The hard drive allows you to save games to playback later and install updates that make many older gamescompatible on the new platform. One of the advantages the 360 will have over other gamesystems is graphics. The graphics of other gaming systems aretop notch but on newer games like Project Gotham Racing 3, NFL06 and Call of Duty 2 which were written for this platform,there simply is no comparison.

If you are luckyenough 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 tomake the part of your media center. It can connect to anyother windows networked computer in your house. It can be usedto play movies, slideshows of pictures, and MP3 files. If youown and IPod or digital camera you can also connect themdirectly to the USB port located on the front game console. Lastly you'll want to think about Live.

For hard core gamers there is no choice, they will dopractically anything to get their hands on the newest and latestsystems available. For others it may be worth waiting until 2006when Playstation 3 is released to see how platforms compare. © Copyright.Gamer411.net, All Rights Reserved.
