The new Xbox 360 is arguably on par with the Playstation 3 in terms of features and design. It has a slender profile, touch-sensitive buttons, a 250GB hard drive and built-in Wi Fi connectivity. One of the star features is the Xbox Live network, which offers online multiplayer gaming, as well as games and downloadable content for sale. The slim Xbox 360 also has a dedicated port to connect to the upcoming Kinect gadget. The Kinect costa $229 and comes bundled with the Kinect Advantures title that contain 20 mini-games. A first- timer looking for a complete package can get an Xbox 360 ( 4 GB ) console bundled with the Kinect and Kinect Advantures for $469. The PS3 went slim last year 2009, which is a huge contrast from the original bulky model launched in 2006. The latest iteration has a 320GB hard drive and sells for $529. The console has a wide spectrum of gamers, including exclusive titles such as the charismatic lIttle Big Planet, the cinematic Heavy Rain and the cataclysmic God Of War III. It also doubles as a Blu-ray player for high-definition movies, which is handy when you need to take a break from playing games. Through firmware updates, the PS3 will have the ability to project stereoscopic 3-D visuals for compatible games and even play Blu-ray 3-D movies. You will still need a 3-D high-definition TV and a pair of active-shutter glasses to enjoy the 3-D effect though.
