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.

Most console gamers haven't had the chance to experience graphics of this sort because they don't own top draw PC's. It's pretty damn spanky if you ask me that this kind of equipment will only cost about £200-£250.

It seems half the Xbox forums on the net are going crazy about finally challenging PC gaming, they touted that with the Xbox and it is miles off, the gap looks way closer but how the hell people can predict PC gaming over the next 12 months is a little confusing, it's ever changing - for the better.

Not from the screens I have seen so far. Sure they are impressive considering how good Half-Life 2/Doom 3 look now but by the time Christmas comes around PC gaming will be onto 512mb graphics cards and way beyond.

Plus the screens you are seeing are from the games running on a HDTV at the higher resolutions.

You must be joking. Killzone 2 looks way above HL2 and Doom 3. Doom 3's textures look cack. HL2 is good looking but mainly more a physics showoff. There is another game (foget the name) on the 360 using the Unreal 3 engine which looks stunning. Footage is on gamespot.

The graphics show cased so far don't look any better than Half-Life 2/Doom 3 on the PC, can't see why everyone is so excited about how good they look.

I agree with what Tilt said entirely. Those graphics are just immense.
