Meh.
/I kid, looks cool. But, Of course I'm not buying it because then I need the xbox 360 compatible forcefeedback wheel and it's still going to be played on my crummy 27" SDTV.

I like how they cut away before the cars were about to crash into oncoming cars or a guard rail. I WANT TO SEE THE CRASH PHYSICS!
That being said, it doesn't look that impressive. Also notice the awkward jerky steering movements at low speed and around turns. A problem that traces back to the archaic design and function of the controller. PLEASE SOMEBODY DESIGN A BETTER CONTROLLER!

Can I surf the internet on it like my PC? Can I hook it up to my 21 in Monitor like my PC? Can I use a mouse and keyboard like my PC? Can I run my Klipsch speakers off it like my PC? Can I run my apps on it like my PC? If the answer is "no" to anyone of these questions, It's not going to replace my PC.

edit: just watched video, and the only thing that impressed me were the reflections on the body of the car. other than that, if anyone aside from EA decided to make a big name racing game, I think current hardware could blow that game away.
amen!
despite graphical prowess, if any, consoles lack much ability that pc's have.
Can your PC play the system's exclusive games? Do you frequently have a bunch of friends sitting in the living room playing with the same pc at once? Is everyone yelling and screaming about how the system is going to replace the pc?
If not, stfu, its a different piece of hardware.

When did I say xbox has all the games the pc does? They each have their games, they do their thing, wtf are you even coming into an xbox 360 thread.
No reason a PC can't do this, if multiplayer games were developed for it.
Ah, the venerable "stfu". Thanks, if not for this I might have thought you older than 14 and wasted even more breath on a response.
Not everyone, but far too many fanbois are certainly saying this. Oh, and a big "stfu" back at ya. Prick.
30+ posts in this thread before you replied and I see no mention of pc replacement anywhere, only comments on the system's capabilities.
I own a ps2, xbox, and a pretty pc, I love my pc, but I have all three because they can all provide me with some sense of entertainment that the other two cannot. The totally different pieces of hardware co-exist in a way you don't seem to be able to enjoy
My comments were not based on discussions within this specific thread. They were based on widely known comments on other threads on the same subject. There is no denying the some are saying this will replace the PC as we know it today. I'm just saying no it wont.
The only reason it's this way in the first place is because most people bend over when $ony & M$ tell them to.
Kid_01: "But I already have a PC!"
M$ & $ony: "Shut up and buy more (non-upgradeable ones at that) you stupid little idiot, we have payments to make on our 3rd Ferarris and 5th beachfront mansions.
Kid_01: (glazed look in eyes) "Duh, yes master"
It's disgusting. The only arguments i hear are incorrect ones; that a gaming PC costs $3k+ (not true whatsoever) and that a $300-$500 video card upgrade is required yearly (even less true). It's amazing how weak willed and easily led most people are.

i think im interested in buying a xbox 360 soley because of the specs and anticipation of the next halo game or any other good fps of that sort...
Lets do the math then for a good pc.
250 3000+ A64 + motherboard
250 Radeon X800 or 6800gt
100 2 x 512 pc3200
80_ 160+gb hd
25_ 16x dvd rom
250 19-21" crt or 17-19" lcd
40+ mouse and keyboard
100 chassis + power supply (decent, none of that 50 bucks for case and ps for the power hungry components.
Thats about 1100 for a pretty good pc that'll play basically anything thrown at it now.
Compare that to a 300-400 system to play their own games. 450 for say an extra controller and memory card.
Thats about half price. Now, the system will last me maybe 2 years of play, as that pc probably will.. See? The system is still twice as expensive as the system, albiet more capable, with internet, office application capabilities, but thats what it was designed for.
Its not just what MS and Sony plans, its been this way for a damn long time. Remember when 400mhz pc's cost us a good 2 grand while a nintendo or snes also cost a couple hundred?
This is kind of the same as comparing a live-in nanny with daycare service.
The live-in will cost a good what, 2k in monthly salary, depending on who/what service you get it from, while a daycare service will cost from 300-1.5k a month.
They both kinda do the same thing, but one costs more, but also does a lot more.
But, theres still market for both.
