XBOX 360

W3rd...I finally went out and bought my XBOX 360. I've had the money saved up for it for a long time, so don't start giving me hell about buying it when I have a baby coming next month. But thanks for reading my previous post anyway. I bought Burnout: Revenge which I've also played on the regular XBOX. The XBOX 360 version is, obviously, an incredible game. As far as gameplay, it's pretty much the same as the XBOX version, but playing it in HD is incredible. I don't own an HD TV so I have the 360 hooked up via HD VGA cable to a 19" computer monitor which is capable of quite high resolution. It's just amazing how good the graphics levels are. I, as a long time PC gamer, was quite skeptical of the graphics power that the 360 would be capable of. I said, as many others did, that a console would never compare to a PC. However, having played Call of Duty 2 on the PC and on the 360, the 360 can definitely hold it's own. While the PC could no doubt out perform the 360 with the right video card (say, dual 7900 GTXs), processor, monitor, memory, hard drive and all that jazz, you'd have to pay 3 grand to get the same performance that you can get out of an XBOX 360 for 3 hundred. I can't wait to see how good Battlefield 2 is going to look on the 360. The games on the 360 are just amazing looking. I can't get over it. Just fantastic. I'm very happy with the 360.
