Advancements in video games have been exhibited by, but not limited to graphics, in-game mechanics and seemingly endless possibilities for interaction within the community.
Xbox use is not simply limited to playing games, as the availability of apps like Netflix, Hulu and YouTube have extended the already wide use of the 360.
