Microsoft Xbox 360

November 22nd, 2005 | by Scott Steinberg

In the end, the Xbox 360 is more than worthy of your attention. But whether or not you need to have it right here and now is entirely debatable. Blockbuster titles are a ways off, price barriers significant, and it's still going to take some time before certain promised features (e.g. videoconferencing, handled via an optional camera) arrive.

Regardless, Bill Gates' pride and joy comes highly recommended to those who have an HDTV and cash to burn. Should you find that you fall into this category, don't hesitate: Make a run for your local retailer – and brace yourself for potentially disappointing news, given current holiday hardware shortages – today.
