The Xbox 360 is Microsoft's successor to the Xbox console, and was the first "next generation" games console to hit the market. The Xbox 360 comes in two different packages: the deluxe package includes a wireless controller, 20GB hard drive, and a number of other accessories. Alternatively, the Core System bundle has a standard wired controller and no hard drive. The Xbox 360 offers an online gaming experience via Xbox Live.

This allows you to play multi-player Xbox 360 games on the internet via your broadband connection. The service also lets you download--and save on the console's hard drive--new missions, characters and vehicles for your favourite games.

The Xbox 360 is only backwards compatible with a limited number of original Xbox titles, and a hard drive is required for this function.

Essential Xbox 360 accessories include: the Xbox 360 Play and Charge Kit ; the Xbox 360 hard drive; the Xbox 360 Universal media remote; the Xbox 360 wireless controller
