Right folks. It's that time of year again. E3 begins this week and I'll be interested to see what sort of new 360 images/videos and new games will be announced. Post images, news and video links here. Personally I'm hoping for some in game PGR3 shots and some PD0 shots. I cannot wait to get my hands on the 360. I'll post some of the games we can look forward to tomorrow when I can be bothered.

Yeah and me, they look spanking, people getting a little too carried away me thinks though, seduced by the Microsoft love boat.

Forget the numbers then, games running top whack with all the bells turned on, only that isn't top whack as current HDTV's can't challenge the top end monitor resolutions for PC's.

I remember when they said the Xbox would challenge PC games technically followed by a load of crap, it wasn't/isn't even slightly close.

I know PC gaming has over heads etc but there is no way they could get something running with 6xAA and 16xAF at 1080i with 512mb RAM without running into horrendous slow down. The finished article will no doubt be far watered down on what crap Microsoft are spewing out at the moment. Not only that but judging from what I have read it sounds like they are trying to challenge current gen PC games, PC gaming never sits still, always newer/better things on the way.

They're challeging them graphically but apparently the framerates are suffering at times and they can't do anti-aliasing.

Are these the ones challenging PC graphics, and they're only 1/3 of the power the final ones will be?
