Those have been fitted with the standard Xbox 360, copy of said game and some other trinket.
In the last generation of Xbox consoles, Microsoft did really well selling additional 1st-Gen Xboxs. There were many special game title editions, as well as country editions. All of which sold out exceptionally fast, and at a premium price too I might add.
Why?
Because they became desirable from a collector’s perspective, plus it added a new incentive to not only own a new console which looked different, but gave the gamer some bragging rights over his/her mates.
If they follow suit and continue with this trend, which I have “always” encouraged them to do, then they could sell more consoles than they are now.
Sure, they will come at a premium price point. That’s a given, and they aren’t looking at replacing the current line, simply adding an extra option to those who want top spend the money for that something different. I know I would if I had the $$.

With over 700 available games and a robust multiplayer gaming interface, it’s no wonder why it is so popular. But that’s not the reason why it’s a top tech gift. It’s because of its media capabilities. At $199 the XBOX360 Arcade is cheaper than just about any other network media device designed to be hooked up to your entertainment system, and none of them have the extender capabilities that the XBOX360 does when paired with a PC that has Windows Media Center (Vista Home Premium and above, or any version of Windows 7). When used as an extender the XBOX360 can access most of the media files on your PC and play them back through your AV gear using the easy to navigate Media Center interface. This includes audio files and playlists, video files and even both live and recorded TV. In my house I have a PC running Windows 7 with four FIOS cable card tuners that I am using as a whole house DVR. Thanks to the extender capabilities I can watch live TV or any of the over 700 recorded shows and movies (most in high definition) on any TV in my home with a XBOX360 connected. For rooms where I rarely play games, the XBOX360 can launch Media Center when it is powered on. Prefer home videos? Most new high definition camcorders with hard drives or memory cards record in the AVCHD format. Put these files on your Windows 7 PC and you can watch them on your TV through the XBOX360 too. Still not enough content? With your XBOX Live Gold membership and a Netflix account you can stream over 10,000 TV shows and movies.

If you’re an HDTV-owning home theater enthusiast who puts surround sound capability, eye-popping technological pizzazz, Blu-ray/DVD support and on-demand access to downloadable music and video content above base game play, this is the point where you can officially stop reading. Beg, plead, whine, cheat… steal from some poor teen who preordered the unit, even. Whatever it takes to get the job done, the system you’re looking to lay hands-on this year is the PlayStation 3.

However, should you be a longtime hobbyist chagrined by the industry’s recent focus on cookie-cutter sequels, a gaming neophyte intrigued by this growing interactive entertainment fad, a fan of all-time great franchises like Mario and Zelda or simply an everyday admirer with a passing interest in the subject matter, we’ve got some good news. The Wii is your console of choice, and just the sort of eye-opening kick in the pants the biz has been desperately in need of for, oh, roughly the last half-decade or so.

]]> http://gizmoose.com/2009/11/nintendo-wii/feed/ 0 PlayStation 3 – 120 GB http://gizmoose.com/2009/11/playstation-3-120-gb/ http://gizmoose.com/2009/11/playstation-3-120-gb/#comments Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:56:08 +0000 admin http://gizmoose.com/?p=352 For a while now, there has been a true hype around the new Sony console. Of course caused by Sony, but also, not lastly, by the consumer himself. And honestly I have to admit that it is not just nonsense. We are speaking of a, in technical terms, very high-class device for which very large investments have been made. Besides this, the PlayStation3 has been developed for the coming decennium, and the possibilities that the PS3 shows us now are not representative for what the console actually has to offer. I can imagine that different kinds of consumers are interested in what the PS3 offers. Even though, the game experience is being highlighted at this time, for the film lovers, the Blu Ray function is definitely a very interesting feature. Right now, a separate Blu Ray player is at least twice the price of a PS3 console. Besides this, the multimedia features like the possibility to show, for instance, digital photos might be attractive to a generation of consumers that Sony may not even have thought about…
