all i know though is that if i were to get matched up with any xbox player while im on my pc, there really wouldnt be a competition and id probably find myself toying with em :D

ah ok sanj i still find my 19 inch setup very nice, the colors are beautiful and everything looks crisp i guess its the cheaper alternative to hd, cuz hdtvs can run up to like 2-4 thousand for a frickn 46 incher

2700 sounds a bit pricey but its a good computer shoulda went with intel core 2 duos instead of the amd processor

@ad86 well it should run the game at maxxed settings just out of curiousity do you have a list of the parts you bought and how much did u pay?

@homebrew actually your wrong about the hdtv, you can get a nice lcd 20 inch monitor for about $180 which can play games at 1280x1024 which i believe is equivalent to 1080p or wtver. You do have to buy a vga cable for the xbox which can set you about 40 bucks buti got mine from ebay for $14 :D The picture quality on my NEC 19 inch is amazing its simply hdtv at a smaller and more affordable price... one thing that bugs me about the xbox is that you can use the gamepad on pcs but you cant use keyboard and mouses for games on the xbox, I mean some games even allow xbox live players to play against pc players on the same game WTF i cant imagine how bad the xbox players would get wrecked when up against the more precise mouse IF your gonna let people play online together on diff platforms atleast allow an equal game. And lets get real the 360 is last years good quality computer for an affordable price so why not treat it like a computer and allow users to use the keyboard and mouse setup ! When playing fps on my xbox i just feel like im downgrading myself from the pc's way easier and precise aiming tool
