How To Clean Your Xbox 360 Game Console
Xbox consoles must be kept clean and free from grime to perform at optimal levels. Here are 4 quick steps on how to clean your Xbox 360 gaming console and prevent yourself from the dreaded rings of death.
Step #1 - Turn Off Everything except Power Source
First, disconnect everything except the main power source used to open the disc tray. All openings, ports and sockets will be cleaned as well to maintain optimal performance levels. Basically, you want to unplug everything except the plug that goes into the electrical socket.
Step #2 - Wipe Away All Dust & Grime
Get a soft towel, or use your care Kit and start wiping away all dust on the exterior of your Xbox. Another tool you can use is the canned compressed air. That will help get the dust off without you pushing any into the game system.
That includes wiping away the vents, underneath the Hard Drive, and cleaning out all the power sockets & memory card slots.
Step #3 - Clean Out the Disc Tray
Next, wipe the disc tray clean, and remove grime & build up from the interior part of your Xbox 360. When you get in the system to clean it, you must wipe away any dust particles visible, and use air to blow out hidden dust particles inside your Xbox 360 console.
Pay particular attention to keeping any particles from falling into the system. You really want to make sure that you don't let things get inside.
Step #4 - Remove Game Disc Scratches As Well
If your game discs have any scratches, use the soft cloth and scratch solution provided in the Xbox 360 Care Kit or a soft cloth & hydrogen peroxide to work at eliminating any disc scratches. Used games with scratches will cause damage to your Xbox 360 console over time.
Lastly, make sure that you are cleaning your system and not doing any damage to your system. Don't go overboard and accidentally break any connections, or let things get into the console itself. If you see anything that is odd or you are not sure about, take the console in to a professional for further guidance.

Searching For The Elusive Xbox 360 Emulator
| The Xbox 360, manufactured by Microsoft, is probably one of the most versatile and powerful gaming consoles that you will come across. And because it provides the ultimate gaming experience with its high definition graphics and lifelike action, it is no wonder that true gamers wait with baited breath for an Xbox 360 emulator to be released. The Xbox 360 features an easy to operate interface that even novices have no trouble handling. It allows you to go directly to the option you want by using either using the controller or remote control. Plus, the latest movies look great when they are played back on the Xbox 360. Its multimedia capabilities also allow you to play your favorite movies and view pictures. Plus, the Xbox 360 itself contains its own Xbox emulator making it backwards compatible for previous Xbox games, so there is no need to rush out and purchase new copies of your favorite games. Games that have been developed for the Xbox 360 are extremely popular and sought after. For this reason, many who play video games look forward to the day when an Xbox 360 emulator will be developed. They wish to see hardware and software made available that allows personal computer users the enjoyment of Xbox games via their PCs. Those new to video gaming or do not care for this form of entertainment may be wondering what the purpose of an Xbox 360 emulator really is. Why not just buy the Xbox 360 and be done with it? However, it seems that many gamers prefer playing on the system they feel most comfortable with. And for a vast number of them, this system is the PC. In order for video game manufacturers to broaden their market, it does make sense in the end to provide cross platform compatibility. Basically, video game emulators are systems created to behave like the gaming console that can be operated from your PC or Mac. There are a couple different types of emulators that video game enthusiasts can employ. The first type is a software emulator, which is installed on your computer just the way that any other type of software is. What it enables your PC to do is to operate on a video game type platform allowing you to play games. It is akin to having dual operating systems installed for your PC - one for work and one for play. The second type of video game emulator is hardware. It is just like any other hardware device you might purchase for your PC. You connect it and install the software to run it. Video games are then inserted into the hardware and played via this device connected to your computer. Of course, software developers love emulators because it broadens the appeal of game software while expanding the market. Video game console developers, though, are reluctant to part with the technology that gives them the market share advantage. To console developers, emulators mean less profit and indicate that it is time for a new, more powerful console. So unfortunately for avid gamers, the Xbox 360 emulator does not yet exist. However, you can be sure that many look forward to the day that one is released. |

