Xbox Types: The Evolution of the Xbox 360

Of the various Xbox types that exist, the 360 version is considered to be the seventh generation of video
game consoles and comes as many different kinds of Xbox. The evolution of the Xbox 360 started in 2007 and is forecasted to continue through 2015.  There have been a number of different models that have come and gone including the Xbox 360 Premium (both 20GB and 60GB), the 360 Core, 360 Arcade, 360 Elite, 360 special editions, and recently the 360 S 4GB, the 360 250GB, and 320GB versions.

Aside from all of the various types, there are also the various bundles that have been released.  It seems like every Holiday season there is a different bundle that highlights a special edition of the 360. This season is no different as they released the Halo 4 Bundle which includes a specialty painted console, 2 painted wireless controllers and of course a copy of the game.  Previous bundles included the Xbox 360 Arcade, and the Holiday bundles, which just give additional controllers and additional games.

The Xbox types that have been mentioned are just the types that have been officially released by Microsoft.  There are also a number of un-official bundles, mods, and paint jobs that avid fans can indulge in and enjoy. These include but are not limited to gold controllers, see-thru cases, and different colored glowing rings for the console.

Along with the various types of Xbox that have come through there has also been a major add-on that is truly a revolution in the gaming industry. It is called the Xbox Kinect and using a camera it turns your body movement into the controls for the games. The Kinect version is truly the next generation of gaming, as it doesn't require the use of a controller at all and has similar recognition to the Wii.  With this technology it makes for an awesome tactical experience as you jump and kick in real life and it gets translated into movement in the game. Xbox has also teamed up with Nike+ and integrated a training bundle which uses the technology to help people meet their fitness goals.

There are many options when looking at the different kinds of the Xbox and there will be many more released in the future.  As of right now the developers say that they are mid-life with the device and if we take the number of Xbox kinds that have already been released as an indication of what they are going to be making, there are still many Xbox types to come.
