Product Information
Hardware, software, and services: Unveiled to the world on MTV on Thursday,
May 12, 2005, Xbox 360 represents a dramatic leap forward in high-definition
gaming and entertainment experiences. Fusing powerful hardware, software, and
services, Xbox 360 fully engages you in a gaming experience that is more expansive,
dramatic, and lifelike, where the possibilities are limitless and your imagination
knows no boundaries. The next generation is here.
Industrial design: A merger of form and function, Xbox 360 wraps powerful technology
in a sophisticated exterior. Two of the most innovative design firms in the
world—San Francisco-based Astro Studios and Osaka, Japan-based Hers Experimental
Design Laboratory Inc.—came together to craft a sleek, stylish system
that conveys the very essence of Xbox 360.
Xbox Gamer Guide: The Xbox Gamer Guide is an entertainment gateway that instantly
connects you to your games, friends, music, movies, and downloadable content.
Available at a touch of the Xbox Guide Button, the Xbox Gamer Guide gives you
instant access to the experiences and content you want, from the gamer card
of the player that just invited you to play online to new downloadable content
for the game currently running.
Personalized interface: Xbox 360 lets you create your own unique system and
experience. With interchangeable Xbox 360 Faces, it's easy and fun to change
the appearance of your console. Switch on your system and customize the look
and feel of the Xbox Gamer Guide and Xbox System Guide with unique "skins."
From sleek and sophisticated to fun and funky, pick the Faces and skins that
show your personality.
Ring of Light and Xbox Guide Button: Divided into four quadrants, the glowing
Ring of Light and Xbox Guide Button visually connect you to your games, digital
media, and the world of Xbox Live, the first global, unified online console
games service. Featured on both the wireless and wired controllers, the Xbox
Guide Button puts you in control of your experience. In addition to bringing
up the Xbox Gamer Guide and the Xbox System Guide, the Xbox Guide Button lets
you turn the system on and off without ever leaving the couch.
Xbox Live: Xbox Live is where games and entertainment come alive, the only
unified place where you can play with anyone, anytime, anywhere. And the best
just got better. Connect your Xbox 360 to your broadband connection and get
instant access to Xbox Live Silver. Express your digital identity through your
Gamertag and gamer card, talk with others using voice chat, and access Xbox
Live Marketplace—all right out of the box, at no extra cost. Upgrade to
Xbox Live Gold and enter the exciting world of multiplayer online gaming. With
intelligent matchmaking, access to all your achievements and statistics, video
chat and video messaging, and an enormous selection of games, Xbox Live Gold

Xbox Live Marketplace: Keep your favorite games fresh with instant access to
new content. Xbox Live Marketplace is a one-stop shop to download new game trailers,
demos, and episodic content, plus new game levels, maps, weapons, vehicles,
skins, and more. Accessible to everyone who establishes a broadband connection
with their Xbox 360, Xbox Live Marketplace lets you personalize and extend your
experience, on demand.
Games: Xbox 360 redefines what games look like, sound like, feel like, and
play like to engage you like never before. With Xbox 360, epic worlds are alive

of grass rustling together in the breeze. Vibrant characters display depth of
emotion to evoke more dramatic responses, immersing you in the experience like
never before. You’ll see all Xbox 360 titles at 720p and 1080i resolution
