I'm the first to admit that I'm a graphics whore and that a few Xbox games have truly impressed me with their improvement over games on other consoles. DOA3 and Wreckless are the best examples. But I'll also admit that the graphics in most Xbox games are overblown; not even coming close to living up to the hype.
Chap, stop posting threads like this. Frankly they aren't of a high enough standard to be posted here.
As for Nintendo and Sony needing to learn from MS when bulding a console. I completely disagree.
Each company made the hardware they wanted to make, and each had there reasons for making it that way. Arguably Sony made flawed hardware in PS2, but that is only arguable and not fact. I don't think it can really be argued that Nintendo made flawed hardware.
Nintendo clearly got exactly what they wanted from GameCube. A powerful, easy to program for and cheap to manufacture, peice of hardware. Had they wanted it to be more powerful at a higher price they could have easily done that.

What Teasy said. Nintendo got a good bargain out of the GameCube, which is why it's as powerful as it is.
I feel that consumers might be getting jipped (sp?) a little compared to Xbox though. $50 more gets you HDD, network, and 2 very solid games bundled; for $80 more than GCN you can get all of that plus DVD capability.
Memory cards aren't required, and the hardware is more powerful overall. MS has the better deal.. but of course they're desperate to move systems while Nintendo should also be desperate but is chugging along with a totally orthodox routine.

I'm glad you think it takes brilliance to build the Xbox, that makes me one too, being I used similar parts in my last PC, Im a genius.

They look close enough on my 34" HDTV.
Seriously, why does this board give me the impression of it being anti Xbox? I dont worship MS but the Xbox is an darn impressive hardware, truely one that blew me away since the NEOGEO.
Beautiful 3D graphics! Only on XBOX!

You bought that with your pocket money or what?

Ah yes - that special HDTV which bumps up the resolution and adds a new AA algorithm that even the Radeon 9700 Pro can't match.
While the clearer picture of HDTV does help overall, it also makes aliasing more pronounced. Of course, if all you do is play Dragons Lair at 1080i, more power to you.
The board is anti-useless-trolling threads that are started by prepubescent brats, rather.

My dad bought it, it is my family TV but since my parents are not around most of the time...
480p looks great. While the AA is not there, the resolution looks close enough, not to mention the crisp color clarity too.
