The Whole New World !!!
Xbox is a whole new world. It's a world where extraordinary graphics and lightning fast processing speed live together. A world where you are immersed in sound. A world where characters, story lines and competition are captivating and intense. In short, it's a world where the unexpected can happen and usually does.

The Xbox sets a new standard in video game graphics. The graphics processor allows artists to design games with amazing realism, and many of these games only appear on Xbox. Xbox was designed from the start to be the future of on-line gaming: Online team play, new levels, new characters will all be waiting for you. Head-to-head team play with friends across the street or across the world. The hard disk will allow you to explore bigger and more detailed fantasy worlds without interruption from loading screens. You can customize the music from audio CDs to Xbox and play them back while playing games. Xbox never forgets either. Save your games on the built-in hard disk and start from the same place you left three weeks ago. You can even download additional content for your games, like new characters and extra levels, and save them on your console. Just like watching a movie in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound, experience video game audio like never before and feel like you are actually in the game. Based on Dolby Digital 5.1 support in the users home theater system. Enables DVD movie playback functionality on the Xbox.

XBox Review:
With the Xbox Microsoft got it right first go. It has stunning graphics, immense power under the bonnet and little quirks to give it the edge. You can tell that every component of the Xbox has been scrutinised and all the elements play-tested so that this really is a machine created by gamers for gamers. The main processor is powered by Intel while the graphics are dealt with by NVIDIA and both have been specifically designed for the system.

What this gives you is a machine with PC power and equivalent graphics that plays on your television screen. Imagine a P4 2 GHz machine with buckets of memory and a GeForce 3 card with all the extra options--such as tri-linear, bump mapping and shadows--turned on and you might start to get close on the graphics. The set video pieces are like something out of the Final Fantasy movie and are far above anything previously seen on a console.

The eye candy doesn't stop with the cinematic sequences. Once you start playing the games themselves they ooze creativity and atmosphere. Titles such as Halo and Oddworld: Munch's Odyssey show a graphical style that make them simply the best-looking console games you will see on your TV.

It is not only graphics that Microsoft has gone to great pains to get right. Sound plays a huge part in the immersive atmosphere that the console is aiming for. To this end the Xbox boasts 256 audio channels as well as supporting Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround which all combine to give you an unrivalled audio experience. You will almost feel the bullets whizzing over your head from all directions in Halo.

The system also supports DVD playback which is accessed by a remote control sold separately. This is a good thing because you don't have to faff around pausing movies with the right trigger or left d-pad. In Xbox you get the gaming capabilities of a top of the range PC with all the extras. You can't do your monthly accounts on it or edit your home movies but this machine is for playing with and that's what it excels at.
