Xbox 360:Xbox 360 Mods Wiki

The Microsoft Xbox 360 is a console from the seventh generation of video game consoles. The console was launched in North America on November 22nd, 2005 followed by Europe (December 2nd, 2005) and Japan (December 10th, 2005). The Xbox 360 was the first console capable of outputting 1080p video and — through an external add-on — playing HD-DVD discs, the competitor to Blu-Ray Discs. Three major models were released in its lifespan: the original Xbox 360 ("fat"), Xbox 360 S ("slim"), and Xbox 360 E (sometimes called "super slim").
