Product Description

Two years after the Helghast assault on Vekta, the ISA is bringing the fight to the enemy's home world of Helghan. Taking the role of Sev, the battle-hardened veteran of the special forces unit known as the Legion, players will embark upon a mission to the planet Helghan to capture the Helghast leader, Emperor Visari, and bring the enemy's war machine to a halt. For Sev and his squad, the invasion of Helghan is just the beginning. Tasked with securing Pyrrhus, the Capital City, the team quickly discovers that the Helghast are a formidable enemy on their home planet. Not only have they adjusted to the planet's hostile conditions, they have also harnessed a source of power from the environment that can be used against the ISA. Sev and his team soon discover the fight is greater than simply addressing the enemy forces; the Legion must also learn how to handle the effects of the fierce enemy planet.

xBox 360 Live 12+1
The cost was rock bottom and now I have over a year of being on xBox Live. My only issue was that shipping took almost 2 weeks. Granted that's only 5 days or so past their projection, but I wanted it sooner :)

Happy with purchase.
At the time it was the lowest price I could find on the net. Purchase was easy and received product on time. No complaints

Mmmmmm LIVE
Great Price for Xbox LIVE Gold Membership. Of course after I bought it, it went cheaper. Oh well still a good deal.

Set two years after the aborted Helghast assault on Vekta, the action opens with your ISA Legion squad deployed behind enemy lines on the Helghan's unforgiving home turf.

This Game Is Great!
Just because a ton of folks heaped praises on Mario Kart before me is not stopping me from tossing in my two cents. This game is fun and addicting! It is a must purchase to add to your DS game collection.
The graphics are a blast, the sound effects are quite complimentary to the game atmosphere, and the game play is all consuming.
Buy it, own it, enjoy it! Have fun.

OK Game BUT there must be better ways to spend time...
After playing for a week I'm bored, and on the DS screen the cars are the size of ants.
It's an OK game, but I'm sorry I wasted my money on it. If it is true, that according to all DS reviews, this is one of the better games, why do people with a brain bother? Life is interesting and sometimes exciting. Mario Cart is like sticking your head in a little box and thinking you are actually using it.

Mario Kart DS; not just mobile fun!
I and my Grandson each have a copy of this on our DS consols, and have the greatest of fun racing against each otehr.
We have a similar habit on teh Wii, for when we are in different locations, and teh simklarity of a number the courses between teh Wii and DS versions of this game means that you can concentrate on the racing, rather than learning a new course. (Mind you , some of the courses are different, so this problem cannot be totally avoided ;)
So, fun for young and the not-so-young alike.
(I did hear that this game on the DS could integrate with the Wii game; not tried that yet, but not apparent where this will occur, unless through WFC?... Hmm, more playtime! ;)

Product Description

The Xbox 360 Arcade System gives you immediate access to the Next-Gen power of high-definition video, DVD movie playback, digital music, photos, online connectivity and of course the great gameplay that Xbox 360 is renowned for, while ensuring that you retain the flexibility to choose additional features to customize your system to your specific needs.

Xbox 360 Arcade bundle with included accessories

Under the Hood of Xbox 360
Xbox 360 is much smaller than its predecessor--it measures approximately 3.3 by 12.2 by 10.2 inches and weighs 7.7 lbs. It's powered by custom IBM PowerPC-based CPU with three symmetrical cores each running at 3.2 GHz. It also carries a custom ATI graphics processor with 10 MB of embedded DRAM. This is powerful enough to draw 500 million triangles per second. In other words, it makes for great looking games on standard TVs, and even better looking ones on HDTV sets thanks to built-in support for HDTV (720p/1080i/1080p) resolutions.

The unit has a 12x dual-layer DVD-ROM drive, which plays both the game media and progressive-scan DVD movies right out of the box. For game-save and media storage, Xbox 360 Arcade System users can choose to stick with the Memory Unit included with the bundle, or upgrade to either the detachable 20GB hard drive or the 120 GB hard drive (both sold separately). Along with storing files, the hard drive will make the Xbox 360 backward-compatible with a large part of the existing Xbox game library.

Control your Gameplay
The Xbox 360 Arcade System comes with one Xbox 360 Wireless Controller with rumble. Xbox 360 uses a refined button layout for its controllers. Back and Start buttons sit at the center of the controller and between them is a new Xbox Guide button, which instantly takes the user to the Xbox 360 user "Dashboard" interface. From there, they can check for friends online, access personal digital content like photos songs, and more. The black and white buttons of the first Xbox controllers have been replaced with new shoulder buttons placed above the left and right triggers. The Xbox 360 can accommodate up to four wireless controllers and has three USB 2.0 slots to use for wired controllers or for streaming your digital media from digital cameras, MP3 players, and any Windows XP-based PC. Microsoft has also created a video-conferencing camera, sold separately, that will work with the system.
