3 Gaming with the Xbox

I could be wrong, but I’m fairly sure that most folks don’t go out to buy an Xbox 360 thinking “Wow, this is going to be great when I put my photos on it and download movie trailers!” In fact, I’m fairly sure that the Xbox 360 consoles people purchase are primarily for playing kick-ass games such as Halo 3 (Figure 3.1), and all of that other stuff is just nice fluffy extra goodness piled on top of the gaming sundae that is the Xbox 360.

Figure 3.1. Halo 3 is a major reason for owning an Xbox 360.
