In 2005, it was the fourth most
searched for item on the Internet and the number one sell-out
console on EBay (where it was selling and being auctioned off for
prices as high as $5,000 for the new $400 console, says WebPro
News’ technology and business writer Jason L. Miller). It is
now fought over, dreamed of, and considered to be a steal for a
premium wholesaler. It is the Microsoft Xbox 360 console.
The Microsoft Xbox 360 Live cracks all records and is second to none this year,
where in 2005, it didn’t even hit the markets in
time for Christmas shoppers, and forfeited its number one status to the
ever-popular Sony PlayStation, reports Miller. If you could 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, what
would you have? Well, if you also add in DVD
playback ability and broadband Internet
connectivity, you get the 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 photo-realistic
graphics in real time. A cavernous hard drive stores
saved games and characters, making flimsy memory
sticks obsolete. The Xbox 360 oblivion cheats and hints
will amaze even the expert at simulation and role playing. The built-in Ethernet port enables
super-fast multiplayer online gaming over a
broadband Internet connection for the mother of all
video games online. Four game-controller
ports allow you and three of your friends to play at
the same time, or you can use them for other peripherals such as
gamepads, light guns, voice-activated headsets, and more.
What other video game system can offer incredibly form-fitting,
accurate and easy to install Xbox 360 skins and decal designs available in
face-only or as a complete Xbox 360 skins design kit. The Xboxes
have been so sought after, that shoppers fall for gimmicks that
say they can actually get the Xbox 360 cheap or even get the
Xbox 360 free! When they first came out, Playstation video games
had the same craze and attracted similar gimmicks where people
thought they could get video games online for next to nothing.
The continued
popularity of the Xbox 360 is confirmed when listings for the
console as the first auction feature have a bid
of $700, with a “BUY IT NOW” price of $800. The second photo
offers the same at the high bid at $575…and the photo shows a
warehouse stack of em. And the third listing has the Xbox 360
going for $1,300. You can actually rent xbox games now which may
be a more affordable option.
We are very fortunate to live in a
culture where video games like the Microsoft Xbox 360 Live
console with it's great graphics,
cutting edge technology as entertainment, and video games online are
limitless sources of pleasure and reward. Consumers have so many
choices since the first video game console came on the market in
the late 70's. Words like Xbox, netflix for video games,
gamecube, and playstation were never heard of. Today, we can
rent xbox games online, buy games just about everywhere, and
wholesale Xbox 360's are common. |
