Xbox 360: Must-Buy for the Hard-Core Gamer

Microsoft's new Xbox 360, on the market Tuesday, is expensive -- $400 -- but worth it if you are a hard-core gamer. The sound and graphics are amazing, the games are fun, and it makes a decent media hub for your DVDs, digital photos and music.

Still, there's no blockbuster game, and it can't play some of the older Xbox games. If you aren't a hardcore gamer, reviewer Robert Holt says, you might want to wait until the price goes down or there are more games available.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
