Product Information

Quite why Microsoft still hasn’t gone down the Sony PS3 route of letting you use any hard drive you like we don’t know, but c’est la vie. It was later launched in Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, and Russia. In 2012, Microsoft released the Live Event Player, allowing for events such as video game shows, beauty pageants, award shows, concerts, news and sporting events to be streamed on the console via Xbox Live. Killzone is no Halo and nowadays Gran Turismo is no Forza, but it's not about the exclusives—there's nothing to trump Naughty Dog's PS3 output, after all.

Two major hardware revisions of the Xbox 360 have succeeded the original models; the Xbox 360 S (also referred to as the "Slim") replaced the original "Elite" and "Arcade" models in 2010.

The console was however capable of the same HDTV resolutions (up to 1080i) as the other models when connected to a separately sold component/ d-terminal cable. We’re not so sure that we didn’t prefer the previous colour scheme, but since the PS3 Slim changed from gloss black to matt black, we presume Microsoft has no choice but to go the other way.Microsoft was the first to enter this current console-gaming generation with its original Xbox 360, a hulk of a system that beat both Nintendo and Sony to the punch.

These Elites (and other Xbox 360 models using the Falcon motherboard) can be identified from earlier versions by a re-designed power connector and a power supply rated to 175 W.

In June 2010, Microsoft announced a new, redesigned model and the discontinuation of the Elite and Arcade models.
