Amazon.com Product Description
Xbox 360 sets a new pace for digital entertainment. More than just a cutting-edge game system, Xbox 360 also integrates high-definition video, DVD movie playback, digital music, photos, and online connectivity into one sleek, small tower, and in the process puts true Next-Gen power right at your fingertips.  | | Xbox 360, shown with wireless controller, is a sleek, customizable gaming and entertainment system | Under the Hood
Xbox 360 is much smaller than its predecessor--it measures approximately 3.3 by 12.2 by 10.2 inches and weighs 7.7 lbs. It's powered by custom IBM PowerPC-based CPU with three symmetrical cores each running at 3.2 GHz. It also carries a custom ATI graphics processor loaded with 10 MB of embedded DRAM, 48-way parallel floating-point dynamically scheduled shader pipelines and Unified shader architecture. This is powerful enough to draw 500 million triangles per second. In other words, it makes for great looking games in standard TV definition, and even better thanks to built-in support for HDTV 1080i televisions. It also supports the widescreen 16:9 format. The unit has a 12x dual-layer DVD-ROM drive, which plays both the game media and progressive-scan DVD movies right out of the box. For game-save and media storage, users can choose between the detachable and upgradeable 60GB hard drive, or a separately sold 64MB flash Memory Unit. Along with storing files, the hard drive will make the Xbox 360 backward-compatible with part of the existing Xbox game library. Control your Gameplay
Xbox 360 uses a refined button layout for its controllers. Back and Start buttons sit at the center of the controller and between them is a new Xbox Guide button, which instantly takes the user to the Xbox 360 user interface. From there, they can check for friends online, access personal digital content like photos and songs, and more. The black and white buttons of the first Xbox controllers have been replaced with new shoulder buttons placed above the left and right triggers. Xbox 360 can accommodate up to four wireless controllers and has three USB 2.0 slots to use for wired controllers or for streaming your digital media from digital cameras, MP3 players, and any Windows XP-based PC. Microsoft has also created a video-conferencing camera, sold separately, that will work with the system.  | | Xbox 360 can manage your games, your online friends, and your personal digital library | 
The Media Experience
All Xbox 360 titles can be played in either standard or high-definition resolution in 16:9 widescreen, with anti-aliasing for smoother graphics. Game designers will be able to take advantage of the system's multi-channel surround sound. The Xbox 360's digital media allows users to supplement any game's music from tracks in their own personal library. Go Live
A built-in Ethernet port allows users to connect their system to a broadband connection for access to Xbox Live. The Xbox Live Silver Membership included with the console lets anyone create a Gamertag and gamer card to express your online identity, chat live with voice chat, and connect to the Xbox Live Marketplace to buy expansions, maps, and other digital items for your games. You can also update to a Xbox Live Gold Membership at anytime for even more benefits. The separately sold wireless adapter supports the common 802.11a, -b, and -g standards.

I got the Holiday Xbox 360 bundle and this version of the Xbox is a lot better then the old one it run almost as quit as my PS3 and cool. The old Xbox 360 sounded like you had an AC running in your room and had an over heating issue. My Xbox build date was October so it's the third generation Xbox and no problems so far.
Much improved buy with confidence November 24, 2008

I recently bought one of these Holiday Xbox 360 bundles and the most important thing I can tell you is that the console has worked perfectly for over a month now and stays cool the entire time I play it. Read the other reviews I have posted for the various Xbox 360's and you will see I was not in favor of buying one due to their horrible reliability. Though now I can say that after extensive use (Including several times when the console was in use for over 6 hours, playing some of the most demanding games the system has such as Gears of War and Dead Rising) the console stays cool(meaning slight warmth to the air coming out of the console) no matter how long I use it, and is much quieter then all the previous 360's I have owned. I can say without hesitation that if you or someone your buying for wants an Xbox 360 now is the time to buy. Please keep in mind this review only applies to the Holiday bundles, not the older models.

This was definitely one of the best purchases I have ever made in my life. You get 60gb, which is just the perfect amount, and two fun games for just 300! Good luck finding a Wii with no hard drive for under 300!
A great purchase so far November 22, 2008

So far, the xbox has played like it is supposed to. I've been having a lot of fun and i will get my xbox live set up this weekend. I have had it for a month now and it has been very much fun to play. It scratched my disc up a little bit once but only because i took it out before it stopped spinning. it still plays fine but it could have been worse. make sure the disc stops spinning before you press eject and you should be fine.
Good value for your money, excellent product November 20, 2008

I purchased this bundle late last month, It arrived on time, no problems whatsoever. This system is amazing, more so now that the NXE (New xbox experience) update is out, the interface is extremely user friendly and there's so much to do without even putting in a disc. From streaming video and music from your pc to your xbox, downloading game demos, creating and customising your avatars, checking out and previewing upcoming games, movies, trailers... just to mention a few things. It'll keep you occupied for quite some time.
For me the 60 gig hard drive is adequate, you really only get 48 or so gigs and change, but that's the case with computers on a whole, so no real shocker there.
Anyone who would've done any research at all would know about the RROD (red ring of death) problem that has plagued the 360 since it's release. The good news is that Microsoft has made some adjustments with the latest batch of 360s that actually looks quite promising. Just make sure your system was made during the last quarter of this year. My system runs rather quietly, I was quite surprised at that after hearing about the 360 being the noisiest system around. It does hum, but not to the level where it distracts or is even noticable. Straight out of the box I've laid the system horizontally and mounted it on a stack of video cassettes so it could "breath" properly and receive adequate ventilation, it even has a dedicated fan on at all times. This really is a system that needs to be cared, so before your purchase put some plans in place to ensure you receive the longest life out of your system.
The games are actually quite nice, Kung fu Panda has a surprisingly deep fighting system... for a childrens' game. The game is alot of fun and the animation is amazing. Lego Indiana Jones is good too, although, in my estimation, to fully enjoy the experience (and the cut scenes) you might need to be a fan of the films. It's pretty straight forward fun for everyone.
Overall I give this system full marks. Being the first out of the blocks when compared to the other two, It's amazing that it holds up so well so many years later. Definitely worth the price.
