Gah. Typical. I'd like to see some proof of "way better gfx". A maxed out PC and a 360 seem to be about, if not almost equal in terms of graphics.

A maxed out PC is better than the 360 in terms of graphics (and performance). On a default install they are very close, but there are number of mods and configurable settings in the oblivion.ini file that takes the graphics experience beyond what the Xbox is capable of. Add to that the game runs at a higher resolution and you have a richer graphics experience.

Of course this comes at a price, but since you are comparing it to a maxed out PC then the above is true. Xbox is still nice but, just the PC is nicer looking on the right hardware with the right settings.

Not really...

There are things even a maxed out PC can't do that the 360 can, like the HDR+AA.

but as far as I know thats the sole advantage. In all other areas the PC has the Xbox beat or at least equaled, besides cost also.

Also ATI has has released a hotfix to the recent 6.3 drivers to allow both HDR and AA at once. It is achieved by selecting HDR from the game and setting Catalyst to do the anti aliasing. Sure, it isnt from the ingame menu but if it works then who's complaining. http://support.ati.com/ics/support/default...uestionID=21960 . So yes, with that considered I can't really see any advantages over the PC in terms of graphics quality.
