which my mate brought to a party...

we played that saints demo, dead rising and pgr3 [ok mainly the arcade minigame..] all night... and well, I'm seriously considering buying one.

Few things I'm not sure on? Read over the sticky but still,

surround sound? I have a set of z-5500's I'd want to hook it up to. I had a poke about on the console this morning, couldn't see a digital output, but options for dolby on the settings. I understand I'd need the hdtv cables? How does it connect though? Coax/digital? Pics would be helpfull to explain :)


And to see it, I'll be saving for an hd tv monitor fr my pc and the console eventually, but for now i have my trusty crt. Its fully possible to connect the console to a crt?

Thats all really, off to shave a few quid from my conroe spec up so I can squeeze a 360 in ;)

I'm using my 360 connected to my Z5500's mate. Theres an optical out on the back of all the cables.

Also i am using a tft but have used a crt. As long as you get the VGA cable which surprisingly has a vga connector (the blue one) on it for you to hook straight upto your crt

Get one, you know it makes sense
 
Wise decision mate, you won't regret it

First things first when you get it though, Dead Rising demo, so..much..fun
 
The game will be out before i get my hands on one ;)


another question...

Is it possible to have the vga lead and hd lead for speakers at the same time??

oh my god? the saints demo makes you want a 360? Did you not see the framerate and unbelievable but present pop up while driving around?
 
a set of z-5500s makes this console extra special, before i got my 360 they'd never sounded so good...and in pgr3, they sound the best i think they ever have...i love them...and my 360 to bits (oh and my g/f!)

and in november things should get even better...forza2 :D:D:D:D
 
I thought that the Saints Row demo was pretty good.... im defo going to buy it when it comes out! :D

and yes the 360 is amazing through the 5500's! plus the 360 makes a top dvd player with surround sound!

Saves me 20quid :D Cheers!

And yes, the saints demo helped me make the decision. The open ness of it, the fun we had playing around, hell, we spent an hour blowing trains off the trian track and holding up the guy for more pipe bombs. I've always like open free roam do your own thing games, oblivion/gta and such, so yes, it helped.

and at 3am when laughing so hard at random things who cares if its a tad choppy, it is a demo afterall? And I don't remember a popup while driving, all i remember is trying to glitch the red walls, and ending up with water on the guy, for about 3 hours. Looks awesome when running about with glitter coming off you :D

But, i preffer racing games on consoles so I'll mainly be getting pgr3/burnout/need for speed and ofc dead rising !
