My Gaming History : Microsoft XBOX 360

Microsoft XBOX 360 (2005 to Present)


In 2006, I had been thinking about buying a new console, the XBOX 360 caught my eye due to its use of high definition graphics, quality sound and XBOX Live community. The PlayStation 3 seemed a long way off and I want to play high quality games without the fuss or expense of upgrading my PCs. The XBOX 360 delivers, but check out the system specification yourself;
