oosupermarioo is absolutely right. this isn't about system wars, this is about many - not all - games lacking in depth and diversity. although there are a few games that can be enjoyed for a long time like elder scrolls IV and gears of war (which personally i grew tired of after finishing the single player portion in a few hours and playing those 2min. matches online) but those don't appeal to every gamer. most of the games available this generation (360, ps3, and wii) aren't too heavy on content, and focus on visual appeal (360, ps3) and new game mechanics (wii), but i think once the developers learn how to work with these machines more efficiently and learn the ins and outs of them, we are going to see some of the best games ever. you just need to give it time.

be careful on ebay. lots and lots of people are selling broken - three red lights - x360's. i tried looking for one on ebay (for my brother) and i thought i found a good deal, i think it was like $250 for the console, 2 cont., and 3 games and at the bottom of the description it said "everything in excellent condition, except console". i almost bought it but i read through the description twice and found that in small text. so if your looking for a working xbox on ebay READ CAREFULLY! otherwise it should say in the title, but some people like to trick others.

Fatal Frame. i don't really remember too much because i couldn't play it after 30mins into it - too too scary - but i do remember at the beginning when your walking down some hall and you see a dark shadowy figure walk across the screen, i literally jumped out of my own skin. silent hill 2/3, zone of the enders: the 2nd runner, siren, max payne 1/2 (i would hide under my blanket when you had to do the creepy maze parts and you could here baby screams and a woman crying), shadow of the colossus (taking down those huge creatures gave me a real sense of accomplishment), and some many other games.

[QUOTE="jdogthebomb09"]Does it play DVD's in 480p or "i"?m3Boarder32

It can play them in 480p,  the 360 upscales to 1080p tho

since when does the 360 upscale dvd's to 1080. mine only plays them at 480p still. maybe i missed an update or something.

i'm new to pc gaming and i was just wondering if clearing up background tasks really matters since that my new computer has 2gb pc2-4200 ddr2 sdram memory, and about 900mb is being used without any programs open. is that much memory supposed to be taken up or does it have to do with vista? if not, what should i close, cause i have no idea what to and not to close? thanks for any of your help.

Looking up the specs Processor Intel Viiv Technology with an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6400; 2.13GHz Operating system Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium Memory 2048GB PC2-4200 DDR2 SDRAM memory Graphics card NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT with 256MB video memory, TV out and Dual DVI-I Capabilities Hard drive 500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive Look like a pretty good gaming machine, the 7600gt is a decent card and it will run WoW and BF2142 just fine. Core 2 Duo will help too. Can't find out the PSU but it's probably a generic ~400watt one which can mean trouble in some cases. You should be able to upgrade later but graphics cards are going to use more juice so you might have to just pop in another psu from antec.nutcrackr

is it hard to replace the psu? can i do it myself or should i take it to a specialist?
