It's for the 360 and it does make since because most buyers don't have a
clue about all the high tech stuff even the old Xbox can do. They just plug
it in and listen through their TV's speakers and they think that that's as
good as it gets. "Dolby what? HD what's that?" we forget that the masses
don't know or care about getting the most out of their consoles. As long as
Little Johnny/Jane is out of Mommy and Daddies hair for a few hours that's
all they care about. JLC

With a picture and a sentence on each page, you could probably stretch it to
about 50 pages.
