Do you have an Xbox? If so, which model? There is the original model and then more recently released was the 360 version.
Whichever model you have, the Xbox is one of the more well loved gaming consoles available today even though it was Microsoft’s first attempt at entering the gaming console business when it was released in 2001. Its director competitors are the Sony Playstation and the Nintendo Gamecube.
Why Make the Xbox?
It might seem weird to question why anyone would make such a gaming console, looking back on the success of this product and those like it. But as they say, hindsight is 20/20. It’s very simple to look back on the success of this product and just assume that Microsoft made the Xbox for the money it would bring in. But, the reality is that as more and more gaming consoles were being made in the mid to late 1990′s, these were really cutting into Microsoft’s dominance in the computer industry. People were turning off their PCs in exchange for turning on their gaming consoles, hooked up to the larger screens of their televisions and allowing more than one person to play. Making the Xbox was not so much a go for commercialism as it was a go for financial survival. Any successful business will tell you that as the market goes, so should the development.
Using the Xbox Today
No matter what the product or system there will always be competition and the Xbox is no different. Every month there are new systems and new games that can be used only on its competition, but despite all of this, like so many other Microsoft products, it still seems to lead the market share in sales and overall popularity. Of course the consistent price drop it has experienced since its first model was released also helps; when first released just before Christmas in 2001, the average retail price was 9 USD; the most recent figures list average retail price as around USD.
In 1995 the Xbox 360 was introduced and this essentially rendered the original model obsolete. Through emulation the 360 is able to support a limited number of games designed for the original model. The newer games for the 360 are what really set this model apart; in 2004, Halo 2 set records as the highest-grossing release in entertainment history making over 5 million in its first day.
Upgrading
So are you considering upgrading your Xbox? If you don’t have a 360, it’s time to get one. The older model isn’t made anymore and whatever games you have for it are all you’re going to get. You see how there’s been excellent reason for the Xbox to be developed in the first place, and there’s excellent reason to get the latest model there is. So stop waiting; get your newer model today!

For many families, 0 for a video game system is a small steep, especially if the children in the family are too young to play a large percentage of the games. Following in the footsteps of Nintendo with its Wii, Microsoft released the Xbox 360 Arcade system in the hopes of providing families with a basic console to introduce the members to the world of video games.
Many gamers, even those not necessarily groundbreaking new to the scene, may not need all of the gadgets and updates included in the Xbox 360 Pro or Elite systems. They may simply need the basic tools to play games. The Xbox 360 Arcade system gives families and players alike the ability to play, and play hard, without paying for extraneous add-ons.
Compare and Contrast
The Xbox 360 Arcade system out-of-the-box is ready to play any Xbox 360 game. It comes with one wireless controller, a 256MB memory card, five Xbox LIVE Arcade games and an HDMI output port. Basically, it comes with the basic necessities to plug in, boot up and play. The price tag of 0 is decently cheaper than the next step up, and many families will be attracted to this price reduction, especially around Christmas time.
Microsoft made the choice to replace the Xbox 360 Core system, the originally offering from the line, with the Xbox 360 Arcade system in the hopes of attracting these families to the product. So far, many families and amateur gamers have chose to buy the console to save a small money, but veteran gamers looking to upgrade or collect systems are not interested in this stripped-down Xbox 360 for a few reasons.
With cheapness comes sacrifice, and the Xbox 360 Arcade system is missing a lot of accessories that hardcore gamers find necessary to the gaming experience. While the average parent might not see the need in a 20GB hard drive, older players do: the built-in 256MB memory card is enough to play the games, but not enough to save the games.
For users hoping to play large-scale role playing games or to download updates and extra levels through the Xbox LIVE function, the Xbox 360 Arcade system default hard drive will not provide enough space. Many of the other Xbox 360 bundles also include a second controller along with HDTV cables, allowing the console to project widescreen-ready graphics and surround sound audio tracks.
A 20GB hard drive will cost an extra 0, and wireless controllers can simple climb to . If a family or user intends to eventually upgrade, it might be more cost-efficient to buy the Xbox 360 Pro or Elite upfront. But, if an individual cannot afford 0, but wants to at least get started on his or her video game journey, or does not intend to ever buy accessories, maybe the Xbox 360 Arcade system will be a perfect fit. Then, when the time comes, and the money is available, he or she can boost his or her system, without first digging a financial hole.
