Xbox 360 Reviews
At the end has already been formally introduced. After many leaks of the new console, we have officially know some things more than the rumors we had advanced. Xbox 360 has finally been filed in the MTV gala that took place last 12th May in USA.
Video addicters Microsoft and all this world were waiting to give birth Xbox 360 officially, because after so many rumors and leaks than anticipated and expected from the console is much as it could be the great rival of the third console Sony (still need to know as Nintendo has with its “Revolution”).
It is expected another day, Microsoft was planning to show your console before anyone else, as Xbox 360 was not going to wait to E3 as their rivals are planning. Keep in mind that PlayStation 3 will be officially presented at E3 though Nintendo “Revolution” is likely to wait some more.
Well, as we discussed before Xbox 360 was made in the MTV show that was hosted by actor Elijah Wood’s famous or better known as “Frodo” from “The Lord of the Rings.” The gala was presented to the console and everything connected with it, announced release dates for Christmas and showed some videos of games that will come with the console. Some of these left much to be desired, probably due to the short duration of most, but as we know it will take long enough to see the most good.
Well now let’s focus on everything that relates to the new console from Microsoft.
A little surprising design …
This time it seems that Xbox has not wanted to risk so much as before and wanted to look a bit the look of your new console. As we have seen the new console from Microsoft seems to be inspired by Apple with a concave shell with the ability to place the console horizontally or vertically as PlayStation 2. Its size is quite large and has a size similar to that of the old PlayStation 2.
The console can be customized to suit specific user, you can place different covers to personalize the console and also the small buttons bearing. This design leaves a little disappointed to some users, as they expected a revolutionary design quite different from the present generation and how we see the appearance of the console is nice but follows the same line as this generation.
For what concerns the external components of the console, we emphasize that the console will front two USB ports hidden in a cap, a port inflarrojos, DVD player and two slots for Memory Card’s (logically also find the button to turn on the console). Behind, we find an Ethernet port and an expansion module for Wi-Fi to connect to Xbox Live when we want.
The command, “Microsoft will have learned the lesson?
This time Microsoft has not played, after many complaints from the first command that was released for Xbox, Microsoft released the famous command Controller S, a much smaller and lighter than the first Xbox controller, and so the public could meet, good results to Microsoft.
And as we have seen Microsoft follows the same lines as Sony because if something goes well and works for change (Sony change very little from his first command of his command Psx Ps2). The new controller for the Xbox 360 is much like the command above. That if, the new controller is wireless and has the same white color of the console with green flashes that give an elegant touch and beautiful as the console.
It also appears that this new controller is a bit lighter and smaller than the Controller S, and buttons have been eliminated black and white to become a new trigger. The command this time include the Select and Start buttons in the control center in addition to the Xbox guide button it will meet in the center with these two and we feed straight into the console’s interactive section where you can watch movies, chat with our friends, listen to music or download patches for our games plus up to quench our console without having to approach it.
The controls working demo with AA batteries, these are rechargeable via USB ports (3 USB ports are two for the controls and one for the camera), it can charge two controllers and play at a time with two others. The wireless system will leave us the opportunity to play four people at once and the new rumble feature called Rumble may customize the user’s taste (up to 4 levels of strength) and the remote control buttons are analog up to 256 levels of pressure. It appears that will sell wireless versions of command.
Storage and Accessories
The storage issue was one of the strengths of Xbox as the black console has not any problem at this point thanks to the hard disk including serial console users could save their games quietly.
The thing will not change because this time the console will have an external hard disk 20 GB which can be exchanged for one of greater capacity (it is said that the hard drive will come standard although it is not entirely clear). With the hard drive can record our games, record music, videos or other things. But besides the hard drive can also purchase a 64 MB memory card so you do not have to carry up and down your hard drive if you want.
As we have seen in regard to accessories, six months after the marketing of the console goes on sale with a camera we could not know yet what can be done, but everything points to follow the trail Eye Toy, plus videoconferencing camera. We may also connect a USB keyboard to talk with our friends, but no word yet on whether the games will, it is probably not well.
Finally, it should be noted that the gala was reported that he had worked on a console ventilation novel in which we find a blend of traditional fan and liquid cooling. Finally been achieved and this console as it has been said will become less noise than its predecessor.
Xbox Live
One of the strengths of Microsoft with its Xbox game has been online, since this service has been substantially better than the Sony that has left much to be desired.
This time Microsoft is again strong bet for the game online, and sign in with Xbox 360 to Xbox Live will be completely free Xbox Live Silver version. In this version we can buy demos, patches and trailers from the games we want and COMPLETELY FREE! something which is undoubtedly incredible. We also find another version of Xbox Live, defined as the Gold version with more demanding users can perform video conferencing, view statistics or settle in rankings of the games they want. The questions about this version is whether pay or free will as the Silver, it appears that this is a paid version.
