies, slideshows of pictures, and MP3 files. If you
own and IPod or digital camera you can also connect them
directly to the USB port located on the front game console.
Lastly you'll want to think about Xbox Live. This is a paid
online membership that allows you to get free trials of new
games and play in head to head action against other players over
your high speed internet connection. You also have access to
updates and patches as they become available.
For hard core gamers there is no choice, they will do
practically anything to get their hands on the newest and latest
systems available. For others it may be worth waiting until 2006
when Playstation 3 is released to see how platforms compare.
