Microsoft's Xbox now accounts for 37 percent of the game console market, and the new Xbox 360 is due out for the 2005 holiday season, months before Sony's PlayStation 3.

This friendly guide shows how to maximize both gaming and non-gaming features of this amazing machine.

1 out of 5 stars OUT DATED MATERIAL

This book is now out dated. The Xbox 360 supplied an update on NOVEMBER 19th 2008. The menus are completely different and the Setup has changed. If you buy this book understand there will be a NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE between what the book describes and what you will actually be seeing.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome Book

This was a fantastic resource. I have never really played video games until my wife bought me this Xbox 360. I didn't know all the ins and outs so I bought this book. It has been truly helpful in finding the many things i can do, plus it has some valuable web links for some extra stuff that really works.

4 out of 5 stars Great book

I love this book -- everything is well explained. It also explains the concepts in an easy to understand style for parents who are not too game savvy.

Only problem though is that the book is too US centric -- the Xbox 360 is sold all over the world with slightly different specifications, and this book just ignores everything except the US Xbox 360.

5 out of 5 stars Xbox 360 in and out

If you want to know your Xbox 360 really well then this books for you, it covers everything about the system and the hardware that can be added later on. The book even covers Xbox Live and also some games. you will not be sorry if you purchase this book, it is a perfect addition to anyones home library.

4 out of 5 stars XBOX 360 for Dummies

Not a bad book, although it is more written for someone with little to know computer/gaming experience.
