There are 2 different bundles at the moment in which the XBOX 360 can be purchased, one being the XBOX 360 Core and the other the XBOX 360 Platinum.

    Nintendo Wii Game Console - The Winning Game Solution Wii All Have Been Waiting For

    ...son to Xbox live since it does not employ a single unifying Friend Code, and codes must be entered on a game-by-game basis. However the Wii game console has one code for all games.

    The console will always be online, even when powered off (standby). This quiet time is used to update games, such as adding new features, characters, and even gifts for you!
