[QUOTE="ProductNumber49"] I've never been really interrested in Pc gaming...Fps are the same,lack of variety goddamn_

Bad for you, PC owned everything back in times and I played only 5 good avia simulators per year in the end of 90-th, you just couldn't play all good games cause too much of them.

Now it's a wasteland.

Did you hit your head in an accident?

Whats so bad about that? a nice 1080p is 2500 in aus, things are more expensive here due to a higher standard of living. Only problem is i still go to school and work at a super market part time, i cant afford anything too expensive.

I will not argue that games like MMO's, PC RPG's and RTS keep me coming back for more all the time on my PC but to say it's more fun than my PS3/360 on my 40" 1080p LCD is rubbish. Note: Price isn't an issue for me and yes my PC is connected to the 40" as well.

In my opinion, consoles have finally given people an alternative to PC gaming with out any of the PC gaming hassels.

So you don't like consoles... because you can't use the controllers? That's what I got out of your post. And what is TBS? *laughs*

Oh look at that!!! My mouse and keyboard work on my PS3!!! Imagine that!!! /sarcasm

Why would you buy a 360 this late in the game and not know that the games look like trash on an SDTV?

What did you expect? That's like buying a PC with a crappy videocard and getting pissed that you can't play the games at maximum resolution.

The games looked rubbish on my standard def set, i couldnt even read the text in most games.

RobbieH1234

Don't play Dead Rising then. The text is impossible to read on a standard definition TV.

and mass effect ¬_¬

Works fine on my monitor at 1280x1024. Every game works fine except Oblivion which stretchs. All other games play in Letter Box. I like what my VGA monitor looks like more then my HDMI HDTV. And hell im using a 10$ cable for my monitor.

Thats because 1280 x 1024 is one of the very few options that the 360 actually supports ...
