The Xbox 360 heads into the console war as leader of the pack and charges into your living room, game room and car with a mighty ROAR!   Xbox 360 combines the world's most powerful hardware, software and services to change the way every man, woman and child thinks about gaming and entertainment!

Backwards Compatability

Xbox games played on the Xbox 360 will be enhanced in a couple of ways. First, every game will be upscaled to 720p and 1080i, so if you have an HDTV your Xbox games are going to look even better than ever. The other way it will look better is that it will take advantage of anti-aliasing which will produce a much sharper picture than was possible on the original Xbox.

The Games

More than 200 games will work at launch including Halo, Halo 2, Knights of the Old Republic I and II, Ninja Gaiden, Ninja Gaiden Black, Dead or Alive 3, Fable, Forza Motorsport, Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City, San Andreas, Half-Life 2, Need for Speed Underground 2, and many more. Keep in mind that more games will be certified for backwards compatability all the time, and you can see what titles work at Xbox.com.

Dolby Interactive Sound And Decoding

Xbox 360 includes both interactive Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound for game play, as well as Dolby Digital decoding for video playback.

For game play, the Xbox 360 features interactive Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound, allowing next-generation games on this platform to deliver a highly realistic sound field that places gamers in the middle of the action. Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound gives gamers a competitive advantage by allowing them to hear enemies that may not be visible on the screen.

Enter Into The Next Generation

Console and PC gamers have long been divided into two camps. Sure, there are those of us who play on multiple platforms, but hard-core PC gamers tend to be, well, hard-core PC gamers and eschew "mainstream" console games, while committed console gamers can sometimes be heard bashing PC gamers as elitist nerds. While there's nothing wrong with drawing your own distinction, what's clear--at least for the moment, anyway--is that Microsoft's Xbox 360 makes the line between PC and console gaming almost disappear. Yes, this is a console, with game controllers and A/V cables that are designed to interface with your TV--preferably of the HD variety--but Microsoft has essentially packed a high-end PC gaming rig into an awesome case that fits into any A/V rack or cabinet. Unlike Playstation 2, Xbox 360 also has a user interface that rivals even TiVo in terms of slick presentation and ease of use, plus a host of digital media and networking features, helps elevate the already-good Xbox experience to a Whole New Level. This is the Next Generation Of Gaming Intelligence! Do Not Be Left Behind!
