LOL, the 360 looks so tiny in your setup.

You guys have some very nice setups! Almost makes me want to wait until I get my HDTV before I invest in a 360.

There are two speakers behind the xmas trees...decorator decided to block them :( Using the PGR3 theme. One of the best looking out of the bunch imo. Anyways components are:

Sony 65" XBR HDTV (720p / 1080i)

Denon AVR-3805

Samsung HD841 DVD Player

5.1 Channel In-wall Surround Speakers

Logitech Harmony 676 Remote

and all my gaming systems (older ones are on the left)

Sweet setups out there, keep posting guys.

Here is proper way to set up an xbox, connect XBOX to TV but here is the trick with power supply:

put outside in sub zero temperatures

or

stick into refrigerator

[esco]

or just don't put it on carpet / cramped behind tv in a mess of wires

heres mine...

yes i keep the 360 power supply and so far no heat problems even after 5 hours of non stop playing.

nothing beats Models on HDTV hmmmm...

and the video of pgr3 http://savefile.com/files/6349385 eh... bad cam quality

[Brandon Live Veteran]

I'll have to check that, but I know that mine is different from threedaysdwn. Mine has a larger bottom area (where the speaker is) and in general seems larger. Possibly because if I remember right, I got it earlier this year... I think the one he has is a newer model.

*goes to check model*

Okay so this helps... The back of the TV says: Feb 2004 Model: HLN617W

Mine is an HL-R6167W - Same size, same resolution, but a newer DLP chip and a few other minor tweaks.

what is your job?

I'm a software engineer (test architect). I don't make that much really (ie. not 6 figures... not yet anyway) but I'm also a single 21-year-old. Not a lot of expenses :) And I got the TV on a weekend when Fry's and Best Buy were having a price war. I was planning to get the 50" model but the 61" ended up being cheaper!

I doubt it. But I don't know what you do :p Where is Bungieland? :)

I hope your 360 doesn't over heat. I don't think it's a good idea to have it crammed into the bottom of that tv stand.

No problems at all with mine. And I've had some long sessions of Kameo/GW/COD2. It has room around it down there, I'm not really worried. It doesn't get nearly as hot as my receiver (big black box to the right of it). Apparently what most of what people think is "fan noise" on the 360 is actually the disc drive.

[tHa_vIlLaMaN]

You guys have some insane setups... bejebus :|

Shock and awe-some :D

[GaMeDtX]

Wow the E3 2005 faceplate... :blink:

[Aids]

Yeah, too bad esco paid $150 for it :\

Not worth it Erik, not worth it.. (IMO).

Once I snag my digital camera, I'll bring out my beauty setup.

so worth it zack, so worth it

[GaMeDtX]

so worth it zack, so worth it

Dont get me wrong, it looks so sweet.

If I was loaded and had money to my neck then, yeah it would be so worth it..

But then again, $150 for a peice of plastic... with the only thing different is a little paint? Ahhh.... :no:

And esco, by the looks of it, 4 contollers, all the games... yeah your loaded...

[Toekiller]

Bits are...

Sony HS10 HD PJ ( A Sanyo Z4 on paper would murder my pj and costs about ?1150 - 9ft screen anyone?;)) )

DSPA1 amp.

B&W Speakers all round.

Hey, some of you are so lucky with your massive HD displays :( *is so jealous*

Basically, Ive got my 360 connected to my PC monitor via the VGA Cable, Im going to be getting a Samsung Widescreen HD LCD Display this christmas and it has a lot of inputs, including DVI, VGA, Component and Scart. I have both the VGA Cable and the component HD-AV cable that came with the 360 (Prem. Pack). Which cable do you recommend I use with my setup for the best quality?

The LCD TV I'm going to be getting is the Samsung SM730MW 17" Widescreen LCD TV/Monitor

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/in...oduct_uid=81476

The native resolution is 1280x768, that is 720p isnt it?

Anyways, whatever advice you guys have that be great, I'll post a pic of my 360 setup once I got this all sorted :)

Thanks! :)

[Post-It Note]

I'm playing on my MASSIVE 10 year old 32" Sony TV. Boy how fun it is to play in 480i!

[GaMeDtX]
