Thinking of upgrading. The thing is that I don't really play all that often. So is the upgrade in graphics THAT much better to where it's worth it for an occasional gamer (mostly Madden, Tiger Woods, etc..). I'm thinking 360 just because I don't want to spend $600 for a PS3 and I've heard there isn't a huge difference in the two anyway. T or F?

there isnt a huge difference, if anything, 360 games look better vs. their ps3 counterparts

getting a 360 is the way to go this year...just read through the xbox 360 games thread

in terms of "upgrading", its definitely a HUGE difference in graphics if you have an hdtv. as far as just on a normal tv, there is a graphical difference but i have never played that way so i dont have an opinion on it.

get a 360

when i first got my 360 all i have was a normal flat screen tv, and it was a huge difference between it and the xbox on a regular tv screen.

I actually have 65 inch HDTV so you're saying it's worth it?

with a 65in HDTV, you definitely need a 360. But be warned, Madden absolutely blows on 360

Maybe Madden '08 will be the shit.. I would probably just wait until that is released to purchase the football game anyway. Either that or try to find a cheap used one somewhere.

I'm waiting on a price drop or a decent expansion to the backwards compatibility list. Until then I'm fine with my x-box. If you have to have Tiger Woods and Madden don't forget that they come out on the PC as well, and you can connect a 360 controller to a PC.

I don't plan on buying many more games. I just want to keep my existing library playable. If my xbox gives out I'd like to be able to continue to play those games. Honestly dude.

I use to be that way. There are enough games out now that after a playing a few 360 games you wont worry about playing any regular xbox games.

do you mean KOTOR 3? (Knights of the Old Republic) or is KOTR 3 another game entirely?
