Got to play with an X-Box this weekend...

[Electric Amish]

My friend that works at MS brought one home.

I didn't actually play with it. I'm not a big console guy, but the rest of them seemed to enjoy it. Picture looks really, really nice on his 50" bigscreen.

They played Amped, some football game, and something else. They've been plaing HALO at work and it is supposedly jaw-dropping!

That's an amazing experience that they must have endured that weekend! There are many people around the United States right now who are dying to try out Amped, NFL Fever, and HALO!

There are many who are flocking to Toy's R Us and Target just to catch a play at the demo ODDWORLD. Not many are really satisfied w/ it... saying how the graphics are "Basic run of the mill" PS2. I personally do not think that Oddworld is a great representation of the XBOX's "power". I believe that Dead Or Alive 3 is suppose to display the true rawness. Didn't it win TGS Honors?

Glad your buddies had fun though! I too am looking forward to buying my dad an XBOX - he seems to really love gaming

Sounds like you had fun!

Seriously, though, that set-up your friend has sounds SWEEEEEET!

I played with one at Babbage's this weekend. It's nice but my computer seems to play games pretty equally with it. I have no compelling reason to buy one right now.

If anyone in the greater Austin, TX area wants to bring an X-box to my house for a DEMO.... I have a 106" 16:9 widescreen projection system you're welcome to hook it up to!!

It has progressive scan and VGA input too!!... and the room is equipped with DD/DTS 5.1

So... anyone got an Xbox?

i love those projectors... a friend of mine had synced dual projectors for better color or something.

How were the graphics for Amped? Anything spectacular this side of the playstation 2?
