    Tucker and singer Kardinal Offishall. The store will open at midnight for

    Xbox 360 challenges gamers to break out of the linear systems they have
    been used to and experience the next generation of gaming. In addition to
    top-notch new high-definition games in a more powerful and flexible system,
    the 360 has become an integrated entertainment center. Out of the box the
    system can play DVD movies, connect to a portable music device, accept digital

    image files that can then be viewed on your TV.

    Beyond the three 3.2GHz core processors, the 500 MHz graphics processor
    and the 512 MB of RAM, the 360 is eight times more powerful than its
    predecessor. Wireless integration makes it even better, allowing automatic
    wireless connection for up to four controllers.
    Xbox 360 is officially available across the country tomorrow, with all
    Best Buy stores opening at 8am, but quantities will be extremely limited.
    Those customers hoping to put one under the tree should plan to be there
    early. More stock will be coming in early December, but quantities will
    continue to be in short supply.
