From all I can tell, all the good 360 games are on PC as well, and some of the PC versions of those games have better graphics than their 360 counterparts.

this is because 1) xbox is a part of microsoft aka a computer and 2) a computer has a bigger hard drive thus more power ultimately leading to better grphfx!

I fail to see how that makes a difference to the graphics. It does make a difference as to how much data is packed within the hard drive, obviously, but it "gives more power"?
yes because in order to make the fx to look better they have to use more data which in turn uses hardrive space which is why the fx on a pc looks better than on a consloe.

Yep, that's what I said. You said it gives more power, which in turns gives better graphics.

compare that to the most recent pc and the 360 will look like a NES next to a ps2

Yes, I mean in terms of hard drive "power". Not the other specs.
oh... hmmmm...... here's an example: if a car has 150 hp and a mortor cycle has 200 which on has te most power? another one if the 360's hard drive pops out 500mil polygons a min and a pc lets out 1bil a min which one will ahve the most power?

I'm so confused, I was talking about you saying the hard drive is directly proportionate to the quality of the graphics, which is not completely right.
I like my Xbox but at the moment the 360 has only ONE good game for it...There selection really sucks. If you plan on buying a new system avoid the hype and look good and hard at the selection of games and those comming soon because all of the cool features in the world don't help if you have nothing to play.
I dont like consoles because, well, they're consoles, which means they're 'dumb', and i mean that in as in the technical term 'dumb'. It's simply such a limited system, games are only a small part of the real fun, and if you increase the functionality of a console, well, that just makes it a cheapo version of a PC.
Ofcourse, I enjoy Painting on the computer and programming simple stuff to be much more entertaining than playing games, which explains my point of view :P

Then I guess it is a good thing that the 360 exceeds the graphical limits of all TVs and HDTVs. All the added power on a PS3 will really add is decreased loading times.
Take that back, since Sony has approved root kit usage on titles for online security as well as to reinforce copyright all that extra power may mean you have to buy games before you try them, unlike being able to rent them on the 360.
Originally posted by royevans no that is right because fx need space aka harddrive and the more space the better the fx!
uh .. if you by fx mean ... graphics ... then ... lol you = stupid ^-^ now go read some about computers and come back ... space isnt required for ANYTHING .. i have a ps2 no .. freaking ... harddrive .. BUT ! memory is important memory on the gfxcard + on the motherboard is very important but, the size isnt the most important .. its SPEED ! a motercycle has better accelaration and speed then a car ... with the same horsepower why ?. Course it only focuses on one thing ! speed .. A car can take passengers (well a bike can aswell but lets leave that) so a fully loaded car with 5 people in ( a pc with windows xp running + firewall + antivirus + other stuff + game) seee where im going. A bike with a passenger on ( xbox 360 + Game ) oh and another passenger ( xbox 360+ game + music) So basicly the xbox doesnt need to be as powerfull to be as fast as the car ^-^ Also the xbox 360 uses a different technology then the pc -_- so plz i have the 360 it rox. is it better then my pc ? nope why ... becourse i can use my pc for alot of stuff other then gaming .. Is my pc fun with friends over ? not really ... is the xbox 360 YES
Now see the xbox 360 or consolles generally is for 1 thing and 1 thing only FUN. you dont surf the net for info on it (yet hehe) you watch movies with your friends (or alone :P) play games. Talk with people over the net (which ofc is easier on the pc with stuff like ventrilo )
so basicly xbox 360 is for one thing pc is for another you cant compare em... and all this ps3 vs 360 shut up already lol buy one of each .. and if you cant afford one go with the kind of games you like generally xbox = action and driving, ps = rpgs and shoot em up games, fighting games etc now i like both so .. im getting one of each problem solved eh
now ill shut up and plz .. harddrive = thingy to put games on so they load faster .. since it would be troublesome with 2000+ cd (trust me the amistrad with tapes was hell lol) (and yes you can have a pc without a harddisk .. yes you can ... i said yes ... -_- linux ... now sho sho

Originally posted by royevans no that is right because fx need space aka harddrive and the more space the better the fx!
Actually you're wrong. more harddrive space doesn't mean anything. in fact the X360 and PS3 don't even need to put anything on the harddrive. The only reason they will is because harddrives are faster to access then optical disk. like to access a bit on a harddrive would take 8 micro seconds Disks will take 8 milli seconds... So they temporary place large things on the harddrive so that the game will be smoother, shorter load times etc etc.. The real thing that would have a direct effect on graphics power is the size of the RAM.. while this still doesn't directly effect graphics.... There is still a relation because if you have 64Mbs RAM then there is no way you're gonna be able to display a 70Mb picture on screen all at once.

I fail to see how that makes a difference to the graphics. It does make a difference as to how much data is packed within the hard drive, obviously, but it "gives more power"?