An In Depth Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter Review
First Part Of The Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter Review – A look At The Unit
In all honesty there is nothing remarkable about the Xbox 360 wireless remote. It is exactly the same as the second generation wired Xbox remote from the previous console, except there are couple extra buttons. The remote does come without rechargeable batteries or a charging station and you must pay extra for those. This was a big mistake on Microsoft’s part in my mind. I think they would have been much better served offering a complete solid controller, then the limited controller that they currently have. This is also in addition to the fact that they did have knowledge of the Wii remote that was scheduled to come out. For this section of the Xbox 360 wireless adapter review the Xbox controller gets poor marks.
Second part of the Xbox 360 wireless adapter review – A Look At The Competition
While the Playstation remote is nice, this section is really all about the remote from Nintendo, or the Wiimote as users like to call it. This remote is one of the most revolutionary things to hit the world of gaming in many years. The Wiimote takes gaming to a whole other level as you can directly interact swinging the remote and make your in game Avatars dance, move or whatever. Microsoft would have done well to pay attention to this and be prepared with a more solid offering on their remote.
While this Xbox 360 wireless adapter review is not at all positive, I can see there really are no huge negatives for the Xbox remote. It is a solid remote that learned from the mistakes of previous generations of controllers. The buttons are easy to use, and the Blue Tooth picks up the controller easily. It is just that the unit is not very special and there really is nothing unique about it. I guess I just expected more. Better luck next time Bill.

An Xbox 360 console review
Right now there are three major gaming consoles on the market for you to choose from – the Nintendo Wii, the Playstation 3, and the Xbox 360. I have tested and written about both the Wii and the Playstation, so now it is time for an Xbox 360 console review.
Xbox 360 – A Complete Look
After I set it up I saw the Xbox 360 is a far cry from its predecessor. The original Xbox was big, black and boxy looking. The new unit is anything but. It is far smaller, although not as small as the Wii or Playstation, and white in color. For the first part of the Xbox 360 console review I give it a 4 out of 5 for appearance.
While appearance for some people is important, if you are a serious gamer then this is the least important thing. So let’s take a look into the next part of the Xbox 360 console review and look at the titles that are available. This is not an Xbox 360 game review, but rather a look at the games you can get. The first thing that stands out for this Xbox 360 console review is that the Xbox is the only system that you can get Halo for. While it has been made available for the PC, the game play on the console is far superior. The Halo series is perhaps my favorite of all time and this is a big plus in favor of the Xbox. While the single player is fun, this game truly shines with the multiplayer options, but I will get into that in the next section. For game titles I give the Xbox 360 console review a 4 out of 5.
The next thing that is really important when you get a gaming is system is the multi player options. The original Xbox blew its competition out of the water, and while Playstation and the Wii are catching up the Xbox 360 is still leading the pack. You can find games easily; get content, and almost all of the games released for the system offer multiplayer support. The score for its multi player is a 5 out of 5. I find it hard to believe that they could improve on this much.
The Xbox 360 in my mind is the best system if you are looking for online action. Without even looking at the graphics or doing an Xbox 360 VGA review it shines. It does not have the fun aspect of the Wii and most of the games are more adult in flavor. The Wii owns the market in fun, interactive games. For non online adult games the Playstation 3 might have a slight edge, but if it does it is very slight and the Xbox 360 can keep up with in almost every regard.
Well there you have it, hopefully this Xbox 360 console review has helped you to make your decision.

Xbox 360 Elite - the Best Gaming Console on the Market
Video gaming was revolutionized with the creation of the Xbox 360 thanks to a team of developers working hard to combine the right technology at the right price. Who would have ever thought we could live without HD video gaming and 5.1 Surround Sound with which you can hear every single little nuance of a game's audio environment.
The Xbox 360 looks so good on an HD TV that I've often had friends ask me what game was on when I was playing Madden. They literally thought that I was watching a real sporting event when I was actually playing the Xbox. This system is so smooth that there are never any glitches or freezing unlike other gaming systems.
The Xbox 360 Elite boasts a huge hard drive of 120GB, which is capable of storing an endless amount of game demos, videos, skins, and music all without you needing to save space for your saved games. It also comes with a black matte finish wireless controller, which means no more of the dog tripping on the controller and yanking it out of your hand during a boss battle.
You can also use it to your advantage to play from anywhere the wireless connection will reach. As if you needed any more reason to buy the Xbox 360 Elite, it also comes with a black matte finish headset so you can talk to your friends online via Xbox Live as you dominate them in a first person shooter like Call of Duty 4 or in a FIFA 2009 match. The system also comes with an HDMI port and cable so you can take full advantage of the HD resolution that the Xbox 360 offers.
The games for the 360 are the best on the market and you can find the most variety of any game system thanks to the fact that this was the first modern gaming console released on the market. Game developers have been spending years perfecting the design and implementation of their games on the Xbox 360. As a result, you 've got the best graphics, sounds, and game play on the market. When I say that the Xbox 360 is a cutting edge console gaming system, I am not joking!
The Xbox 360 Elite also features a Windows Live software setup that allows you to stream audio and video from your home PC or laptop meaning that the Xbox 360 functions as a home entertainment system as well. You don't need a DVD player anymore either, since this bad boy can do it all on its own. The prices of Xbox 360 are as cheap as they've ever been and now is the perfect time to get one so that you can start enjoying high definition, crisp gaming that is the best on the planet.
The 360 Elite is the best of the best and there is no way you could get bored with this system

