Microsoft Xbox 360
Release Date: Winter 2005
Media Type: DVD ROM
TV outputs: AV / Scart / Composite / HDMI (Slim onwards)
The 360 hit the stores shelves at Christmas Time 2005, and I was on the list to get mine from Game (a game store in the UK), so when I finally got one I was running on our main TV which at the time was a old analogue LCD TV (yes, no HD at all) despite this fact the Xbox360 blew me away, even on that old TV with a composite cable (no HDMI on my first Xbox360!.
Later the following year I bought a HD monitor to play my 360 on and never looked back!
I’m not going into the specs of the Xbox 360, there are plenty of sites with that information… I’m just here for the games!
