Another Year, Another Battle In The Console War

...With the festive season now behind us, many wonder which of the seventh-generation video game consoles came out on top for 2007. The Big Three - the Nintendo Wii, the Microsoft Xbox360 and the Sony Playstation 3 - have all partaken in fierce competition, each with its own unique selling point and games.

...If you bought an Xbox 360 prior to 2007, there is a good chance that it is not going to last much longer. In fact, it might have already broke down on you. This is a manufacturer defect that eventually happens to all early model Xbox 360, and some later model ones as well. If you play your 360 all the time, it has probably already happened. If you don't play it as much, then it just a matter of time.
