ncoday Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I was at Bestbuy looking at Dyson vacs and low and behold, they had an xBox360 on display! The graphics were very sweet. This is the Bestbuy in Springfeld, OR if anyone cares. Did not see if there were any playable demos though, needed to run some errands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said the same but I don't know if it was the same. Was it the one near the Super Target or whatever and that furniture store? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did overhear confirmation that they didn't hook up the x360 w/ the HD cables...so i'm not entirely sure if i saw the x360 at its best. And another thing w/ the controller...I was a fan of the original Duke controller of the Xbox, and detested the Controller-S. But the x360 controller just contours so well to my hand that I can safely say that it's the best controller I've ever used in my life :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewzzin Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I saw one in EB Games last week sometime. It was nice...obviously better than any console I've seen yet, but I wasn't as impressed as I thought I'd be. The graphics on models up close was amazing, but things off in the distance looked like it needed some good old AA. Was very choppy looking. Overall it looks like its gonna be pretty nice...but I'm not spending my money on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magik Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 The texture quality was certainly not out of this world. I would say like a fairly high end PC game. 586756134[/snapback] That's because EA got lazy with COD2 for Xbox 360, it wasn't made from the ground up and it was minimally optimized for Xbox 360. Basically, it's just a port directly from the PC version of the game so don't expect next-gen calibur graphics from that title, smooth framerates though? Heck yes!
