i don' t think there was that much of a difference but i still think there has been a major upgrade in the testures i compared by these picks and playing on my 360 and it is better looking but not by that huge of a majorine. But to say the vista version looks similiar to the original would be a lie so yes the game looks better but no i dont need a new computer yet and im not willing to pay another 50 cnd for the exact same game sorry micro but i have already preordered halo 3 legendary edition. All i can say is go micro go
