Is Gotham TV all its cracked up to be? Source TV was never really that much of a hit on Counter Strike...

i heard the xbox360 sucks there are glitches it pauses for min.please dont get one save up for the ps3 now that will kick some fucking ass

I' ve had my 360 for over a week and have had no major problems with it. It runs fine, I' ve never had it crash major or randomly from a game, it' s not scratched any of my game, music or DVD discs and even more amazingly, my wireless pad hasn' t needed charging once.

Gotham TV is quite fun when you just want to check ' the best' in online action. You can change the camera mid race, focus on different drivers even pull up their gamer cards and compare them to your own. Alternatively you could just set it up and watch the race as if you were watching one of your own replays. I have noticed some minor slowdown in places but not often enough to really show or disappoint.

Sounds cool. I suppose if they eventually start advertising league races or special events like races with Bill Gates or something (!), people will tune in to watch the action. The problem with Source TV was that nothing exciting was ever on or advertised. I guess CS isnt as suited as racing is for TV, especially as your TV is a small PC monitor with no sofa!

I asked Gamestation if they had any 360s in the other day, and they tried to sell me this core system on its own for £400, that they' d bought off someone else! What' s worse is their demo setup in the shop, which was running PGR at the time, crashed twice while I was trying it out! Made me chuckle.

right ive finnally got an xbox 360,not impressed to say the least,the graphic power aint much diff to first xbox its hardly next gen more like an update,i got perfect dark with it its a good game but the graphics are just as good as halo on the first xbox,i was expecting to be amazed but was let down, it could be because the developers aint had time to unleash the full power of the little white box,but i think m$ have well rushed it,mine keeps crashing cause of the big black fucking power brick keeps getting too warm,i should have spent my £300 on a big piss up instead,but ah you win some ya lose some.
i might just give it another go so if it warms on me a little

Punk!

Perhaps you should take it back and let someone who will appreciate it have it.

An update? A f*ckin update? Are you bloody blind mate? As good as Halo? F*ck off!

Perhaps you should have bought a good game rather than PDZ (which was overhyped and was a complete letdown!) like Call of Duty 2 or Dead or Alive 4 or even Project Gotham 3 and Condemned.

You' re an emperor are you? Pah!

...damm....

...i just hate being right all the time....

Out of all the launch titles PDZ has impressed me the least. The others I' ve got have impressed me offline and on with gameplay and outstanding graphics. My newest purchase DOA4 is especially good looking.

My power ' brick' is on my floor out of sight and out of mind. My 360 has never crashed since Christmas, the wireless pads last ages when charged, XBL is as perfect as ever and I really can' t see how Sony can top this. If they can I' ll be happy but graphics alone don' t a good console make.

i went for pdz cause i was a fan of the first on n64,i dont know i might be fucking blind...i do wank a lot,that could be it....all im saying is its not an awsome power machine that i expected,it didnt wow me....it satisfied me but didnt wow me...maybe its cause im getting older and seen a lot of shit im my time,or maybe it is the fact that i am blind,and im actually looking at the microwave.or that xbox graphics was good and its hard to make much difference with a next gen console,i guess i just want some to reasure me that ive spent £300 wisley and not wasted my money,but i am hard to please

LOL!

Yeah it' s been spent wisely. Call of Duty 2 is unbelievable and so is Dead or Alive 4 (screenshots don' t do them justice).

Depending on what kind of game you go for will depend on what to get from it in this next few months. I mean we' ve got; Dead Rising, Gears of War, Ghost Recon 3, Saints Row, Burnout Revenge, Top Spin 2, Oblivion, Test Drive Unlimited, Fight Night Round 3, Scarface, Prey, The Outfit, Tomb Raider Legend..and a whole sh1tload of other promising titles.

Since all of the 360 games on release so far (except CoD2) are only using 1 of the units 3 cores, it' s safe to say that you' ll see a HUGE increase in the visuals when developers really get some time with the system. Gears of War looks amazing!

There are many great titles on the way, and Condemned really looks awesome, so does Kameo most of the time. 360 is powerful, just takes more effort to make things shine now. If you directly compare Halo and PDZ, you can see the difference easily

Listen people.
Pdz was developed for GC then XBOX then rushed to fit the xbox360 release,how can you talk about the graphic then?
Its not like it was developed or taking advantage of the 360 power.

Anyway,i still doesnt have my 360,cost ffs 4000 kr here,+ a game...which means i have to pay up to 600 dollars,and i just have 2000 kronor now :S
Thats the american price for 360 core system,and im not getting that...
As alway MS piss on us Swedish people.


Btw wait for Gears of war/lost odyssey and blue dragon that is supposed to look very cartoonish(cant wait to see it or buy it :P )

Im not that impressed with my 360 either..

Gameplay:

Im never gona expect much new from 360 or PS3, design is the same as previous consoles just more powerful and the joypads have the same basic structure in which game genres have been ' cained' to the max in gameplay terms.. A FPS is always gona play the same, a racer is always gona play the same and so on..

