Microsoft Xbox 360: A Hardcore Gamer’s Delight

Microsoft’s Xbox 360 debuted in 2010 as a hardcore gaming consul for committed players, but it’s since been redesigned to suit casual users by adding online content to its previously-purist interface. For that reason, it’s become a media hub that doesn’t limit its entertainment to games, serving up streamed television, social networking, and multi-language content. Find new and used Microsoft Xbox 360’s on eBay.

Interface and body changes since launch?

The 360 has a dashboard that’s based on Windows 8 and the Metro design language. It supports a massive range of entertainment, including video through VideoKINECT and streaming. It has BBC apps, Sky TV, and Five on Demand, along with music support. In terms of body, its side grill and fan are built for over-clocking, and its buttons have been reinvented to deliver more responsiveness. It accepts five standard USB sticks and has a quieter disc drive than the launch product.

Does the Xbox 360 offer a backward-compatible game library?

The 360 supports all classic Xbox titles, including retro blockbusters like Fallout 3 and Call of Duty. Your games are accessed from the Apps menu, and you can transfer your saves through cloud storage. It also supports digital downloads, so accessing all the classic titles just became a lot easier. If you're intending on loading games via the USB drives, Microsoft has developed a plug-and-play system powered by SanDisc.

Storage capacity of the Microsoft Xbox 360

The Xbox 360’s drive can store a maximum of two terabytes of content, so you won’t need to uninstall your games to clear room for new ones. The USB drive supports over a gigabyte of storage capacity in the Windows FAT32 format. It can reformat your flash drive in just a few steps, which are so easy even a technophobe can manage them. The Xbox 360 comes with a pocket-friendly price, an impressive 512MB of RAM, and a user-friendly interface. It’s thus become a consul of choice for casual gamers seeking a more holistic entertainment system. If you’re in the market for a cheap Microsoft Xbox 360 on eBay, this consul offers multiplayer gaming and a free Silver account for managing your library.

How does the Xbox 360 organise games?

Microsoft’s 360 consul stores games in a disc tray and via a customizable home tab. Its Guide button can be found on your controller, giving experienced gamers easy access to their libraries. It also offers:

  • A Bing-powered search feature for tracking your games and films.
  • An online game search function for finding games on demand.
  • A separate menu for the Kinect control.
  • A voice search feature that links to Bing.
  • The freedom to choose voice, gesture, or controller searches.
