Abstract: <b>Spec:</b> 512 MB, 1920 x 1080, IBM PowerPC 3.2 GHz<br /> <b>Good:</b> All games for the Xbox 360 are in high-definition, as is the excellent user-friendly Dashboard interface. Theres built-in support for wireless controllers and excellent online gaming and communications via Xbox Live. The console is not only backward compatible with many (but not all) original Xbox titles, it also doubles as superior digital media hub and Windows Media extender.<br /> <b>Bad:</b> Most of the Xbox 360s games so far havent been a big improvement over the previous generation, and the console has some slight design flaws: a noisy exhaust fan, gigantic oversize power supply, no built-in wireless networking, only three USB ports, and no DVI or HDMI output. The DVD player is substandard, and theres no built-in support for next-gen HD movie discs.<br /> <b>Bottomline:</b> The Xbox 360 delivers the power and performance of a high-end gaming PC, including impressive digital media and networking features--but it will take several months to amass a roster of must-have next-gen games. The upcoming Sony PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii threaten to provide better graphics and a wider range of downloadable content, respectively.<br />
