The Xbox 360 is not only an amazing gaming console system that will play next-generation games, but it is also highly capable of playing blistering entertainment, whether as part of a streaming service or on DVDs. Whilst the 360 cannot handle blu-rays like the PS3, it does have a slew of entertainment features, particularly enhanced by the recent release of the Microsoft Kinect. With this piece of technology, users can simply speak to the Xbox and ask it to select, play, pause, stop, rewind, etc their media – it’s actually making the remote control seem like exercise! The Kinect uses two high quality cameras and a microphone to translate bodily movement and sound into sound and game functions for extra immersion in gaming and easier accessibility in options for entertainment. The accessory has sold relatively well; however there simply has not been the right software to justify a massive amount of popularity. When it was first released, the 360 lacked proper HDMI compatibility, thereby making it unsuitable for use on an LED television; however this has since been fixed and now with an HD cable, the graphics on-screen pop out and are impressively vivid. It seems so strange that gaming series’ such as Gears of War and Halo focus so much on dull colours, when the 360 is so capable of displaying amazing colour – really if you want to see what kinds of colours are on offer, you should look into Viva Pinata or Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. The Xbox Live media centre now has streaming services such as Netflix, Lovefilm and iPlayer so now you can actually watch content on-demand – Netflix and Lovefilm do charge a monthly subscription fee but iPlayer is completely free. When these services first appeared, they were fairly low-quality and the image quality was actually quite blocky and grainy; however they have since improved to display HD quality videos – this does require a strong and fast internet connection. As long as you are properly equipped with up-to-date technology, the proper leads and perhaps the most advanced accessories such as the Kinect, you can have an ultra-futuristic entertainment experience that cannot be matched by any other console at the current time. The question is if people will actually feel comfortable literally speaking to their televisions and telling them what to do is a question that remains to be answered. However, one thing is for sure – if you’re looking for a fantastic viewing experience on an LED TV, an Xbox 360 is a fantastic entertainment option.
