Xbox 360
The Xbox 360 is a video game console produced by Microsoft,
developed in cooperation with IBM, ATI, Samsung, and SiS. Its Xbox
Live service allows players to compete online and download arcade
games and content such as game demos, trailers, TV shows, music videos,
or rented movies. The Xbox 360 is the successor to the Xbox, and
it competes with Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Wii as part
of the seventh generation of gaming systems.
The Xbox 360 was officially unveiled on MTV on
May 12, 2005, with detailed launch and game information divulged
later that month at the Electronic Entertainment Expo. It is the
first console to provide near-simultaneous launch across the three
major regions, and to provide wireless controller support at launch.
The console sold out completely at release and by end of 2006 had
shipped 10.4 million units worldwide.
Xbox 360 Wireless Controller
Xbox 360 also has a built-in 100BASE-TX 8P8C ethernet port, suitable for connecting
to Xbox Live, and three USB ports.
The
Xbox 360 supports up to four wireless controllers and three wired controllers;
the Xbox 360 only has 3 USB slots but a USB hub can be used to extend the maximum
number of wired controllers. The wired version of the controller can also be
used as a PC gamepad because it uses a USB connection, directly connected to
the controller; the wireless controller can only be used on the PC with a separate
wireless receiver. The receiver allows all wireless Xbox 360 accessories to
be used on the PC. A wireless force feedback racing wheel was released on November
1, 2006.
