MAIN Recreation Games & Video Games Xbox 360

The successor to the Xbox - which immediately sold out in stores upon its launch against PS3 - the next generation Xbox 360 was highly touted in a worldwide marketing blitz months before it was finally released in 2005.

Since then, the Xbox 360 has also introduced upgraded versions, including the Xbox 360 Premium featuring a 20 GB hard disc drive, and preloaded with video game demos, clips and a live arcade game, Hexic HD.

The latest, most expensive Xbox 360 upgrade is the sleek, "black box" Xbox 360 Elite with a powerful 120 GB hard disc drive.

Still in competion with the Sony's popular PlayStation 3 and its main rival, Nintendo's Wii, the Xbox 360 continues to gain ground by helping to market some of the most sought-after game series in the genre.
