actually the New York Post is known as being ocassionally corrupt and even worse to me is that when they DO post incorrect stories they downright tell people they will not retract them. As for the article he actually does make valid points. Thats just life though but 8 months from now they'll be swinging the other way once theres an actual library of games to choose from. But yeah really dont crack jokes about how "great" the New York Post. Its just another journalistic media outlet who screws up even more due to their high stature and saying they are all supreme and up on high makes me laugh. But even then that doesn't make the story any less true. Some people are getting WAY too defensive over the criticism when it is with meritt and backed with very true facts. Dont sweat it so much or you'll just look silly

remember when xbox came out and so called experts said said it was too early for a console bank on the idea of just using broadband for its gaming. But it only took a short few months to see that it WAS the right move using just a broadband connection and not offering multiple adapters like PS2. I believe the same goes here, even though the 360 is driven for the HD experience...it'll be just fine on your current setup. But when you get that HD tv, which many of us already have or are planning on getting within the next few years,...well with 360 you'll be set. The problem with alot of this authors argument is he seems to only be thinking of right now this moment in gaming. Well if he was any sort of expert he'd know that gaming as a whole is ever changing. Hell every few months we see game footage or a new device that shifts the industry.

But it wouldn't be biased if it was on the PS3 or Revolution?

They have a point with that article, but I'm not fond of the way they reference 50 Cent: Bulletproof as one of Christmas' best games.

Hello, get with the times. HDTV is here! If you don't have one start saving, fast. Everything is going that way. Every couple of months a few more HD channels pop up. Look at professional sports and HD. How many leagues are filmed in HD. The entire World Cup games will be in HD. If you can afford to get an Xbox you can afford to get an HDTV.

I'm a 360 guy, and I won't buy the PS3 or Revolution, I won't even buy a Sony camera! The guy had some points, but he went about making them the wrong way. The guy is either biased towards Sony, or he's a bad writer, because his article made it sound like he was saying "don't buy the xBox 360, it's crap". The truth is, when the PS3 releases, it's going to be a lot more expensive. The 360 will probably drop at least $50 to help goad people to it. They might even go so far as to do away with the Core system and retail the Premium package for the Core price. Which means if you wait until the PS3 launches (which won't be Spring '06, I guarantee it, probably holiday '06 at the earliest), you could save $50 to $100 on your 360. But to me, I'm paying that extra $50 or $100 to have mine now. If I could have had it 8 months ago for $450, you best believe I would be playing it right now. I think this article is geared more towards the people eBaying one for Christmas. Those guys are going to spend $600 to $2000 dollars this Christmas. That's a little outrageous, and I would personally wait before I did that. My overall thoughts on this article, the guy is ignorant. Anybody who's decided to get a 360 is not going to change their minds over this load of Sony-loving crap.

Oh, and the original xBox was HD ready. No one made a big deal about it. When I went from the standard RCA connections to the HD Component connections, I was amazed! It was a huge difference, and that was a lot lower than 720p. I can't wait to see Halo 2 on the 360! If you don't have one yet, get an HD-tv. It's worth it if you are serious about your games and movies.
