Xbox 360 for Dummies

From the same people who released Dungeons & Dragons for Dummies and Sex for Dummies comes their latest worldwide bestseller -- Xbox 360 for Dummies!

Scheduled to be released on November 22nd in North America this 360 page book (get it?!) will cover perplexing topics such as:

Hooking up an Xbox 360, taking advantage of HDTV and Dolby capabilities, using built-in digital video recording and wireless functions, storing media files, playing music, and displaying photos.
Shows how to have even more fun by taking an Xbox online for massively multiplayer gaming, instant messaging, and more.
Discusses the social potential of the Xbox, which people can use to make new friends, join groups and teams, and even throw fantastic parties. (fantastic parties?)
Includes tips for securing the Xbox from online threats.

Uh ... yeah. I just want to play games. Does it show you how to do that?

Securing from online threats? If that job's in the hands of the end user then we might be on the brink of Xbox360 hacking pandemics.

They need to give one of these to the Wal-Mart employees around the nation so that they set up their kiosks correctly. My Wal-Mart had an XBOX 360 displayed in a stretched 4:3 aspect 480p signal. Really defeats the purpose of an HDTV monitor to show of them demos!
