That's right- Xbox 360 information has finally been fully released, and it's gonna blow your mind. Microsoft hasn't been very popular in the video game world. Playstation 2, extremely inferior to the xbox, has been outselling the xbox for nearly three years. This year, that may change. Not only has Microsoft been extremely successful with titles such as Chronicles of Riddick and (my personal favorite) Halo 2, it has also announced that it will be releasing the xbox 360 BEFORE Sony releases the next Playstation. (this holiday season.) But enough of that, let's give you what you really want to hear!
