XBOX 360 IS OUT TODAY!!!

It's a big day for all gamers today. The next-gen console by Microsoft, the XBOX 360, is available in-stores as I write this blog. It is a lot more powerful than the previous XBOX. For instance, the XBOX 360 has 512MB Ram compared with the original XBOX's 64MB. That's EIGHT times more Ram! The XBOX 360 also has three processing cores running at 3.2 Ghz versus the old XBOX's single proc which ran, I believe, at 700Mhz. It was basically a Pentium III actually, if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, it's always exciting when new hardware comes out, bringing new software as well. There are 18 XBOX 360 games available at launch. I'm planning on waiting a year at least to let the prices drop - technology doesn't come cheap - at $499.99, the XBOX 360 is a bit out of my student budget. Well, I'll wait to see what Sony will have to offer in the Playstation 3. ;)...although the XBOX 360 will be the only console with Halo 3...hmmmm
