Gameplay wise, most definitely YES. Graphics wise, obviously not. Give me Halo CE live enabled and I'd take that over H2 or H3 without a second thought. Gameplay is more important to me than graphics.

You obviously haven't played halo 3 yet then man... 

[QUOTE="Mancow_wrestler"]Halo 3 step aside? I've been playing the heck out of the halo 3 beta, and its easily the best next gen game I've played thus far...it blows halo 1 and 2 combined out of the water in regards to gameplay, and the darn thing's just in beta. Its the most fun I've had in a LONG time....Warhawk doesnt even look like it'll come close man.BrutonNYC

Be real dude. Gears owns Halo easily! Then again Gears Owns any game out now period

Was that sarcasm? If not...woah. I loved Gears man, and the single player was really fun, but multiplayer was really kinda sad after a while.  

I wasnt impressed with the videos and all that of halo 3, until I played the beta. I cant put this darn thing down! The game looks awesome and they've REALLY made it one of the most fun games on the 360! I can tell that they've spent a ton of time on the gameplay.

Halo3 = THE GAME of 2007... 

Ive been lucky enough to get in the beta for halo 3, and I can honestly say you're absolutely wrong on every subject TC. Graphically its a great game, the videos and pictures simply don't do the game justice. And guess what? They're not even the final game's graphics, so they'll get even better. 

Gameplay is just jaw dropping. Words cannot describe how much better halo 3 is over the crap that we call halo 2. 

I could spend hours writing up a much more detailed post on why halo 3 will be THE game to buy this year, but I'll just say that the game is amazing, and you shouldn't comment on something you haven't played yet. 

This game alone makes me want a PS3. Can't wait to play this one. JDW_games

The game looks amazing, but I want to see more ingame action videos, more things about gameplay and story before I start to fall in love. Plus, its on the ps3 only right? Nevermind I'll pass hehe

[QUOTE="pundog"]Like I said in another thread, rechargable AA's and a USB wireless adaptor save you $60. Of couse by using your logic I would have to add about $800 because my 360 actually has games worth buying.Kook18

You didnt read the last part.. Im actually being fair and not including the "luxury" items such as the HD-DVD drive, Wireless headset, games etc.. Just the neccessities that you need for gaming

Ok so lets say your right.. I save $60.00 great, so $630 minus $60 still leaves me with a grand total of.. $570.00, so for $30.00 more, a console such as the PS3 offers free online gaming, built in blu-ray, camera card readers and a HDD twice the size again all this using your numbers of the 360 being $60.00 it would be only $30.00 more for the PS3 with all those features and then some

You mean ps3 GAME right? Not GAMES :P 

I was doing some calculatin and wow, stuff really does add up.. Lets take a look.. Below are items listed that I actually have purchased for my 360.

360 console since launch-$400.00

Battery Charge Pack-$30.00

2 years of Xbox live-$100.00 (Owned system since launch)

Wireless adapter-$100.00

So grand total.. $630.00 for the Neccesities of gaming. Now you might say "but MS doesnt force these items on you" Well I beg to differ.. First off you have the $30.00 battery charge pack. Hmm either $30.00 for battery charge pack or having to keep buying batteries over and over again.. I think ill go with the battery charge pack. Next up is the wireless adapter, again another item MS doesnt force you to buy BUT when you Live in a 2 story house, what other choice do I have?! Then ofcourse the Xbox live subscription, online gaming is all I do so ofcourse thats also a gaming neccesity.

So there you have it.. after one year the grand total for my 360 that ive spent thus far is $630.00 for my 360 and OUCH, to add insult to injury that price doesnt even include a built in HD-DVD drive and also a HDD thats 40 GBs smaller than my PS3 HDD.

Again I wont even include the price of the HD-DVD drive, Wireless headset and games etc I bought.. Im only including the price of the Neccessary items.. The other items such as HD-DVD drive and headset are luxuries.. So basically I spent $630.00 on just the NECCESSARY 360 items.

Luckily its all about choice. Things you add to your 360 are optional. You can hate me for saying that, but its true. I know some gamers who bought the core *bless their soul lol* and a memory card. They just wanted to play the games with their bare system...and they can play the games. Now they're missing out online and in other areas, but it didnt cost them an arm and a leg.

Now if you're like me, you bought the system, then slowly over time added the wireless play and charge charger, xbox live, and other things. I guess its all about buying things all upfront or over time.  

I just played the demo and it does have a problem with jaggies. The graphics are lacking in wow factor. Playing with the super cars makes things look better for some reason. The track looks OK but since its based on a real life track its kind of boring looking. In replays you can see a bunch of people standing around on the hill and the sky looks nice but the reflection on the car looks wrong. It flows along smooth then comes to a screeching halt and then starts again on the surface of the vehicle. I don't know if I'm going to buy it. I could feel all the hours I put into the first Forza, the various GT games, and the PGR series come barreling back into my memory and I let out a huge yawn.JiveT

Now Im not trying to sound like a fanboy and defend Forza 2 man, but Jaggies? This game has just about none... And the game blows PGR3 and GT:HD out of the water when you consider the 60fps, physics, and everything else. I mean the 60fps itself made my jaw drop. 

 I guess that's just my opinion though...as far as jaggies go, there are none though.
