XBOX 360!
 
What can I say, got one of these yesterday, plugged in and within 10 mins XBOX live sorted and I'm on-line playing PGR3

Still got to sort the media centre stuff out but this thing rocks!

I've been a Sony die hard for a while now but this is just a best console there is right now... power supplies a tad on the large size though :rolleye:

Have you got a high def TV? I've been eyeing one of these off.

JPM 10-Feb-2006 12:03

No, I'm shacked up at Claire's so until we move house no TV, but it is switcheable between normal TV (50/60hz) and HDTV 720 and the higher one???, looks amazing on a normal TV so no doubt it'll knock your socks off on HD

Excellent, it's supposed to have proper dolby surround sound etc as well. I'm sold!

The high def makes a huge difference. My Sky picture looks average compared to watching a DVD through all the HD kit.

Sky+ will HD soon too ...

Downloaded a demo of Quake 4 this morning (600Mb) so got that to entertain me this evening :)

No idea of anyone else on here has one, I'd imagine Chillo might.... my XBOX gamer tag for anyone who might be interested is "FREAK UK" good eh? :lol:

Ooh! I loved Quake, spent far too many hours in front of that. I actually blame UT: GOTY Edition for me having to wear glasses to look at screens and read now!

JPM 10-Feb-2006 12:45

UT2004 was a cracker....

Hi Jon,

got your friend request the other day!
Will catch up online soon, i'm currently playing pgr3, cod2, doa4 and still halo2!!

If you have an ipod, try hooking that up for your own custom soundtracks when playing pgr! or if you download the media centre software you can hook up your laptop etc to it.
Its excellent for viewing digi camera pics too, the 360 is an amazing bit of kit!

defo need to go hi def!
running mine at 1280x768 via the MS vga lead on a pioneer 43" plasma and full 5.1 through a denon AV amp and B&W speakers + Rel storm sub:D
its fookin awesome!!:D:D

Simon.

JPM 14-Feb-2006 17:36

I got your gamer tag off your sig, myself and Scottch are on most night's I assume you can plug your iPod straight in and it works?

House is upside down at the moment, but hopefully the PC's will be connected tonight reading for the media centre etc

I need to go HD too, PGR3 COD2 and Quake 4 currently, although 99% of my time is on PGR3.... hopefully we can meet up soon!
