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.
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.
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.
XBOX 360 for Dummies
Not a bad book, although it is more written for someone with little to know computer/gaming experience.
