Xbox Gears Of War
Xbox Gears Of War
Strengths: HD 720p/1080i, exceptional online, a wide selection of exclusive titles, decent price.
Cons: No Blu Ray compatible, the cost of Live.
Summary
Microsoft hit hard 7th gen consoles with the Xbox 360. Its improved Xbox Live and 720p/1080i compatibility makes it the best online system, and with online play top-list, it is hard to beat.
Introduction
Microsoft Xbox has been a success among the players, for more on the maturity level of play rather than focusing on competing E – T rated games. The 360 has pushed the competition closer to the adult audience, and improved its online capabilities beyond that of Sony (you get what you pay), a good start to the 5th generation of consoles.
Features and design
The design of the 360 is a significant improvement over the original, which seemed to anchor my house down in case of storms. Its simple design and white is nicer than the big block of black ash, and is much more convenient for any entertainment center in his ability to go vertical and horizontal. Be careful not to exercise this option during gameplay, it has cost my buddy another copy of Call of Duty 4. Another design part of it is facade interchangeably, which I think is quite unnecessary, but if you really want a different color look is a little Nice arrangements.
Both wireless and wired controllers are used for the system, which is Perk if you do not want to charge batteries or buying new quite so often. These controllers are great, by the elimination of white and black buttons was a good decision, and the introduction of bumpers left and right, it brings to perfection. The only problem I experienced is to hit the HOME button of the accident while in middle of a intense match. Xbox Home is easily navigable and offers many great pages, including the Xbox Live Arcade, trailers and previews, Netflix, and the latest feature that allows you to create your own avatar and others see. " It is certainly a little more user friendly than the PlayStation 3's home menu.
Great success of Microsoft Xbox Live. If (roughly) $ 5 per month is all it takes to a player to acquire a fantastic online experience, I think I might buy two. The only problem with the price however is $ 99.99 without Networking Wireless N Adapter. What a pile of shit, Microsoft, throw us a bone here. Sony gives you a free one! More services online for free! Well, with the total costs $ 5 per month plus $ 100 for the adapter, you better expect some great service. And that's exactly what you get. Easily navigable pages, friends lists and features, starting to chat with friends, game invites, messaging, game jump, and dedicated servers. Xbox nailed Live with them, and no console is comparable.
The Xbox 360's hardware is great, even if it does not compare very well with the PS3. The processing capacity is top notch with 3 custom CPUs, each clocked at 3.2 GHz push and custom 500MHz, 10MB ATI.
An error was the use DVD instead of the new Blu Ray, which could contain up to 50 GB of information on one disc! I pay for, rather than any downloadable content. More Blu Ray is compatible with high graphics settings.
But say, why get a 360 when I can get a Wii revolutionary or Playstation 3 beautiful? Because of two main reasons: on-line and exclusive tracks. The 360 outperforms the two systems with you live (especially pathetic excuse Nintendo for "Online Game"). And the two competitors did not come close to the 360 titles like Gears of War and Halo. With attachment to the Wii (awful) party games, and PS3 with a higher price, you can see why the 360 is a good choice.
