This limited edition Xbox bundle includes
Halo and
Midtown Madness 3.
Take the power and flexibility of a dedicated computer-gaming system and combine it with the easy-to-use, instant-on format of a high-end console system and what do you get? Well, if you add DVD-playback ability and broadband Internet connectivity, you get Xbox.
The advanced components inside Xbox make it the undisputed powerhouse among current game consoles. A 733 mHz Intel main processor and 233 mHz graphics processor from industry leader nVidia deliver photorealistic graphics in real time. A cavernous hard drive stores saved games and characters, making flimsy memory sticks obsolete. The built-in Ethernet port enables super-fast multi-player online gaming over a broadband Internet connection. Four game-controller ports allow you and three of your buddies to play at the same time or you can use them for other peripherals such as gamepads, light guns, voice-activated headsets and who knows what else?
But Xbox has more going for it than fancy innards. The Xbox's Windows-based operating system is a breeze to program on, earning it grateful accolades from Electronic Arts, Infogrames, THQ and other game producers. The less time developers spend struggling with the operating system the more time they spend tweaking gameplay, which ultimately results in better games--and games are what it's all about. --Mike Fehlauer, Amazon.com
