Xbox Live
Chat with your friends, compete in online tournaments, and game together over the world's premier online entertainment network. With Xbox Live, all these things are possible. Shop in Xbox Live Marketplace, download additional game content, watch preview videos, and lots, lots more.

Multimedia
Xbox 360 is the perfect centrepiece for your hi-tech living room. Use the wireless Xbox 360 controller to navigate the onscreen menus, or use the Media Centre Remote (sold separately) for point-and-click simplicity.

Xbox 360 shares photos, video files, and music with a Windows Media Centre PC. Additionally, you can view photos and music with a standard Windows XP computer. With Xbox 360, your entertainment choices are nearly limitless. Not only can you play music CDs, but you can rip them to your Xbox 360 Hard Drive (20GB) or Xbox 360 Memory Unit (64MB) and play your tracks in-game.

As an added bonus, Xbox 360 connects to an online music database (CDDB) and automatically identifies and titles your music, so there's no need to type in each song manually. You can also hook any compatible MP3 player to Xbox 360 and stream your tunes without manually transferring all that data.

Want to see your digital photos and home movies? Simply connect the device via USB cable and view your holiday snaps at the touch of a button!

Graphics
If there’s one single element to pick out from the many talents of Xbox 360 that really sets it apart it’s the potential for amazing graphics. With ever-increasing processing power, the visual flair and competence showcased will need to be extraordinary to impress. And they do. The graphics aren't just a step up; they're a quantum leap forward.

Having great potential is good – but seeing potetential realised is even better! That’s why it’s a requirement for all Xbox 360 games to support widescreen formatting and 720 progressive scan. With widescreen as a standard, there’s no need to stretch or zoom images to use the whole screen. The use of 720 progressive scan as a standard means you can enjoy Xbox 360 games at very nearly the best resolution most advanced HDTVs have to offer.

All games are capable of running at 576i (that's the resolution of your standard definition TV), 576p, 720p, and 1080i, so no matter what your TV supports, Xbox 360 has you covered.

So all in all, a fantastic machine. It will keep you entertained for hours!
