xbox360 vs pc, why even bother, ALOT of ppl have had the ati radeon 9800(or equivlent) for a cupple years now, i dont see xbox 360 doing 1280x1024+ i think the max high def tv (if you have 10 grand) is 1280x768, and the pixels are still 4 times larger, besides have you actually played one, gun for example, runs just as smooth and has more oh haa goodies on the pc using a 32bit amd @1ghz slower and a nvidia FX series card.

Price? the new xbox basic crap system, just at a glance is 450us$ jeez for that much you could make a media center pc, that would perform almost as well and has a tivo like functionality in it (+ music server) also the crappyness of the biuld of the xbox360 its amazing , the cd tray shakes like a scared rabbit, the fan sounds like a motorboat, and the simple fact that its not backwards compatible... hey MS your not nintendo with 3 decades of followers behind you, your the company that most ppl have bashed for 2+ decades

come back to this when the ps3 comes out, they are using Geforce 7's as the basic dev-kits untill nvidia finishes refining their new generation of video cards.. lets also not forget their 128bit core cpu (which is the reason i got a ps2, not becuase the gfx were good but it was just simply better at number games) course this time round sony seems to have both angles covered
Dude... WTF?

Unrelated to DX10, but yes... if you want to see fantastic eye candy go watch the Oblivion videos and trailers. Ahh... too bad i'll be leaving on a three month trip right after it comes out :(


I sat & watched all 6 or so. Drooling at each one, waiting for it to come out! :D

Oblivion does look very nice, but it didn't blow me away. I did find the number of enemies swarming about smoothly in sections of Lost Planet pretty impressive though.

That does look good. Might be worth getting a 360 for once the price becomes not insane.


5 years then, when the 720 is out :p