Graphics:

To be totally honest the HD aspect of 360 is nothing new atall, in fact its a step back from what im used to on my PC with much higher resolutions i run games at.. Ive still yet to see a game on 360 looks anywhere near as good as some of my best PC games - (yes i do have a very powerful PC Rig tho).. Even Quake 4 looks like its running on a next generation system up from the 360 version when running on my PC.. COD2 also maxed out looks (and plays) soo much better than on 360...

Saying that, i know alot of people who are dont own powerful PC rigs who love and are truly impressed with what 360 is producing..

IM actually getting more and more board to death with the state of left-right anologe-control style console gaming.. everything is just the same S^%T but with better graphics.. NINTENDO seem to think the same and thank god for that.. the DS is my saviour titles like WARIO/MK DS/ METEOS have actually give me hope in video games again..

Wait for revolution, thats my advise..

I know what you' re saying. I' ve got an Alienware Area-51 5500 and ,y pc versions of both Quake 4 and Call of Duty 2 look way better than on my 360. But you can' t not be imppressed by the fact that it' s a console running in HD, with no loss of content.

While the resolutions won' t increase from what it can already display, the games will quickly technically surpass what you can do with your pc. And games like Project Gotham 3, Dead or Alive 4, Kameo etc aren' t available on your pc so you can hardly complain.

When Gears of War (i know, pc too), Ghost Recon 3 (i know, i know), Resident Evil 5 (ha!), Too Human etc all make release then you' ll see huge improvements on what we already have with the launch titles.

I' m impressed with the unit, but i still wish they' d release more bloody games for it!

Um, what kind of specs does a PC like that have and how much does it cost?
Is it like Pentium 8 10Ghz Tripple Core, 25GbDDR3ram, 10Tb harddrive, dual-layer blu-ray burner, Geforce9999 4Gbram...
As you might guess I don' t know anything about the standard of todays PC components.

The important parts...

Pentium 4 3.2GHz processor
2GB DDR-RAM running at 533MHz (max capacity is 4GB)
2 NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT' s in SLI (2 cards in parallel)
250GB hard drive with a 7200 rpm spindle speed

It cost me the equilvalent of $1599 when i got it, but you can pick it up now for about $1250 which isn' t a masive difference.

Basically it' s better than my 360 at the moment since all the games bar CoD2 are running on 1 core and were rushed for launch, but it' ll soon be crap compared to my nice shiny white console once developers have gotten to grips with it.

yeahi think thats why im not impresed either,ive been playin on a high spec pc for the last 6 month...thats prob why it didnt wow me,people that are used to playing xbox or playstation 2 probs could see the difference,but when your playing quake 4 on high settings it looks better than the 360 to me,my xbox has been in a dark cupboard for about 12 month collecting dust,cause my pc rocks and i prefer pc gaming,you can download patches for your games,play online without needing fucking credit cards and that,end of the day consoles wont replace pc`s,i mean can you edit maps and skins on the 360? can you get porn? can you stick a new graphics card in the 360 when it starts to get shit? dont get me wrong i am not dissatisfied with the 360 and just not over the moon with it,another thing that bugs me...........£50 a fucking game im used to being a tight arse and waiting untill my local gameshop sells the charting pc games for £20 each...ive never bought a pc game over £29,and my 360 turned itself off last night and all these red lights came on.....i think it was the powerbrick over heating again,but ive solved that now,i used some off my sons lego to raise it off the floor at each end,and i had it plugged into an extension,so i plugged it straight into the wall and its fine now :)
CANT W8 FOR GEARS OF WAR AND TOO HUMAN TO COME OUT.....OH YEAH AND PREY
thanks for reading my rant

...dude...

..is it me... ...or are you toatally off your face on booze & drugs every time you post?....

..anyway.. ...i am still in a state of shock regarding X' s Biggest strength (close ties to PC gaming) and how those dumb@$$es at MS continually fail to take advantage of this HUGE bonus....

...the fact that you have to wait for years to get crap ports of games like Doom 3 and Half Life 2 is utterly retarded....

..and what about the endless list of great PC games that NEVER even make it?....

....stupid...

who here bought xbox for doom3 or half life2?
ANd who here buy xbox360 for pc ports?
Its nice that pc ports comes,but thats not what im after,its just nice that people have that options to get them to their console.
But dont talk like we all waited for doom3/hl2 to xbox :)
I got those games on pc btw.

...dude...

..is it me... ...or are you toatally off your face on booze & drugs every time you post?....

no its not you :)
the english slang language might confuse you that tiny bit more though.

i now like my 360.....and ive also started to like kebabs.with all this chicken flu shit knocking about.....who gives a fuck about ecoli

*ive come to the conclusion....my £300 is gone...its payday tomorow...so time to make another idiotic purchase*
