I bought a VGA cable in preparation for the phone people sending me my 360 and it says supports all the res for gaming, and only 480 for DVDs... this is an official VGA cable as well. I thought that sounded a bit odd, but.. that's what it says.

Hmm, I wonder where I got that information from then? I've not actually tried any DVD's on the 360, no point as I've got an upscaling Pioneer DVD player connected to the DVI port on my TV.

My mad brother bought one from Argos last week.
279 quid and he got console,20gb HD, wireless controller, wired controler, cables/leads, PSE6, Madcatz wheel and pedal set and a stand.
Outstanding deal if you ask me and the games look and play great.
I think at that price it is definetly time to buy a 360 if you have the Dough.

Now Gears of War is out I'd love to own a 360

I almost got a 360 this weekend

But I forgot it

MB was going to lend me his but I forgot to grab it :/

How can you forget something so crucial?

Desmo · 13-11-2006, 11:50

Meh, it's only out this week over here...kinda sucks.

poo

Was just reading a review of it and apparently it delivers more than initially thought. This was the game that made me want a 360, originally I was waiting for the PS3 and RE5 but I saw a demo of gears and thought it looked awesome.
