Microsoft Xbox Console

Take the power and flexibility of a dedicated computer-gaming system and combine it with the easy-to-use, instant-on format of a console system and what do you get? Well, if you also add in DVD playback ability and broadband Internet connectivity, you get Xbox. A 733 MHz Intel main processor and 233 MHz graphics processor from nVidia deliver photorealistic graphics in real time. A cavernous hard drive stores saved games and characters, making flimsy memory sticks obsolete. The built-in Ethernet port enables super-fast multiplayer online gaming over a broadband Internet connection. Four game-controller ports allow you and three of your buddies to play at the same time, or you can use them for other peripherals such as gamepads, light guns, voice-activated headsets, and who knows what else?
