It was way back in November 2001 that Microsoft put its money where its mouth was and launched the big black Xbox into the world. Spin on four years and the firm is gearing up for round two with the Xbox 360.

4 years and one week later after the Xbox launch, the Xbox 360 console is launching to North America. There's no need to bore you with tech specs, you've heard about all the bells and whistles that system contains, there's huge potential here. But how does the launch lineup fare?

The next-generation of gaming is here, and Microsoft is first to the party. Should you buy the Xb0x 360 now or hold out for the Playstation 3? Read on to find out!

If you want the ultimate in next-generation gaming then you need the ultimate next-generation game system, and for now, that system is clearly the Microsoft Xbox 360.

I've been playing on the 360 basically nonstop since I've received the system, taking only short breaks to work and/or sleep. There's a lot to like about the system, from the generational leap in graphical quality to the flexibility and choice that the Marketplace gets you.

In every generation one video game console stands out as a leap forward in gaming. In the last generation it was the Playstation 2 which came to market, obliterating the Sega Dreamcast and revolutionizing the home entertainment market by making DVD the fastest growing medium in history.

I've been a racing fan since I first sat in the backseat of a friend's modified 5.0 Mustang in high school and since then I've done a lot of racing myself. I've owned several performance cars and driven all of them to their limits.

Games and movies collide, again, this time in high-def. Microsoft's Xbox 360 HD DVD player is targeted specifically at the owners of the Xbox 360 gaming console-or those on the fence about purchasing one. It's an affordable way to bring HD DVD into your existing multimedia system.

Our PCW Rating for this product reflects its performance, price, features, and design as an HD DVD player, not as a gaming machine.

HD DVD Player has 192MB of storage to speed access; Inexpensive
