A definite pick!

The Microsoft XBOX 360 is a wonderful console. It's powerful and can practically be considered a computer. I own one but unfortunately don't have a hard drive. Finding one new with a hard drive for $199 is certainly an amazing thing. The XBOX 360 is one of the newer consoles and definitely shows that it is the best. This console has many releases including the famous Halo 3. Halo 3 is ONLY available for XBOX 360 so if you are a big Halo fan this is a great decision for you. It delivers amazing graphics and amazing sound quality. It's fast to deliver as well. No special setup is required, simply plug it into a wall jack and into your TV and your good to go. The home screen is organized and easy to maneuver. With the hard drive you can store music, photos, etc. If you have XBOX live you can also download tons of demos, themes, and tons more with "Achievment points" you earn by doing certain things in certain games. You can also connect to a PC with Windows XP Media Center Edition on it and that opens up a whole new window of functionality for the XBOX 360.
