From the original to the Xbox 360, the Premium and the Elite, all Microsoft's Xbox game units can be accessorized with many wonderful add-ons and gadgets.

Controllers

The original xbox controller, also referred to as the "Duke" was relatively large and bulky compared to other video game controllers and has since its release been replaced by the Microsoft Controller S, a top of the line gadget which delivers a consistent and universal gaming experience.

The ergonomically improved Xbox 360 Controller now features an extended cable, or can even be wireless. This controller also has a centralized, glowing Xbox Guide Button, which grants quick access to stored game, music, and digital movie libraries. The ultimate in gamer flexibility, comfort, precision, control, and quality, controllers are no longer restricted to black and white, but can now be purchased in various colors.

Headphones

Headphones are an excellent idea for Xbox fans who live in an apartment, dorm, or other noise restricted dwelling. Most sets feature an adjustable microphone for Xbox Live play and also let you hear chat and game sounds in both ears, rather than one. This allows you to immerse yourself completely into the gaming experience. Xbox headphones are not limited to an Xbox, but can also be used on other devices. On the other hand, some ordinary headphones may not work on an Xbox. In that case, buy an Xbox headphone converter. Just plug it into the controller and any common headphone, or earphone set will be compatible.

Steering Wheels

With an eye on the future, several car manufacturers invented joystick driven, futuristic-looking vehicles, and although very curious about the concept, most people still prefer a regular steering wheel to navigate their cars. For that reason, Xbox gaming systems can be complimented with easy-to-use steering wheels, giving the serious competitive game players a relentless and unparalleled racing experience. Powerful and cutting edge, the Xbox 360 Wireless racing wheel is a technological masterpiece that stands out with its sleek design and functionality.

Arcade Sticks and Light Guns

If you are an air combat fan, or are more comfortable with a joystick than a gamepad, a decent arcade-style game stick should make it onto your birthday or Christmas wish list. For those who feel nothing beats blasting away at an enemy, beware, only a handful of Xbox games are compatible with light guns. If you do decide to get a weapon, do your research first before going on a shopping spree.

Remote control

If you want to enjoy the new world of digital entertainment on your Xbox, you need a remote. With the touch of a single button, a Universal Media Remote will play movie and music DVDs, plus control your TV and Media Center PC. The Xbox 360 supports progressive scan for DVD playback functionality and the remote includes a button for opening and closing the DVD tray. A backlit and numbered keypad grants full functionality, even in the dark.

Other Accessories

- Experience digital high definition movies and games, at up to 1080p resolution, through the Xbox 360 HDMI Cable. - Make chatting with friends and family on Xbox LIVE easy by using the Xbox 360 Messenger Kit. While using the kit you can maintain game-play functionality. - Expand your Xbox 360 experience through a 120GB Hard Drive. The Xbox 360 120GB Hard Drive includes a data transfer kit to effortlessly transfer all your saved data from your old to your new hard drive. - Memory sticks are a great way to save or transport data and games. - Running low on power while you are fighting the enemy can be quite devastating. The Xbox 360 Play and Charge Kit comes complete with charging cable and rechargeable battery pack and will let you juice up your wireless controller even in the midst of an invasion.

The list of Xbox accessories is endless and which accessories are right for you will greatly depend on the Xbox system you own, and what games you like to play. If current accessories are not what you are looking for, and you are highly competitive and tech-savvy, you could tune-up your equipment to achieve better game results.
