I have a 360, both PGR3 and PDZ are pretty amazing, especially on xbox live.

I've been a PC gamer for the last 10 years, but lacking the funds for a new PC I decided a 360 was a better option, and its been all good so far. :)

or have an ASBO

rofl.

To explain my chav comment (which reads rather badly now that i read it again tbh...)

How many chavs would you see working away on HL2 on a PC? Compare it to how many you'll see on a console? Trucks for companies like Argos and game have been getting attack in Glasgow and other such wonderfull places and the only things that go missing are the consoles. The thousands of pounds worth of PC equipment, MP3 Players, Stere'os are all left and the consoles go mising. (Altho Co-op lorries get there fags nicked lmao). Theres no denying that consoles are designed to attract the more, simplistic minds. Disclaimer: Does not mean everyone is.

Wana argue? I'll fuckin' chib ya, ya chav bastard :P

Hey, to think this started cos Chet overpriced the 360 by accident :P

Anyhoooooooooo :)

Been playing on the Xbox for quite a few days (Was up till 4am last night addicted to Perfect Dark Zero >_< ) And I love it :D the Picture In Picture works perfectly for it on here! play all my MP3's, DVD's and TV though the Xbox now to free up resources on my PC :) Winamp is good, but this only takes up 1mb of memory to stream, not even Winamp can beat that :)

Problem is now, I'm growing quite attached to this Xbox now! I don't wanna sell it! :(

hmm why not 720p? its supposed to be better i thought :) i believe the 360 supports both. I've got this Toshiba 65" that supports both - [www.tacp.toshiba.com] but I've never really used 1080i or 720p on it. GT4 supposedly supports 1080i but I've never tried it.

Cause that would be depriving 2 honest people an Xbox 360! :(

Just tried it on 720p, tbh looks more or less the same hehe :) even tho 720p is 1280x720 and 1080i is 1920x1200, maybe they don't support 1080i yet.

id like to see gt4 in 1080 mode if that' true, but I can't believe it'll look any better tbh, the ps2 is surely too old to be able to do that!

Its cool you got one ian! I'm very jealous. Hows project gotham? It looks stunning!

Woah wait a min, he picks a stupidly expensive 32" TV for his Xbox 360, which seems to be only used for the Xbox 360, and his PC has a 20" monitor only, and he thinks thats better? :| My Xbox probably, all told has cost in the region of £800, with 4 games (Hope the rest turn up today btw :D), 2 controllers, new Dell Monitor and the Console itself... Due to the fact I shopped around early on for bargains.

Anyhooo, Yeah PGR3 rocks! Its very similar to GT4, but its probably more enjoyable due to the Xbox Live part of it, instead of on GT4 just racing 5 other computer cars constantly, you can have some great races on there against Xbox Live people! But theres a fair share of annoying people who just ram into you on it, but I just usually file a complaint against them and submit a bad review hehe :D Just seen Covfan come on Xbox Live, hes got PGR3 too according to this :) Have to see when hes playing online and have a race with him ;)

Me and Mark have just been racing, after I worked out how to use these headsets o_O thought it would be like ventrilo but it detects sound instead, how useful 8-)

Anyway racing was pretty fun! except for the muppets who couldn't drive in the last race which Mark got cought in :D Great fun tho! Have to do it again ^_^
