i was in NYC for the weekend and while i was there i happened to be in the toys r us store sad.gif
i went to the gaming section in hope to see the xbox 360 and i did. this kid was playing call of duty 2 and the graphics completely sucked, and i mean sucked. i dont know if its the game or the tv or what but they could have been much better.

with my experience in console gaming, the games for new concoles usually crap out on graphics. I think this is because each system and its capabilites are new to the developers and they are niot quite familiar with its workings yet. i know it took most of a year for Xbox to reach its potential the first time. id expect the same this time.

there actually isn't much noticable difference unless you have an HDTV...which sucks for me...the xbox looks crappy enough on my tv. my tv is so bad, it can't have a straight line....

There is a huge difference when the 360 is hookep up to HTDV. which i dont have either sad.gif Here in the uk we have one im my local electronic store. and only a few games are playable

Call of duty...OMG they changed nothing what a joke
King Kong...Woow thats some nice graphics.
Kameo? looks like crash bandicoot on the Ps2 and as usual the rest are pre rendered junk videos. Its true that better things will come but man I aint impressed

If you want to see some shots that give some example of how a 360 looks on a HDTV, check out the pics at this page here and see for yourself.

There aren't many in game shots, its mainly showing off XBox Live, but CHRIST! THAT RESOLUTION! wub.gif wub.gif wub.gif

alot of the kiosks are using pre-release versions of the game. as for playing it on a dell 2405, i'd rather play at 720p on a 50" screen.

How many HDTV outs is the Xbox 360 able to support? I read that the PS3 supposedly will drive 2 HDTVs at the high resolutions simultaneously.

i think you might be off on that one (or i might blushing.gif ), i read something earlier about making a 2d panel more "3d" by overlapping 2 screens basically, but the issue came down to monitor/tv support. i'll see if i can dig up the link.


and if i am mistaken, bite me tongue.gif

^ You can connect an xbox 360 to a computer monitor through a vga cable, there is no dvi or hdmi support though.

I actually played with one of these systems for a couple hours, i was impressed. Perfect Dark is crap, Kameo is awesome, and the system handled Quake4 very well.

Is there a special cable or something to connect up the xbox360 to the monitor???

Remembering that I'm from the land of OZ and x360's don't come out until next March dry.gif *grumbles*

With a name like Porn Loader I dont think biting you would be a good idea for me! blink.gif

I didnt read about the 2d being overlapped to make 3d...sounds kind of lame as you would need glasses then to be able view the 3d effects.
