Microsoft's Xbox 360 hit three years of age this last weekend, following its original release in the US and Canada on Nov 22, 2005.
European gamers were treated to our new toy a couple of weeks later on December 2, 2005 (and our Japanese cousins collectively shrugged when it was launched over there on December 10,2005).
Despite its much-reported problems with overheating (the dreaded 'Red Ring of Death') the machine is still the under-TV box of choice for the hardcore console gamer.
