Xbox 360 or Playstation 3?
Posted by Ianwoollam
Well...I am still unsure about burned xbox 1 games (backups) emulation on that new box. Is it possible? And what about we who have just a regular TV (not HDTV)? Is the 360 going to suck badly in our TVs? What about the modchips? Should I still wait for a bit before buying? Lots of questions there. 
Why don't I believe you when you say "backups"? 
The 360 will work on a normal tv, but it won't look *that* much better than the curret xbox. You have to remember that a normal tv has a very low screen res, while HDTVs have far beter resolutions, so will look much better.
Its still worth getting an xbox360 - 90% of people buying one imo wont have an hdtv.

What do you think, what that 360 could cost after the Christmas or when PS3 comes? I have though if I will buy it just then? I have enough money to get it now that's for sure but I have always been pretty stingy
woohoo! just got word its been dispatched by DHL :/
Now I've heard from my good chum Neil Pearson that DHL are shockingly bad, Ian bets its going back!

Can you plug the 360 into an LCD monitor? got a VGA and DVI connection.
Yep you have to get the relevant cables tho, think I have a VGA cable on order

Will it then run at anywhere near the quality you'll get with a HDTV? because the prices are totally outragous.
Yeah it will.
Remember HDTV is just TV with a higher resolution, afaik. So your 17" LCD monitor will defo be of a high enough resolution to make it HD Its just not going to be on a huge screen is all.

Cool, it working on my monitor is probably enough to seal the deal wont get one till January though, maybe even later as looking at the reviews for the launch titles, a lot of them are pretty mediocre, EAs offerings in particular seem to be almost universaly crap.

wasnt amazed at all tbfh. lol.
overhyped imho... gfx were good but i expected better.. probabluy because i was taken in by the rendered videos lol but yeaa obviously nowhere near PC standard.
Im not gonna pay £500-700 to get an xbox.. when i get my PC to look better for half the price.

WTF are you on about? its £290 for an xbox 360, i'd like to see you find a PC of similar power for that price. For the hardware you get, its amazing value especially when you consider you'll be using it for the latest games in 4 years (and the graphics will be getting better all the time, compare halo to halo 2)
I love PC gaming, more so than consoles but the amount of money you have to spend to continue playing the latest games is rediculous.

Tbh, if hes posting here he already has a PC, so has saved himself alot of cash already, so the £290 can go to an upgrade and you can get a pretty uber CPU/mobo/gfx card upgrade for that price
As for Preorders, theres alot of people who pre-ordered from Argos who are confident of getting theres tomorrow. I'll tell you right now, 99% of them wont be. Consoles were recalled just this week and new ones dispatched, and even the new ones arent free of all the documented problems
Microsoft could be looking at a major problem soon.

You could get one of a CPU/GFX card for that price, but the rest of you're system would slow it down, and in a year or so you'll be wanting a new one again.
If I use a monitor the only problem is sound so I guess i'll have to get a speaker system Anyone recomend some? (fairly cheap ones)
