Xbox or Xbox 360?

Better damn well be the latter

oh god! Just been watching Gamespot's review of Gears and want a 360 with gears even more now

petemc · 14-11-2006, 14:26

The best thing about Gears, imho, is that it has delivered. A year ago when PGR3, Kameo, Perfect Dark etc came out people were like "meh where's the next gen?" There were screenies of Gears floating around, and videos that people just didn't believe. Lots of people doubted that we'd see that level of gfx from the 360 and yet on Friday we will. I've watched the latest trailer a few times and its just insane how detailed everything looks. I bought a new vga cable just so I can get it in HD on my 19'' monitor. The trailer looks fantastic. The only problem I have is that my 5.1 system is downstairs on the 28'' *NON* hdtv and my monitor is upstairs. So do I take HD over 5.1? I'm tempted to go with the 28'' tv and 5.1 over HD as the sound will make the game more atmospheric and immersive.

Pete have you watched the gamespot review? if not watch it now

petemc · 14-11-2006, 15:14

That chainsaw looks too damn cool. I think I'll go for 5.1 for single player than move it back upstairs for HD.

any one know the best and cheapest place to get a 360 from?

My son's selling his PS2 and has saved his pocket money up.

I'd go for Amazon mate, they have deals where you can buy a 360 and top game such as gears for around £300 notes. That is if you want the premium package.
