[edit] Media Remote in Oceania

I live in Australia, and My mates who bought the 360 Pro all received remotes instead of a headset, like in the article, however I bought a Pro yesterday (25.4.08) and received a headset like in other regions. It was a new shipment and is the PAL version, AND it says it on the box. I think this means that the package has changed, so I will remove the detail in the chart until proven otherwise.--Peeto87 (talk) 05:09, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Adding Rumored Hardware Stuff

Despite it being pretty well reported we can't put un-official rumor information in the article until it becomes official.

That means the Jasper, Opus and Vahalla Motherboard designs, the Newton Motion sensative controller, the 60 Gig hard drive, and the external Blu-Ray drive (if they get a blu-ray drive it is NOT going to be internal) --8bitJake (talk) 19:52, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Halo 3

Shouldn't there be a little more info on Halo 3 here than there is? That's like the title game for Xbox360. Razor Rozar7 (talk) 19:07, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Not really COD4 has outsold it, and ranks higher on XBL with more player. Perhaps if you add a Overhyped/Flops section, add it there...

So what? Halo is Halo. Sure COD4 is awesome, but Halo 3 IS the number 1 360 game. And in terms of overhyped, Halo 2 was more overhyped if anything, 3 was hyped just right.76.69.168.223 (talk) 05:03, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] First to reach 10 million in sales

The claim made by Microsoft that the 360 is the first to reach sales of 10 Million in the US is not true. In Nintendo's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ending March '07 and March '08, the total number of Wiis sold in "The Americas" is 10,610,000 Carpeamentum (talk) 13:48, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

The US is not the same as "The Americas". Check a map, I'm not even kidding, there is much more than the US in North and South America. Enjoy your new-found knowledge. 24.72.113.212 (talk) 20:01, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] xbox 360 errors

i would like to see much more information on the failure rate of the "360" systems, and other malfunctions that had been reported.

The red ring of death? This is de officialy name error from Microsoft???? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.27.17.46 (talk) 20:14, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Caption fixed. Thank you. xenocidic ( talk ¿ review ) 20:17, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion on Xbox 360 modding

This page makes no mention of the xbox 360 modding scene as far as I can tell. It should explain what is required (flashing the DVD drive's firmware), how this differs from the original Xbox and what Microsoft has done to try to prevent this. --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 03:15, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] System memory: Why is it left out?

I noticed that the specifications in the infobox don't specify anything about system memory.

The Xbox 360 has 512MB of GDDR3 RAM clocked at 700MHz and has a Unified Memory Architecture; it should be part of that infobox. Memory is a crucial component to any system, be it a server, home PC or game console. To leave this information out just seems silly.

I tried to edit it in myself, but it does not appear in the infobox when I preview. Someone please do this. User918 (talk) 18:09, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Memory Card size for Arcade Bundle

Hey, I can't edit this page but recently the 360 Arcade bundle started coming with 512MB memory cards as opposed to the old 256MB memory cards. The article should be updated to reflect this change. 71.7.244.180 (talk) 23:11, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 360 revisions

The article is missing a section, where it specifies the differences between the motherboards(xenon, zephyr, & falcon), and info about all the dvd drives (samsung, hitachi, & benq). So we know which 360 we have or which one is the current. . --MarioV (talk) 22:11, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
