360 is an Xbox 360 video games magazine published by Imagine Publishing in the UK. Originally published four-weekly, the magazine switched to a three-weekly schedule in 2009.[1]
The magazine is split into four main sections: Agenda, Foreplay, Reviews and Live Style. The double page spread on pages eight and nine, called Thread, is composed of emails, letters and posts or sections of posts from the 360 magazine forum. On page nine, there is a pie chart showing votes cast on the 360 magazine forum on a different subject every week, which is chosen by the magazine staff.
There are also two features following the Reviews section that can be as long as ten pages. As a standard, the magazine is 130 pages long.[5] The magazine targets the mature gamer demographic, similar to that of Edge magazine.
The magazine also reviews games, giving an overall score marked out of 5. They also have started to review game related hardware on occasion as well as aspects of Xbox Live. These typically include games available for purchase on the Xbox Live Marketplace and various retail games with Live functionality.
