Sharp.

I hope it will be a GTA/NFSU hybrid. That would truly be awesome. Steal cars, steal parts, put them together and race them for cash. All the while, you aren't 'attached' to your car as in NFSU, you have the free-roaming ability as with GTA, so not everything is race-related.

Will XBOX 360 include support for non-TV displays, like, will it have D-sub or DVI output for use on higher-res computer monitors? Going through a TV-tuner really deteriorates quality.

From what I hear, the Xbox 360 will be sporting new technology that will make all that happen, tech that we don't have on our PC's, yet. Linky

Of course, if you check out the rest of that site, you'll see that soon a PhysX card will come out for computers, and many developers are already using it, including Epic with the next unreal3 engine.

Yeah, I read about that PhysX card on Anand's frontpage; aw, just more stuff to spend money on.

If it can do what it claims to do, and it is supported in games I want to play, I will gladly buy into the 1st gen.

Those are only 8x6 shots. 1080p is a hell of a lot sharper than that.

Either way, I can't wait to see some real production software shown on the Xbox360. :D

I will probably get one in two years, when I get a new system (hopefully). I actually pretty happy that my now 1.5 year old system can still run everything smoothly.

8x6 is better than standard TV resolution... and the lack of jaggies tells me AA niceness

I'm only sitting on about 5 months old. I only probably need to upgrade to 2GB of RAM and a physX card to keep up in the next year. Maybe a new video card in 2 years. I don't think CPU requirements will be going up much, especially with PPU's hitting the scene now.

Those arn't unmodified ingame screenshots. And if they are, I'll gladly eat my words.
