The Xbox 360 is without a doubt one of the most common names that you come across when
you explore the world of video games. This console, from Microsoft, has been around for some
time now and has been successful in building up an impressive fan following among passionate
gaming fans. The games that you can play on Xbox 360 can be downloaded from the internet,
bought from game specific stores like GameStop, electronic stores such as Best Buy,
department stores like Walmart, and many more retailers. However, the question that remains in
the minds of those who play games regularly and devotedly is whether the Xbox 360 is indeed
the best option? Let us see.
The Pros and Cons of Xbox 360:
Any person who is well aware of the gaming scenario can tell you that Xbox 360 has some
features that are truly admirable. The amount of dedication that Microsoft has shown in building
it is quite evident. Most will argue that the graphics on Xbox 360 beats its competitors hands
down. This includes the very popular PS3.
Any Xbox 360 admirer will also tell you that it has the finesse that one would want while playing
games. The pixilation is negligible, the play is very smooth, and the graphics are of course, high
quality. On top of that, this console is not too costly, which may lead you to get the best buy.
Whether you buy one from WalMart or elsewhere, the Xbox 360 is value for money.
No, we are not saying that this console is very cheap and easy on the pocket. But then, neither
are any of the other consoles in the market. What we are saying is that if you get your hands on
a Xbox 360 package, then it might be considerably more affordable. For example, the Xbox 360
Walmart price is somewhere around $300. It can be a little more or even less, depending on the
package that you are opting for. The WalMart price or the Xbox 360 Best Buy packages usually
include a popular game or two.
Therefore, prices vary according to this factor. However, the best price or price in general is not
the sole factor in determining the popularity of a gaming console. The other important factor is
the variety and availability of games. As we have mentioned earlier, you can get a whole range
of Xbox games at GameStop and many other retailers. Apart from this, the Xbox has another
trick up its sleeve.

2. Xbox live is a service that enhances your entire gaming experience on the Xbox 360. You can
play the popular controller or the Kinect games online with friends who might be sitting in
another part of the world, or on the other side of the neighbourhood. Along with that, you could
watch movies, shows, sports, or whatever else that interests you. Normally, the Xbox live
membership is something you would pay for, however, there are certain days or weekends
when Microsoft allows these benefits free.
The Xbox 360 vs. PS3 Debate:
If you
are a passionate gamer, you must have had this argument one time or the other. Which is
better? Microsoft’s Xbox 360 or Sony’s PlayStation 3? Let us be frank. This debate has no
one-word answer. The fans of both products continue to find the best points within them and
pitch them against each other.
However, what we can say is that the Xbox is certainly a little more popular in the U.S,
than PS3. The best feature of the PlayStation is that one can browse the internet on it. This is
something that Xbox is lacking. However, apart from this, the argument about which console
offers an overall better experience, goes on and on. Many will even point out some flaws with
the browsing facility, e.g. it can be hacked easily.
Therefore, until there is any concrete development in the Xbox 360 vs. PS3 debate, we can say
that Xbox 360 has its own place with its fans and users.
