What Customers Say About Xbox 360For Dummies:
|
|
If you buy this book understand there will be a NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE between what the book describes and what you will actually be seeing. The menus are completely different and the Setup has changed. This book is now out dated. The Xbox 360 supplied an update on NOVEMBER 19th 2008.
It has been truly helpful in finding the many things i can do, plus it has some valuable web links for some extra stuff that really works. I didn't know all the ins and outs so I bought this book. This was a fantastic resource. I have never really played video games until my wife bought me this Xbox 360.
It also explains the concepts in an easy to understand style for parents who are not too game savvy.Only problem though is that the book is too US centric -- the Xbox 360 is sold all over the world with slightly different specifications, and this book just ignores everything except the US Xbox 360. I love this book -- everything is well explained.
you will not be sorry if you purchase this book, it is a perfect addition to anyones home library. If you want to know your Xbox 360 really well then this books for you, it covers everything about the system and the hardware that can be added later on. The book even covers Xbox Live and also some games.
Not a bad book, although it is more written for someone with little to know computer/gaming experience.
