In terms of Oblivion, a computer with an x1800xt or thereabouts will about equal the graphics of the 360 up to a certgain resolution, like 10x7 or 12x10. Assuming a processor to match like an good a64, x2, or the conroes coming out. Plus 1 or 2 gigs of RAM. That kind of system will be similar to a 360.
It's hard to make a direct comparison, but that will give you a rough idea.

Getbush is close enough, I can't think of a better comparison as of now.
But still, the two systems run mostly different software. Buy 360 to play quality titles like Top Spin 2 or Table Tennis. ^-^

a rig like that wouldn't cost 1500. . . well maybe it would. but let's not get into the computer vs. console thing !

Well you could get the premiums for ike 306$ shipped from overstock. might be over though but was a awsome deal.
Exactly. And even if you DID have an HD set, I wouldn't count that as part of an XBox 360 purchase. You do more with an HD set than play with an XBox.
QFT. everyone has a TV. anyone who compares a pc to an xbox 360 and says that the 360 has to come with an hdtv needs some brains. hell, a pc can be displayed from a tv too.
If the PC only has to match 640x480 resolution it needs a lot less power than for 10x7 or 1280x1024.
But these comparisons are silly.
Get a job and buy both
. I have the HDTV and the nice PC, next will probably be a PS3 since there aren't any Xbox360-only games I want to play.Originally posted by: DaveSimmons

Thats why i use a 2007wfp for my Xbox360 and PC.
A low end x2 3800+ processor.
Azalia hi def audio.
In terms of graphics...it depends, the xbox 360 is really weak in some ways, and strong in others. Right now most of its games indicate performance of around an x800pro, but theoretically it can have performance about equal to an x1800xt.
So that's what, like $600 to $700 (once you add in case, power supply, memory, etc) to build a comp that can equal the xbox 360?
Then you don't need a PC that can equal the xbox 360, a 6600 (not gt) could likely match its graphics at 640x480.

Yea see thats my whole point. I'm sitting here watching DirecTV and guess what is on HDTV:
tonight: cedric the entertainer. house, acording to jim, Making a music star, more house, law and order
tommarow night: more making a music star, george lopez, criminal minds, freddie, CSI, law and order.
and it continues like that.
a LOT of people are buying these HDTV's when they are more or less useless. So in my book having an HDTV would force one to give up on TIVO and the only benefit would be marginal televission. Not worth my time or money.
Thus whenever I see a thread like this I try to point out the rationalizations people are making with these 360s over picture quality and HD.
I cannot believe people are still so narrow-minded. EVERY PC MONITOR OUT THERE CAN BE USED WITH THE 360. There is NO need to add the price of an HDTV. Also, just because the components are somewhat equal means nothing. The Xbox360 is still a dedicated gaming machine. Its GPU will be doing fine for quite a while. Halo 2 was prettier than Halo, was it not? And could a Geforce3 ever render Halo 2's graphics? Don't give me the 480i thing either because you could play it in HD resolution.
And of course you've played both versions?
People still don't get why other people buy consoles. The PS2 wasn't the most successful because of its graphics obviously. It was about the software, most of which never touched a PC.
it has nothing to do with HDTV other than a computer and a console are for two different things and comparing them at a price point is completely silly.