Some Very Popular XBOX 360 Accessories
Microsoft is very good at knowing what markets they can be successful in and what markets they should avoid. Usually when Microsoft gets into a new market they tend to take over, become a market leader, and start dictating what direction the market should go in. Two markets that Microsoft stepped in and dominated when it looked like they had no business being in either one of them was the networking software market and the video game console market.
Years ago when Microsoft first entered the computer networking software market Novell Netware was king and they had decided on a platform that they felt would make them the number one networking software company for years to come. Microsoft stepped in and not only did they completely take the networking software market from Novell, they began to innovate the market in such a way that made Novell's ideas obsolete almost from the moment Novell released them.
Now Microsoft is starting to do the same thing with their XBOX 360 and the XBOX 360 accessories that are being released are an indication that the rest of the video game industry better put their thinking caps on and find a way to stay with Microsoft or else the new line of XBOX 360 accessories could threaten to leave them in the dust. The newest line of Microsoft XBOX 360 accessories are all parts of a new way to play video games that others have introduced in the past but, as always, Microsoft is setting out to improve.
Visit Without Leaving The House
For years there have been remedial versions of interactive console games available but no one really took the time and effort to perfect it. With the newest line of XBOX 360 accessories it has become apparent that Microsoft is once again blazing a path that others must follow to stay in business. The two key XBOX 360 accessories in this new line of XBOX 360 accessories are the headset and the modem. With the headset you can hear and talk to people that you are playing interactive games with from anywhere in the world. With the modem you can hook up to your home's wireless router and put your XBOX on the internet to interact with anyone in the world.
Microsoft is never kind to the competition and these new lines of XBOX 360 accessories show that Microsoft is once again trying to revolutionize an industry that they joined late in that industry's history. With the new lines of XBOX 360 accessories that are coming out they may have just started to do that.

Learning About the Xbox 360
The Details
The Xbox 360 was developed in cooperation with IBM, ATI, and SiS. The integrated Xbox Live service allows players to compete online and download content such as arcade games, game demos, trailers and more.
There are actually a few different configurations of the Xbox 360 available, including the Xbox 360 Core which was an entry level Xbox 360 that was later replaced by the Arcade. Then there is also the Premium or Pro which includes all of the features of the Core and includes a hybrid composite and component cable with optional optical cut instead of a composite cable.
Games
One of the best things about this video game is the multitude of terrific games that are available for it. There are literally hundreds of different games that you can choose from, and this includes Absolute: Blazing Infinity, America’s Army: True Soldiers, Amped 3, APB, Armored Core 4, Beyond Good & Evil 2, Big Bumpin’, Bionic Commando, Bionicle Heroes, BioShock, and Beijing 2008, just to name a few.
The bottom line is that the Xbox 360 is one of the most popular and enjoyable video game consoles out there today, and so if you are interested in getting a video game for yourself, the Xbox 360 is one that you should definitely consider.
You can purchase the video game through the Xbox Company and the hundreds of retailers out there that offer the Microsoft products. The prices are constantly dropping on video game consoles, so make sure that you keep checking back if you want to get the lowest price possible.
It is a very easy game to use and one that is widely available, so no matter where you go to shop for it, it should be in stock. Just make sure that you check into the details if you decide to go somewhere to buy the game used, because of course if you are buying it used you can never really be sure of the condition it is in.
Buying used does not have to be a bad thing, but you want to make sure that you are aware of the return or refund policy.

