The first thing people tend to notice about the Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite system is its swanky black finish and metallic detailing. However, it is not just its appearance that makes it a premier console package.
Once you get past its exciting looks, you can certainly appreciate its other excellent features that should definitely not be overlooked. Its hard drive is 120GB, and it has three robust core processors.
The core processors for the Microsoft Xbox 360 elite system give it capabilities for the ultimate in HD entertainment (up to 1080p). Their features include anti-aliasing for smooth textures, a 16:9 cinematic aspect ratio, DVD playback with upscaling capabilities, and HDMI output.
The hard drive’s large capacity means that gamers can save their games on it and store levels, demos, trailers, movies, TV shows, images, music, and other content available from the Xbox Live Marketplace. The TV show and movie downloads are available only in the United States though. The hard drive is detachable, and it is also sold as a stand-alone accessory for anyone who has one of the previous Xbox 360 systems and wants to add more choices and flexibility to it.
For the Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite system, the wireless controller, Play and Charge kit, and rechargeable battery pack are also available separately. These are black accessories, of course, to match the system they were made for.
The wireless controller, which is high-performance and award-winning, has the Xbox Guide Button on it. This button gives the gamer instantaneous in-game access to friends as well as music. With the Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite system, the wireless controller has a 30-foot range, and its battery life is 30 hours on two AA batteries.
The Play and Charge kit mentioned above is the Xbox 360 rechargeable battery pack bundled with a charging cable. It lets a gamer recharge the wireless controller without the need for interruption of gameplay. The rechargeable battery pack provides over 25 hours of gameplay with each charge.
In keeping with the Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite system color scheme, the headset that comes with it is black too. Using this headset, gamers easily get to talk about their strategies and exchange put-downs about one another’s gameplay. They also have the option of sending voice messages to others on Xbox Live.
With such a sizeable hard drive and nifty accessories, the Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite system helps the Xbox community to make the most of the potential of next-generation entertainment. The system comes with subscription to Xbox Live Gold for a month, in addition to letting gamers connect to Xbox Live for free.
