Xbox 360 Competitions: System Essentials
The Xbox 360 is Microsoft’s seventh-generation home video game console. The second Microsoft-produced console, the Xbox 360 succeeds the Xbox and competes for consumer sales with Sony’s PlayStation 3 and Nintendo’s Wii as part of the next-generation in home-based gaming systems. The Xbox 360 was officially launched on May 12, 2005, in the U.S., on the MTV Network, and is available in three models: Xbox 360 Arcade (which replaced the Core model), Xbox 360 Pro, and Xbox 360 Elite. As of February 2009, nearly 14 million Xbox 360 video game consoles had been sold in the U.S. alone.
While integrated online accessibility has now become industry standard (i.e. PlayStation 3’s PlayStation Network), the Xbox 360 was the first platform to pioneer built-in Internet compatibility, via the Xbox LIVE service. This meant any gamer with a broadband connection could compete in an online Xbox 360 tournament or one-on-one Xbox 360 battle, as well as download video content from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace and interact with other users in the Xbox 360 LIVE community. As a free member of BringIt, however, you can enjoy the social aspect of the community, without the pressure to troll for tournament opponents interested in a winner-take-all online Xbox 360 competition: Members of BringIt can instantaneously hook up with qualified challengers looking to compete for cash…without the need for blind faith or those annoying get-to-know-you niceties.
Xbox 360 Tournaments: Pros of the Platform
Xbox 360 led the way in integrated online compatibility; but the Xbox 360 console is more than just a vehicle for continuous connectivity. Innovative functions and features abound in Microsoft’s next-gen offering:
- Xbox LIVE—outlined above—means a broadband connection is your ticket to an online Xbox 360 challenge, free downloadable content, gamer profile showcasing, avatar sharing, chatting via friends list, and much, much more

- Netflix movies & TV shows—over 12,000 movie titles and a growing number of television programs—are available for streaming from Netflix directly to the Xbox 360 of anyone with both a Netflix and Xbox LIVE Gold membership
- High-definition design—means every Xbox 360 video game is created for viewing on a high-def, wide-screen TV; even if you’re still saddled with an older model, you’ll be blown away by the crisp quality of HD Xbox 360 competitions
- Backward compatibility—enables Xbox 360 owners who don’t want to drop coin on a crop of new games to remain blissfully unaware of how much more the newer releases rock
- Live Camera—lets fans of the Xbox 360 enjoy live video chat or send prerecorded video messages via the Xbox LIVE service
The Online Xbox 360 Tournament on BringIt
As with the Wii, PS2, and PS3 platforms, BringIt enables gamers to compete in one-to-one Xbox 360 challenges or multilevel Xbox 360 tournaments in some of the most highly touted video game titles. When you sign up for a free BringIt membership, you have access to a huge pool of competitors looking to eradicate their rivals in a racing, fighting, first person shooter, third person shooter, music, or sports Xbox 360 battle. Most importantly, we take safeguarding your cash very seriously. At BringIt, we act as a third party, holding all monies in an FDIC-insured escrow account until a victor has been both reported and verified. So if mailing cash to some guy you found in an Xbox forum adds to your sense of adventure, go for it. But if you’d rather focus your pregame nerves on annihilating your opponent in a Call of Duty 4 competition, allow us to be accountable for the payoff.
Join BringIt now! And experience the thrill of an online Xbox 360 tournament—when you challenge, play, and earn in an ultra-professional and highly profitable environment.
