my current favorite games are Oblivion, Forza 2, Halo 3(but I sold it to get Assassins Creed) and I am really loving this game. I have COD4 but I haven't played it at all.

Assassins Creed is one of my favourites atm, along with COD4 (I completed it on the PC) :rockout:

PS: is that your dog in your avatar? If yes, wow, he is an amazing looking dog (American Pitbull?)
 
Thank you, yes that is my dog and he is a Boxer. I will play COD4 later after i finish this game.

Hes a boxer! :eek: LOL, my eyes must be going :roll: ( I used to have a boxer aswell....female, brindle colour. She died a long time ago :( Lovely dogs...so friendly & playful)

That is one great looking dog :)

I have a pure bred Jack Russell Terrier now called Bowser (lol)

EDIT: actually, looking at the pic better (Im a bit tired atm lol) I can clearly see its a boxer....I should have noticed the folds at the sides of the mouth :)
 
Sorry about that. Boxers are such a awesome breed.
I was going to get one of those before I got Rosco(my dog)
And I do have a American Pit bull Terrier(she is a big baby).

Cool name! I have a friend called Rosco lol. They are funny little animals (Jack Russells) They are small in frame but big in heart m8. My one is soft as hell, but he tried to stand up against a Staffordshire Bull Terrier/Bullmastiff cross the other day lol :roll: If you ever feel the need to get another dog, you should get one (JRT), they are great[/QUOTE]

Nice, do you have any pics? I would love one of those, but they are banned in the UK, sadly :( (due to ignorant bastards breeding them to be vicious and giving them a bad reputation!)
 
Sorry about that, are Staffordshire Bull Terriers banned there? I think they are like cousins to a American Pit Bull Terrier(I hate people that misuse a dog for fighting).
I have pictures of her. I'll get some up sometime.

When you play Call of Duty 4, you'll know how much better it is than Halo 3. Halo 3 is all hype, it's too easy and not much of a step further than Halo 2...

I know how good the single player is but the online really sucks to me since the multiplayer maps are all exact clones from the maps on campaign. That's what I had put myself on the line saying to myself if this is just like COD2 with single player map rip offs then Im not buying it. I like how Halo 3 has maps that are not rip outs from campaign thats why I love its multiplayer

Hi, Ive just added you :)
 
Whats best on an HDTV (max 1080i), Component or VGA :confused:

Im using Component, but I was thinking about giving VGA a try (I have a m8s Cooler King sat here doing nothing and if VGA was better I would purchase a proper XBOX360 VGA cable)

What are your views on this?

I'm going to get the vga cables just for the fact to see how it goes. I believe it all depends on the type of LCD screen that you have.

EDIT: I got the VGA cables and I'm loving it. just have my Xbox on my desk and start playing it. the screen looks great and since my LCD has both VGA and DVI I don't have a problem keeping it going.

Mine looked better thru VGA. I have a 32" 720p Samsung.
 
Depends on your TV. From the posts here and at [H], if your tv is older but does have HDMI VGA or Component will look better. VGA always beats component. Only newer tvs looks better with HDMI vs VGA.

Yeah, once I replaced my dead 360 with an Elite, I started using HDMI, and it looks even better than the VGA. So it's like this for me. HDMI>VGA>Component
 
HDMI is technically the best interface, but the interface is only as good as whats on either end. Anything based on the HDMI 1.3 spec should be superior to VGA due to protocol improvements, but the jury is still out yet. Anything based on 1.0-1.1 will probably look better on VGA.

Yeah, that's why I mentioned "for me". It all come down to your specific hardware.
 
I just can't wait to get my VGA cable in the mail ($15 from [H]ardocp FS forum) and try it out on my 19" trinitron...hehe.
 
what about DVI? Can xbox be hooked up threw DVI.
 
i got cod 4 on pc its a good game but i hate how every enemy is coming for me seriously feels like i was doing all the work, i also hated how when i got close to a guy he would just stand and fire for ever untill i either died or moved away or killed him. Now i think about it its ultra annoying how guys keep coming spawning in a building or place untill i move on so if i just tried to shoot them all fight my way to the building i cant because theres more guys appearing i just kill one and more come along untill i move on then that area just magically nobody comes.

only vga cables for xbox 360 or hdmi

anyone getting the TNA iMPACT game next year?

Well Ive got a 32" Waltham LCD TV (its a fairly budget model) but it does have HDMI and runs my 360 great in 1080i via Component.

Should I test a VGA cable as I dont have an HDMI port on my 360 :cry:

Yes they can, but you have to use an HDMI cable, then use HDMI-DVI Adapter. They're both digital so there shouldn't be a loss in quality, but you will lose sound so you have to use optical or some other audio output.
 
Just wondering, does anyone know how much a game store (like GameStop or EBGames) will take for trading in Halo 3? I'm bored of it...really bored of it. Yesterday was the first time I played it in a long time and it's nothing anymore...and I'm considering trading it in.
