Xbox 360

By Stewart Wolpin

By David Rudden

While the wireless controller for the Microsoft Xbox 360 is considered by many to be the best ever created, gamers were offered few solutions to battery-drain dilemmas. In order to juice up your controller's optional rechargeable battery with Microsoft's

The Microsoft Xbox 360 Quick Charge Kit comes with one rechargeable battery for Xbox 360 wireless controllers and offers a much more practical solution than the Play and Charge Kit for juicing up your 360's wireless controllers.

Xbox 360

By Matthew D. Sarrel

Award: Editor's Choice!

Gorgeous graphics and immersive audio provide a splendidly realistic gaming experience. Capable of using wireless controllers right out of the box. Excellent media management and playback. Great collection of launch titles.

Another bulky console from Microsoft. Game prices increase to $59.99.

Xbox 360 sets a new standard in console gaming with high-definition video and surround-sound audio. The Design of the main console is impressive, and setup is effortless, although poorly documented. The Xbox 360 is truly cutting-edge technology on the van...

All Shots For those of you who are trading up from the original Xbox, you'll be happy to know you can play most existing Xbox titles on the 360, including Halo. Microsoft has estimated it will sell three million Xbox 360s in the next three months....

Xbox 360 - Up Close & Personal with Live, the Console and the Wireless Controller

By Anand Lal Shimpi

Although information about the next-gen consoles was limited, we were able to get some time with the new Xbox Live, the actual console itself and the new wireless controller at E3.

We wrote earlier about the disappointment that was E3. Now, let us clarify a bit. The Sony PlayStation 3 press conference was quite enjoyable, as were our private meetings with ATI and NVIDIA to discuss PC hardware; but with no actual presence of next-gen...

Microsoft Xbox 360

Three years after the first shots were fired in Console War VI, Xbox 360 is winning the fight with the only weapons that really count: the deepest game library around and the most fulfilling online experience via Xbox Live. As if those weren't enough, con...

Multiplayer matchmaking fills your social void with 12 million friends. Streams media from your PC.

Premium Xbox Live account costs 50 clams a year. Clunky UI is terrible for navigating long lists of media.

Microsoft Xbox 360

By Jim Martin

A Media Center Extender, upscaling DVD player and great games console

The Xbox 360 may be the noisiest device here, but the slick interface (including the main blade-style menu) makes it a joy to use. If you have a Media Center PC and are happy to connect via a network cable, it's great value.
