Convince me to buy a 360.

Buy a 360... or Mr. Gates' children will not be having turkey for Xmas!

:cry:

A few other games played in widescreen... I remember Ninja Gaiden and Soul Calibur played in all 720p glory, which was amazing back when they were released

But I think it's a bit lame they formatted their XBox Orginals as 4:3, even though I understand that putting up HD downloads of games would've made them monstruously huge!

Halo 3 + CoD 4 + Mass Effect + Assassins Creed =

++++++++ XBox 360 sales =

you at Xmas ---> :(

Q.E.D.

I hope we're not interrupting you little chat guys now are we?

I'd say buy it if you have:

1) An Xbox 360 elite with HDMI

2) HDDVDs to play (or a place to rent)

3) a not-so-good DVD player at the moment

HDDVD and Bluray players are real investments right now because of the high price of HDTV and HDDVD and correct cables to get 1080p or 1080i... so unless you're really eager to switch to high def movies at home I'd say wait a year for the price to drop and your wallet to get fatter and then you'll get your moneys worth...

Only difference you'd get right now without HDDVD to play or XBox 360 Elite for the 1080p is a neat gagdet to barely beats a regular DVD player thats able to upscale your picture to 1080i

I own one so it doesnt seem I'm talking off the top of my head... hope that helps!

Fact is that it is a bit of a ripoff to pay 10+ something dollars for an original Xbox game that doesnt play in HD or over XBL...

But hey I get to trade to beer six-pack for a game that lets me put down Mass Effect, and actually invite a breathing human friend over and play Halo like we did back in high school...

And thats worth my extra 7 dollars I guess!

Answer to you question is you've got to access your router settings to set your NAT type to Open, which is the mode best for Halo 3 to operate in...

As for specific instructions I can't really tell since I dont know your router model... but try opening a web page and typing http://192.168.1.1 and typing ONLY ''admin'' in the password box on the prompt screen... it works for pretty much all Linksys routers

Good night and good luck mate
