Kinect This

Introduced in 2010, the Kinect option provides controller-free interaction with the Xbox, creating an amazing gaming experience

No More Controller!

Specs

Introduced in late 2005, the Xbox 360 dramatically increased gaming power with a three-core 64-bit PowerPC CPU from IBM, each core running at 3.2 GHz. Its ATI Graphics Card quadrupled rendering speed, and Wi-Fi was added. An HD DVD drive was an option, but when Blu-ray obsoleted HD DVD, an Xbox Blu-ray drive was not offered as a substitute. In 2007, the case was changed from white to black, and HDTV connectors, Wi-Fi and 120GB hard disk were added. The drive was later increased to 250GB.

360!!

Xbox 360.. in my opinion, it’s the greatest console system that has come out. The Xbox 360 has a ton of games and different ways to get and stay in touch with friends. Each game that has been created and made for this platform has these things called achievements. They are all used for bragging rights. This is pretty original I think. To take it farther, for a while now you can play certain games (most games) online. And what that means is you can play Halo Reach or Madden 11 with someone across the country, or on the other side of the world. It’s all in real time.

In addition to Xbox live you can watch movies. Instantly download movies and television shows from Netflix. You can also listen and download songs from Zune. You can never get bored with Xbox, and everything that it brings to the table. Browse through hundreds of games and videos for free, or pay a small price and instantly download whatever you want. And if you haven't heard of the Kinect, then your really missing out. It is just a new spin that Xbox has put on this type of technology. You are the controller, not a white stick in your hand or a weird ball. Just you, the player, the gamer. I have one and I enjoy it. Especially when it takes random pictures of you and you see yourself in the weirdest moves, and positions. 

I know in these tough times everyone watches the way they spend, and what they do and don’t buy. But it’s a great investment. To pass time, and to have a great source of entertainment.  So I suggest that if you don’t have one, get one. You won’t regret it. I promise.
