Product Description

From Amazon.com Review

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 also add in 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 multiplayer 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, 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 means the more time they spend tweaking gameplay, which ultimately results in better games. And games are what it's all about.

Well, games and the fun of owning a green-glowing game console that looks like it came from Darth Vader's living room.--Mike Fehlauer

The Xbox Video Game System with Controller S includes the Xbox console, the popular "S" style Microsoft controller, and all necessary cables. A DVD kit (sold separately) is required to access DVD playback ability.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best console out there. Needs more games though!, July 19 2004

This review is from: Xbox Video Game System with Controller S (Video Game)
I bought the Xbox on the day it was released which was luckily my birthday so technically I didn't buy it at all it was a present! Anyway before I owned the Xbox I normally changed consoles every six months. I've owned the Sega Megadrive, Nintendo 64, PS One and PS2. All I can say is since I've got the Xbox I haven't even thought about changing it!

A lot of people slate the Xbox for not having a legion of different games like the PS2. But to be honest the games Xbox does have are excellent and remember the console isn't even 2 years old yet. When the PS2 was first released the only games worth buying were Dead Or Alive 3 and Ridge Racer 4. But now look how many games are out. Things definitely get better with age and Xbox is still going through adolescence!!! In a couple of years the PS2 will be completely outdated and Xbox with have a complete range of different games to satisfy everyones needs.

The thing that makes Xbox stand out from the crowd is it's built in features. It has 4 built in controller ports which hasn't been done since the Nintendo 64 then copied by Nintendo GameCube. It has extreme online possibilities unlike the PS2 which virtually takes forever to connect to the web and Xbox by far has the best graphics next to the almighty PC!

I do agree Xbox needs a different range of games. At the moment it seems to only have racing games or fighting games! It needs it's own unique versions of historic games like Tomb Raider and Resident Evil. Also it would be nice if Microsoft would quit sharing their games with the PS2 because they have to tone down their graphics to make the game able to play on the PS2. For instance look at the original Buffy The Vampire Slayer game released only for Xbox. The graphics were great then they released the sequel which was available on the GameCube and PS2. The graphics were awful!!!

If you've just bought an Xbox and are being put off by other people's negative reviews don't threat because the PS2's graphics are already fading so in a couple of years Sony will need to release the Playstation 3 to save their reputation. As for GameCube apart from Resident Evil they've come up with the lamest cartoon character games ever!!! Here is a list of games worth buying for the console . . .

GAMES AVAILABLE NOW :
Halo
Project Gotham Racing 1&2
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Buffy The Vampire Slayer : Chaos Bleeds
Project Zero
The Sims
The Sims Bustin Out
Dead Or Alive 3
Dead Or Alive : Xtreme Beach Vollyball

GAMES COMING OUT 2004/2005 :
Halo 2
BC
The URBZ : Sims in the City
The Movies

5.0 out of 5 stars King of Consoles, Dec 1 2003
By 
This review is from: Xbox Video Game System with Controller S (Video Game)
When I heard Microsoft had entered the video gaming world with their debut console the xbox I didn't really pay any attention and thought it'd bite the dust and choke. I couldn't have been more wrong its a great machine. While it doesn't boost the amount of games the PS2 it does have its own gems. This is also the fastest of the 3 (but hey what are system specs if the games are no good?) here are a few pros and cons

PROS
controller s is a major improvment over the bulky original controller.

fastest of three current consoles

great graphics and sound

doubles as a dvd player with optional playback kit

doesn't need memory cards built in hard drive with 50,000 blocks of memory

you can create your own custom soundtrack with certain games

cool on screen graphics (after you turn on the system)

Xbox live

CONS
Requires dvd playback kit for play back of dvds (who doesn't already own a dvd player)

system only comes with a 90 day warranty sign up for the 2 year extended service contract its about $50 but its piece of mind should ANYTHING happen

If you decided to get the xbox also consider purchasing logitech wireless controller its the best for wireless fun and no more tangled up wires the price may be a tad steep but its the greatest.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest VideoGame Ever, Jun 13 2003
By 
This review is from: Xbox Video Game System with Controller S (Video Game)
Well xbox is the most powerful game system around , not the ps2 or the gamecube.

The xbox can save your games infromation without wasting money on buying a memory Card it got a hard disk to Save the Games and it got a beautiful look it got an xbox signature Jewel in the middle.

now let me tell you what this System is all about :
the graphics on the xbox is three times better than other systems and it got Cool Games, Sure the ps2 have More Games but they lack in quality, and the xbox got fewer games but more quality titles .

and as for the controller S it is smaller and improved , buttons are easier to reach .

and as for the games Yeah it doesnt have lots of Exclusives YET just wait because the xbox is newer than the ps2. at the moment you got Halo "the best xbox game", Project Gotham Racing "the Best Racing Game", Brute Force "a must buy for xbox owners", Panzer Dragoon, Jet Set Radio Future "cool Game", Sega Gt2002, Tao Feng, Blinx the time sweeper, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and MORE.

and in the Future there are more xbox exclusives Coming Like Halo2 cant wait for it, Project Gotham Racing 2 and So Much More.

well if you are a person who is new and Looking for a good Videogame ... if you are a kid You Should Go For GameCube and play with Games Like Mario, Luigi, Star Fox, Zelda, Metroid Prime. or if you are a TeenAger or a mature Person you Should Go to xbox . and as for the ps2 is dont Recommend it .

i am an Owner of the three systems (Gamecube, xbox, ps2) and the xbox is the best of them all :) and i say Go For it .
