Xbox
360 är som vi tidigare nämnt en spelkonsol med brett
användningsområde och förutom en gedigen tillbehörslista som kan passa vilken
spelkonsol som helst finns det ett par ovanliga tillskott. Det intressantaste
och framför allt viktigaste tillbehöret är ju dock handkontroller och det är
något som diskuterats vilt kring Xbox 360. Specifikt om kontrollerna verkligen
skulle bli helt trådlösa, vilket nu är klargjort. Xbox 360s handkontroll är
trådlös och man har inte behövt offra vibrationseffekterna för detta.
Handkontrollen ska dock gå att koppla till konsolen genom en USB-kabel, vilket
också fungerar som en laddningsstation för kontrollen när du spelar.
En annan intressant funktion på handkontrollen är “the ring of light”. Den gråa logotypen mitt på kontrollen. Denna är i själva verket en fyrdelad knapp som direkt tar dig vidare till dina favoritfunktioner som Xbox Live!, filmtittande, musiklyssnande och liknande. På Gamespot har man fått känna på den nya handkontrollen och man har nu publicerat en förhandstitt på densamma som man hittar på deras hemsida.
En tydlig indikation på Xbox 360s multimediaegenskaper är den medföljande fjärrkontrollen som har flera likheter med Microsofts Media Center Edition fjärrkontroll. Kontrollen stödjer förutom flera funktioner i Xbox 360 även universella koder för TV-apparater och Microsofts Media Center PC.
Här nedan är en komplett genomgång av de tillbehör som Xbox 360 ger stöd för från dess lansering.
