Hero-of-Time Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 thinking about gettin a 360 this year as it finally has some good games coming out for it, just wondering how it looks on a standard tv. whats everyones experiences with 360 non hd? Thats one of the reasons I didnt get a 360 at launch because everyone said it looked rubbish on a normal tv. When GRAW came out I couldnt resist so I snapped one up. To my suprise the graphics still look amazing on a normal tv set so dont let that put you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKOB Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 thanks, now i might be mr patient and wait for a price drop but i cant see that happening till 2007 i usually get all formats eventually its just that i really want the improved xbox live and the games are more to my taste then the generally dull games that were shown at e3 for ps3. just wish square would release FF XIII multiformat-they are the reason i got a ps2 in the first place admittedly it was about 3 year after launch but still lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Or just before the PS3 comes out most likely, so people buy it then, not realising the PS3 is about to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnold Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 was gonig to make a thread about it, but I thoght I'd post here it's better, Ok I bought my 360 on Sunday, loving it, only got Stubbs, Rumble roses and PD0 but I like it, But there is one problem i'm having, dunno if anyone else has got it beforeo r not, Connecting to Live, I've popped the ethernet able into my modem and the other end into the 360, went to the conenct to live thn on the adshboard and it found the modem but not the Ip, so i manually put the info in there and it recognized it, then the DNS check failed so i did the ipconfig/all ion my PC to get the DNS info but it still fails with that in, was wondering if anyone had any tips or anything to help out?

Chuck Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 if your switching between ur pc and xbox for the internet, your need to wait for the modem to switch when u turn it off. when i turn mine back on after 5 minutes, my telewest modem, should blink green lights and then they should go solid green, which means it should work but, some times it doesnt and you have to try it a couple of times.

Mr. Bananagrabber Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I gots a question about Halo 2. Using my 360, can I play with people playing it on the original Xbox? Or do you all play it on the 360 anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can play it cross platform, any of the b/c games you play on the 360 can be played against people playing on Xboxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jordan Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 but u cant play them on vga i have recently found out :| Yes you can, you can do 90% of things on old XBOX games on the VGA cable. Infact the only thing i can't do so far was download content off Ninja Gaiden Master Ninja Tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 well i cant play halo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meik Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 well i cant play halo 2The update thing for Halo 2 doesn't work over VGA for some reason, you just need to plug in your composite/component cables whilst it updates. Once that's done you can switch back and play normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeldaFreak Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Developers have said they are similiar 360 and ps3 now, but later on 360 they carn't do anymore especially as the disk size is low then the PS3 will be more powerful and G4 (games channel in US) have compared the technical specs and have said that the cell has some form of GPU in there already meaning that its the physics element developers want which the 360 carn't do. For crist sakes the guys who did Full Auto have said PS3 has better graphics better options than the 360 architecture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeldaFreak Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 You suck for realizing that most of these look like the games coming out for 360 this winter and these are just the games coming for the platform in Q4 06and Q1 07. One question why do you think Square-enix are publishing but not developing new content for the 360? FFXI btw is very old content which has been on pcs for nearly 3 years, so it doesn't count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
