EchoNoise Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 Could I hook a computer minot into the xmos somehow? Would that get good graphics?Ey??... minot??... xmos??^ 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 *grumbles*
dcyphure Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 i really like the 360 controller, bought one for my pc and definitly beats all the other crap pc pads out there. have to use controlmk to map mouse and keyboard though but no biggie.
suryad Posted November 24, 2005 Posted November 24, 2005 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 ), 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 With a name like Porn Loader I dont think biting you would be a good idea for me! 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.

ripken204 Posted November 25, 2005 Author Posted November 25, 2005 lol, my dad yesterday was actaully talkin about how he and his friends spent hours playing pong when they were young b/c i was talking bout the xbox360 to my cousin.
ender341 Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 personally i agree with the OP, even compared to my friends comp were all the settings are at the lowest, COD2 looks bad in comparison on 360 (haven't seen any high res, but personally i don;t like console FPS's nearly as much as PC ones)
Nerwin Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 I Don't really care for the Xbox 360 The ps3 will be the Best!
breadandbubbles Posted December 5, 2005 Posted December 5, 2005 i really dont see any room for debate...the xbox is far better than playstation. the online capabilities, the harddrive, the 9 ft. long controller cords on their first xbox. they want their customers to be happy! this new system of theirs has everything, while still maintaining the classification of "gaming console", not pc. there is nothing about the ps2 thats better than the xbox.of course i dont mean graphics. naturally, the latest system will often have the best graphics. PS3 will look better than xbox360, and xbox 3 will look better than PS3. of course, thats why xbox looks better on screen than PS2...but ps2 didnt even TRY to offer good services. i HATE memory cards! i love putting my music on the harddrive and listening to custom tracks as i play.some of you out there might be saying "but the PS2 GAMEs are better than xbox!"well my friends, that is becoming less and less of an issue. if any of you have looked, these new xbox360 games are pretty much the same price as the xbox games from the first system. most systems have to maintain a low price to be competitive. not to MENTION the incredible rise in hacking and modding lately.so how is it that game developers can still charge the same prices, with the cost of developing increasing due to the complexity and graphics, of the games, but without experienceing a serious increase in sales?porting!thats right my friends, it will be very far and few between that you will find a game exclusive for only one system. sure, every system has their own line. mario, for instance. PS2 has a number, so does xbox. but more and more you are seeing that virtually all decent games are becoming available for more than one system. its basically coming down to the system now, not the games (more and more, i mean. not yet though).and xbox is a far better system in general, putting aside all graphic capabilities which improve with eack system anyway.
Mocht4R Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 (edited) The XBox 360 graphics are going to be amazing, give it some time. Game developers are getting used to the new technology the 360 has in store. But when i played it, it looked so real. It wasn't call of duty, i forgot what game it was, racing though.
