What's the difference between an XBox and an XBox 360?

Question

And does the XBox platform have any games suitable for young kids (4-7)? Thanks in advance for any info; I haven't had a videogame system since the Atari 2600.

Answer 1

About 300 dollars.



Anyhow, wow. That's a good question. I found this list of "family games" on the Xbox site.

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/promotions/familygames.htm



Ahh, here you go. After you check out their little list, head over here,

http://www.esrb.org/ratings/search.jsp



You can select a rating, like Everyone and the console. It will give you a list of game to peruse.



For what it's worth, the Nintendo Gamecube is very good in the area of children's games.



The Playstation 2 is also worth considering. It has the largest library especially considering the original Playstation titles with which it is compatible.





Dear "The-Halo-Guy",

Please put down the crack pipe.



First of all, I wouldn't recommend any system that costs $300 (Xbox 360 core) to $600 (PS3 60GB) for young kids.



As for exclusives, the Playstation brand has tons. Visit the ESRB site and just select Playstation 2. Cruise through the list. You will see plenty on that list of 1443 titles that are only available on the PS2.



One good example for children is Kingdom Hearts I & II in which you can interact with characters from a number of Disney features.



Also, if you took the time to follow up on any of the the rumors regarding the PS3 rather than simply repeating that nonsense, you would have learned that any PS3 game will play on any PS3 system. They have done nothing to restrict the playing of used or rental games on the system.



"We have definitely not been communicating that," UK spokesperson Jennie Kong confirmed. "It's false speculation. We don't have any further knowledge about this topic - either officially or unofficially, to be frank."

Answer 2

Don't listen to Guy..From..Bri, he is just another one of those sony fans thinking that the ps3 will be better. A ps3 delevoper said himself that the xbox 360 is better then the playstation 3!

The graphics from the ps3 are lame, gitery and have long loading periods.



The xbox 360 is revolutionary, and the graphics are phenominal!



I recomend this system because it will dominate!



Many people will say that sony has more games, thats not true. Think about it, what games does sony have that is only exclusive to sony! not much. there are more exclusives for the xbox and xbox 360.



Now to answer your question get the xbox 360 premuim package. ( white box) Most of the games are suitable for kids 4-7 and some are not. I recomend KAMEO: ELEMENTS OF POWER for kids. Its about a fairy who can change into 10 elemental, and magical creatures so she can save her kingdom.



p.s



Xbox 360 cost $400 and each game ranging from $50- $60. Sometimes $70 depending if you want the collectors edition game.



Playstation 3 cost $600 and each game will be $70 or more.



Sony is crazy with the price and the system is not even worth it!



If you like renting games or borrowing games, you can't if you have a ps3 because of the stupid technology sony built!

Answer 3

The 360 has a million upgraded advantageous factors that the unique didnt have. all of them comprise video games, image high quality, reminiscence, upload-ons, and countless issues regarding entertainment. They now not make video games for the Xbox anymore, so youre caught paying for used older video games to play something new. On top of the bigger determination of video games, the 360 video games are on HD DVD discs that have a critically greater effective image high quality. whilst it is composed of saving your video games, the two systems use an inner not user-friendly stress as storage. The 360 not user-friendly stress is a lot larger (20 GB) and is removeable so it quite is performed on a distinctive equipment. each and every thing else on the 360 has been upgraded from the unique xbox. It has the alternative for instant or under pressure out controllers, on line chat and communique, and greater effective media advancements. standard, the 360 kills the unique xbox equipment. I say purchase one.

Answer 4

Xbox is the old console, 360 is the new console. The 360 does play a lot of the original Xbox games, so I'd recommend that one.



I would not recommend it for kids in that age group. There are not currently games available that would target that age group, unless you played Xbox games on the 360...but honestly, I think they're still too young.

Answer 5

the difference is that the original Xbox will become a vegetable avter about 2 years and the Xbox 360 freezes constantly, both are garbage, get a playstation 3 in november

Answer 6

I have a 360 and still want the ps3 but if you don't wanna get a system that costs nearly 1000 bucks but want something fresh get a 360. the games are definitely great. but most aren't for kids. if you want a system for kids that won't have blood splatter or tempt your kids for such games, get a wii.

Answer 7

about the difference, graphics, power, and sheir money. I bought a 360 and it was a dead unit returned it bought another one, bad disk drive, as far as the the game age, the only games i've played is like "you blew his head off, hear is a billion extra points."

Answer 8

Xbox 360 is next gen (better graphics)

Answer 9

no difference
