E3 2005 was the occasion to learn some a little more on the battery equipping the new Wireless levers with Xbox 360. Indeed, Microsoft intends to market two types of accessory allowing to reload battery AA of the pads, namely: Play & Charges Kit and Refillable Battery Pack. The first consists of a cable connecting between its pad Wireless and its console thus making it possible to reload its battery while playing, very useful when your battery arrives at court of autonomy in full part. The second will include/understand a system of recharging for batteries connecting directly on a socket-outlet.

Gamers will continue to have access to exclusive multi and single player content including levels, weapons and gear.Get up to speed on what will be coming. Keep in mind that the following information, including specifications and design, are subject to change. As we get closer to the launch of Xbox 360 we will return with more information and any updated details.The Next Generation of Xbox LiveWe are focusing on three areas to build upon the success of Xbox Live in the next generation.GamesOnline is redefined. All games will be Xbox Live Enabled and in high-definition. There are a breadth of titles for all types of entertainment seekers and gamers. Enhanced Matchmaking GamerCards and GamerZones make meeting gamers at your skill level easier than ever! Tournaments and Leagues - Xbox Live and user created tournaments. Spectator Mode - watch other gamers compete in games. CommunicationXbox Live will be the channel for facilitating all levels of communication between friends family and competitors whether it is social, collaborative or competitive Stay Connected/Enhanced Friends Lists Voice Chat everywhere Video Chat Instant Messaging Stored messages One Single Unified Service - Gamers can talk and interact across both Xbox platformsPersonalizationMarketplace - Download demos, trailers, episodic content, levels, weapons, vehicles, and more. Exclusive Programming - Play against real-world celebrities via exclusive programs like Game with Fame and Mystery Gamer. Xbox.com Integration - Manage friends lists, view gamercards and achievements and interact on Xbox.com Free Access to Xbox Live - Instantly become a member of the Xbox Live community free! Instant Access on Xbox 360In the next generation, we want all consumers who purchase Xbox 360 to have the opportunity to experience Xbox Live at the touch of a button. Out of the box a consumer will experience:Membership on the Xbox Live community by just plugging in an Ethernet cord Access to Xbox Live Marketplace Ability to download from Xbox Live Arcade Community and Communication Features (Gamertag, Gamer Profile, Message Center) Limited Online Multiplayer Gaming (e.g. Free Xbox Live Weekend) Free 1 month trial for gaming online out of the box How much will this cost? Nothing!Now, if they want to enjoy full-time, full-access multiplayer gaming action this will require a paid subscription just like today. Consider that Xbox 360 owners can get online at the standard level decribed above. There will be many who will want to upgrade. This presents a tremendous opportunity for our retail partners to drive more Xbox Live subscription sales.The Xbox Live MarketplaceThe Xbox Live Marketplace will provide a one-stop shop for consumers to download new game trailers, demos, episodic content, new game levels, maps, weapons, vehicles, skins, and other types of new content on demand. The Xbox Live Marketplace is accessible to everyone who plugs a broadband cable into the back of Xbox 360 and creates an Xbox Live account. Just like today, content will be both free and premium. Premium content is content that you purchase.The way an Xbox Live member purchases content in the Xbox Live Marketplace is by using Points. We will be offering Points Cards at retail and therefore all retailers are given the opportunity to drive revenue and sales around the Points Card.The Xbox Live Marketplace enables users to personalize and extend their gaming experience, while simultaneously providing a valuable tool for publishers and partners to promote their brands and titles via demos and trailers. Studies show gamers want to try by trial and see games in action. Ultimately, by providing access to demos and trailers via Xbox Live, they will need to go back to retail to purchase the full games. Another way for our valued retailers to drive revenue.Current Xbox Live SubscribersA current Xbox Live subscription grants you membership to Xbox Live on both consoles. You can only access the service using a profile/gamertag through one of the consoles at a time though.Game Compatibility on Xbox LiveYou can play any backward compatible Xbox Live games against someone who owns that same game on an Xbox. So, purely as an example, you might pop in your Halo 2 game in the Xbox 360 and connect to your friends playing Halo 2 on their Xbox units.Note that the Xbox 360 will be backward compatible with the top selling Xbox games. Look for more details on compatibility as we draw closer to the launch.Credit Card RequirementOne of the top concerns and barriers to Xbox Live access today is the credit card requirement. Future Xbox Live gamers will no longer be required to provide credit card information when creating their account!"
Bored to read it but are those things in the picture included with XBOX360 or will we have to buy them extra?
