After months of expectation, Microsoft today launched its Xbox 360 console, hoping to guarantee a comfortable head start over rival Sony’s PlayStation 3. As anticipated, the videogame is available in two versions, a basic Core System (USD 300) and a premium edition (USD 400), which includes a wireless controller, a 20 GB HD, an Ethernet cable, a headset, chrome finish and a limited free media remote. There are more than 50 titles available at launch. The Xbox 360 is based on a Power-like CPU featuring three separate cores running at 3.2 GHz. It uses a custom ATI GPU clocked at 500 MHz and sports 512 MB of RAM.