What is the Xbox 360 Core System?
Xbox 360 Core System
This game really sets a new pace for digital entertainment. It is much more than just a cutting-edge video game system, it is a whole new world that you have access to. It is much smaller than its predecessor, and is powered by a custom IBM PowerPC-based CPU with three symmetrical cores. It also carries a custom ATI customs graphics processor 10 MB or embedded DRAM.
The unit features a 12x dual-layer DVD-ROM drive and uses a refined button layout for its controllers which makes game play as easy and convenient for users as possible. This means that you can sit and play your video games for hours without your hands growing tired or cramped.
Included in the Core system is the Xbox 360 console, wired controller, detachable faceplate, Xbox Live Silver membership, and standard AV cables.
Xbox 360 Premium System
Both of these games – namely the Xbox 360 Core system are incredibly popular and it looks as though this popularity is only going to continue growing in the future. If you want to get the Xbox 360 Core system or other 360 console for yourself, you should be able to find what you are looking for at any of your local video game stores.
If you can’t find what you need there, you can always go through the Microsoft Company who is the creator and manufacturer of the Xbox series.
Also keep in mind that you are offered a certain amount of goods with your system, but there are many other tools and accessories that you can purchase as well, if you are interested. The best idea may be for you to take some time to get used to the game before buying anything additional for it. Especially if you have little to no experience with video games, it will be wise to wait and make additional purchases until you have more information and experience with the game and are more skilled at it and then spend more money.

Get the Most Next Gen Titles with the Xbox 360 Game System
One Drawback
With the next generation home video format at a close, the HD-DVD format favored by the Xbox 360 game system is now defunct. That means that as of July 2008, the Xbox 360 is still incapable of HD movie playback, while the Playstation 3 has Blu-ray support right out of the box. However, there may be a Blu-ray drive add-on for the Xbox 360 game system in the future (it's still up in the air), and the Xbox 360 is substantially cheaper than the Playstation 3. Forgetting about next gen movie formats for a bit, the Xbox 360 video game system is also capable of playing normal DVDs, which most people have anyway.
With its built-in hard drive, the Xbox 360 is capable of storing music, and network features allow users to connect to the Internet. If that isn't enticing enough from a home entertainment standpoint, the Xbox 360 game system will also have Netflix support, so users can rent movies (temporarily downloading them) onto the 60 Gb version. PC users already get to download movies off of Netflix, so this move is just a natural extension of that service.
Ultimately, the Xbox 360 game system is about – you guessed it – games. That's where the console gained fame, and that's where the console will continue to thrive. Big titles like Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, Halo Wars, and Grand Theft Auto IV will propel the console into new tiers of popularity. Not all games appeal to everyone, but the sheer number available means that gamers of all types will find many games to enjoy on the Xbox 360 game system. The current price for a 20 Gb model has been slashed to $300 in anticipation of the 60 Gb model, which will cost $350. When you take into account the sheer value that you get in one package - the biggest and best library of video games today, movies, Netflix, music, and the Internet - $300 is an incredible bargain. Because it's been out several years, the Xbox 360 game system is in wide availability, and you shouldn't have too much trouble finding a console.

Cheap but Powerful Xbox 360 Video Game Systems
While features like movie and music playback and Internet access have made the Xbox 360 video game system ideal for all home entertainment purposes, its staple source of entertainment is in video games. Some of the biggest titles on the Xbox 360 are listed below, but you must understand that there are literally hundreds more to choose from. RPG fans will delight in the Xbox 360 video game system because they get to choose from the likes of Mass Effect and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Shooter fans will love Call of Duty 4 and Gears of War, while any type of gamer will love Grand Theft Auto IV and Fallout 3. The game library for the Xbox 360 video game system is already very large and complete, but there will be hundreds of additions to it over the years.
A Cheaper Alternative
If paying $50 or more for a video game does not sound too appealing to you, then you can choose to rent Xbox 360 games. The new business model has consumers paying a small monthly fee in exchange for renting the largest selection of games available, from just released blockbusters to obscure games from ten years ago. For $10 or $15 a month, gamers can rent games for as long as they like without any late fees. This is a smart alternative to buying expensive games, because gamers often only finish games once (if at all), and much of their $50 or $60 purchase goes to waste. Of course, renting games isn't exclusive to the Xbox 360 video game system, and PS3, Wii, and PC gamers can all rent video games for much cheaper than it would cost to purchase them.
If you're interested in purchasing a next generation console, then the Xbox 360 video game system combines a great price with a grest selection of games and incredible graphics. There is simply no better value on the market today, although the Nintendo Wii has a number of exclusive titles which may appeal different gamers. The 20 Gb model goes for $300 (down from $350) in favor of the new 60 Gb model (with support for Netflix), which will replace the 20 Gb model at $350.
