Game Console Showdown – Xbox 360

Microsoft's game system is old news now, but here's a blast from the past with the 411 on what makes the Xbox 360 kick! It launched with a $400 US price tag, three 3.2Ghz CPUs, 512 MB of RAM, a 500Mhz graphics chip, a 20 GB hard drive, wireless controllers and the awesome Xbox Live for online gaming! The biggest bummer about the Xbox 360 is that it can't play many old Xbox games and doesn't do HDTV very well. Here's how it rates!

Game Console Showdown – Nintendo Wii

The big N drops the Wii on Sunday, November 19, 2006. Nintendo's new console is… weird.
