Amazon.com Product Description
| Xbox 360 sets a new pace for digital entertainment. More than just a cutting-edge game system, Xbox 360 also integrates high-definition video, DVD movie playback, digital music, photos, and online connectivity into one sleek, small tower. Under the Hood
 | | Xbox 360, shown with wireless controller, is a sleek, customizable gaming and entertainment system | Xbox 360 is much smaller than its predecessor--it measures approximately 3.3 by 12.2 by 10.2 inches and weighs 7.7 lbs. It's powered by custom IBM PowerPC-based CPU with three symmetrical cores each running at 3.2 GHz. It also carries a custom ATI graphics processor 10 MB of embedded DRAM. This is powerful enough to draw 500 million triangles per second. In other words, it makes for great looking games in standard TV definition, and even better thanks to built-in support for HDTV 1080i televisions. It also supports the widescreen 16:9 format. The unit has a 12x dual-layer DVD-ROM drive, which plays both the game media and progressive-scan DVD movies right out of the box. For game-save and media storage this console package includes a 120GB hard drive. Along with storing files, the hard drive will make the Xbox 360 backward-compatible with part of the existing Xbox game library. Control your Gameplay
Xbox 360 uses a refined button layout for its controllers. Back and Start buttons sit at the center of the controller and between them is a new Xbox Guide button, which instantly takes the user to the Xbox 360 user interface. From there, they can check for friends online, access personal digital content like photos and songs, and more. The black and white buttons of the first Xbox controllers have been replaced with new shoulder buttons placed above the left and right triggers. Xbox 360 can accommodate up to four wireless controllers and has three USB 2.0 slots to use for wired controllers or for streaming your digital media from digital cameras, MP3 players, and any Windows XP-based PC. Microsoft has also created a video-conferencing camera, sold separately, that will work with the system.  | | Xbox 360 shown with the ultimate gaming package | The Media Experience
All Xbox 360 titles can be played in either standard or high-definition resolution in 16:9 widescreen, with anti-aliasing for smoother graphics. Game designers will be able to take advantage of the system's multi-channel surround sound. The Xbox 360's digital media allows users to supplement any game's music from tracks in their own personal library. 
Go Live
A built-in Ethernet port allows users to connect their system to a broadband connection for access to the new Xbox Live Silver. The included service lets anyone create a Gamertag and gamer card to express your online identity, chat live with voice chat, and connect to the Xbox Live Marketplace to buy expansions, maps, and other digital items for your games. The subscription service Xbox Live Gold adds to that online competition, game stats, and video chat/messaging. The separately sold wireless adapter supports the common 802.11a, -b, and -g standards.

Summary: KISS 2008-11-26
Comment: While the xBox 360 appears to be a good gaming computer, I find the software within the Microsoft product to be too combersome. The software developers at Microsoft need to learn the simple axiom, "KISS", Keep It Simple Stupid.
The can be applied for their games. I realize most game are developed for the younger crowd, but there are older folks like myself that do like to play games. In my opinion, many of the games Microsoft develope reguire you to remember too many stick movememts, clicks, etc, to play the game. That said though, I do admit at least some of the games do have tutorials which teach you the various moves that have to be made when playing a particular game. For an older person, temembering the moves is another thing.
The other issue is the cost of games, and the obsolence nature of the games. Many of the games become obsolete in a very short time and a new version of the game is issued, often at an exorbitant price. The new version don't really have a great deal of differance from the older versions which makes me wonder how justified Microsoft is in asking such high prices for their new games.
Fortunately, there is GameStop, which allows xBox owners the ability to purchase used games at a substancially lower price. Why Microsoft doesn't follow the example of the fast food industry when it comes to games they sell is beyond me. Would you rather sell 100 games at $60 per game, or sell 1000 games at $30?

Summary: Don't shoot the messenger! 2008-11-24
Comment: I bought this as an early gift for my adult daughter and her boyfriend since they won't be here for Christmas ... and they say it's fantastic! Don't ask me what HDMI means or why you need a 120 GB hard drive to play video games?? This bundle was the best package and price deal I could find and I shopped at least four other local stores, plus Walmart, Costco, Best Buy and Game Stop online. I also purchased an extra wireless controller thru Amazon (it only comes with one ... go figure) because the price was competitive and it was also available in the same color as the base unit. I would still suggest rechecking all those stores as many are having great Christmas sales with the economy like it is. Still finding it hard to believe game systems cost as much as a home PC these days!

Summary: the best gaming system, but the least reliable 2008-11-01
Comment: I have owned the the 360 premium for about a year and half. It is the white version that has the 20GB hard drive and does not have HDMI hookup. If I was buying today I would purchase the elite version, because I prefer the slick black color and I'd want the 120GB hard drive and the HDMI hookup. My sister has purchased this bundle here. The two games enclosed are kids games and they suck. It is not worth paying extra for the bundle to get the games, however I believe it was the same price to buy the system without.
The xbox 360 is the best gaming system. The nintendo wii is still using old school standard definition graphics and features almost nothing but kids games. The playstation 3 features a superior cell processor, better reliability, and plays blue ray discs, making it a worthwhile buy. However, it is more expensive and continues to suffer from a lack of games.
My 360 suffered the red ring of death, and had to be sent in. I received it back in about a month, and have not had that problem since. However the did not fix the disc drive problem. My unit frequently suffers from disc read errors causing the games to freeze, on every game I've have played. The newer units are supposedly using a new chip and disc drive to cut down on reliability issues, but failure rates are still much higher then competing systems.
You can find periodic coupons for use at DELL online to save anywhere from 50 to 100 dollars of the system.

Summary: Great Deal! 2008-10-26
Comment: i wouldn't consider this so much a holiday bundle because ive seen plenty of times where xbox's were release with 2 game i.e. mine with marvel comic game/forza motorsports 2...at least its $400 instead of $450 now..the legos indiana jones game is fun for all ages but can be pretty complex with the puzzels if your really young but im sure the kung fu panda game will fullfill the younger generation..honestly though the xbox 360 is for the older generation i would suggest people purchase the wii if your purchasing for a kid
