Meghan HurleyAlthough Microsoft released the Xbox 360 over a year ago, it is still in high demand this holiday. Listed at $299 for a core system, and $399 for a premium packaged system, the unit is right in the middle of pricings between the Nintendo Wii and Playstation 3.
Last November, when the Xbox 360 debuted and sold out in hours, Microsoft was pleased with the success of their innovative ideas. Wireless controllers, an internal hard drive, backward capability and wireless internet capabilities are just a few of the Xbox 360s features. All of which are now features on the Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii.
Another feature of the Xbox 360 is its high definition capabilities. Xbox.com said, “The folks here at Xbox have taken a bold step by declaring that all games that appear on the Xbox 360 video game system will support high-definition resolutions.” With the ever growing popularity of high-definition televisions, the capabilities of the Xbox 360 are very compatible.
An added plus to the Xbox 360, as compared to the Nintendo Wii and Playstation 3, is the ability to read opinions of those who already have the system. Due to the fact that it was released last November, buyers who like to play it safe can find millions of reviews online about the Xbox 360 and research it before starting their holiday shopping.
