An Xbox 360 starts at $199.99 but a full power system is $399.99. Neither model comes with a pre-packaged game. The Xbox stands out through it recently updated software, called the Xbox Live Experience. One of the most talked about features on the Xbox Live Experience is users’ ability to directly stream movies from Netflix.

This feature is only available to users that have unlimited streaming account on Netflix in order to use Xbox’s new feature. The new Xbox software also included new navigational designs. The Live Experience replaced the old blades with a more user friendly system. Another great new feature is that Xbox users can install games on their hard drives, making for better loading times and considerably reducing the noise the console makes.

It has been a good year for Microsoft’s Xbox as they’ve made Hironobu Sakaguichi and Nobuo Uuematsu, respectively the designer and composer of Final Fantasy, to come work for them.

Since then, Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey were made, games that were good and solid, but which did not make quite a splash on the market. AQ Interactive announced on Christmas day that Cry On, a JRPG produced by Mistwalker Studios, will never see the light of day.

 The project was canceled and this brings sadness to the hearts of JRPG fans worldwide, as Cry On had a lot of potential, but it seems that this specific game genre doesn’t quite work on the Xbox.

Xbox is known to be “the party console”, with many shooters and intense games, suited for groups of people wanting to relax by competing between themselves and JRPGs are games that focus on detail and on very intricate stories.
