Xbox Experience is Out
The new Xbox Experience is finally here! I’ll be getting the update at lunch today to check it out. Here is more info on the huge Xbox 360 update.
In 1954, the introduction of color TV heralded the dawn of a new era
in entertainment. On November 19, more than 50 years after that
dramatic shift, a new era in home entertainment begins with the New
Xbox Experience, as millions of Xbox 360 consoles transform in an
instant through the power of software.
Your Avatar is your online identity.
A
bold new future begins now, where high-definition (HD) entertainment is
delivered in an instant, the best games share the stage with the best
movies and TV shows, and every experience is shared with friends and
family in the same room or around the world.
Industry-Defining Milestone
By
the end of this month, Xbox 360 will reach another industry-defining
milestone: 25 million Xbox 360 consoles sold worldwide. It has taken
the leading next-generation game and entertainment console just three
years to eclipse the total lifetime number of original Xbox consoles
sold.
Change your Avatar to suit your mood.
“The
future of home entertainment is Xbox 360?it’s on-demand, it’s
high-definition, it’s always social, it’s all in one place,” said Don
{sidebar id=1}Mattrick, senior vice president for the Interactive Entertainment
Business at Microsoft Corp. “With the New Xbox Experience, we will
reach the next generation of Xbox owners, 25 million and beyond. We are
at a watershed moment, backed by the largest entertainment brands, with
an incredible lineup of entertainment unmatched in any industry.”
