And the same goes for me with the controller. The xbox one was so hard to use at a mates place I just gave up and watched movies. The 360 is a little bit better but it should be worth it for all the games I want.

As you can on the PS3 (which is probably the only reason you can on the 360), but how many console games will be designed with a keyboard & mouse in mind? How many games will penalise keyboard/mouse users, or will simply not support keyboard & mouse?

The 360 controller is better than the Xbox controller, and more comfortable than playstation controllers.


In terms of raw power, the PS3 & 360 look fairly similar, but Microsoft is more developer friendly than Sony, so the Xbox 360 will probably have more polished games.

511305 2007-01-02 22:05:00 I read somwhere that the 360 has three 3.2ghz processors in it is this correct or is it a typo, . Hitech (9024)
511306 2007-01-03 04:49:00 Specifically, the Xbox 360 processor is made of three PowerPC cores, each one running at a 3.2 Ghz clock speed


Its true.

PS3 has 7 processors....just no one knows WHAT to do with them :D

Oh btw got my 360 today and enjoying a good game of Gears of War on my lcd monitor :thumbs: The graphics are awesome even on my tv but lcd is just better (pretty much a cheap alternative to hdtv).

My monitor has DVI and VGA. I use the VGA for the 360 and DVI for PC. There is currently no DVI extension from Microsoft yet.

511311 2007-01-03 07:08:00 'tis a very good game, beautiful... online gameplay is pretty wicked too :D Chilling_Silence (9)
511312 2007-01-03 09:34:00 Online gameplay rocks - especially with the wireless headset on games like Call of Duty 2, and PGR3.

Microsoft also seems to have learnt from the xbox1, there are so many games being released on the 360, its real good - i think its going to hard for sony/wii to catch up quickly in this department.

511313 2007-01-03 15:41:00 But there's nothing super revolutionary about them?

Like the wii is cool coz the interactivity is a totally different level than anything else Ive ever played before. While I love the 360 arcade, and the games are beautiful.. Id trade it all to play with the wii with its slightly simpler (but still pretty) graphics, but the immense feeling of the gameplay / interactivity! Simply because Im moving more than just my thumb / fingers :D
