A console review: XBOX 360

BEHOLD THE XBOX. This console can be picked for the reasonable price of $200. Also, it is probably the most popular game console currently on the market. Xbox 360 is a modern console, and the greater majority of new games can be found on it. Also, The popular Halo franchise is only available on Xbox. Some doubt the life of the Xbox, as it was released 5 years ago, but if you are thinking of waiting for a new console to come out, then you might be waiting for a while longer. The Xbox 360 will not be replaced until 2015, says Microsoft. The Xbox 360 can also play certain original Xbox games; see Xbox.com for details. The Xbox also has a "family timer" this timer can be set by a parent, limiting the amount of time the Xbox can be played daily or weekly. Xbox LIVE is also a great service, with the Gold addition, you can watch ESPN and get movies from netflix, so long as you have internet. The one downside to the Xbox is the cost of Xbox LIVE, as it does require money to use. However, Xbox LIVE costs only $54 dollars a year, for the Gold edition, so it isn't to bad. More recently, Xbox kinect has allowed gamers to get active while playing, as you can, with certain games, use the kinect add on the control your player with motions from your own body. All in all, I give the Xbox 360 5 stars. I highly recommend the Xbox to anyone in the market for game consoles.
