I doubt many who loved the X-box and it's games will be dissapointed though....as long as they're not expecting anything other than more of the same games with better graphics.
I agree, especially the last part. I've enjoyed my box and don't expect much different from this one.

True, but the NBA and PGR clips are replays, and the actual in game graphics when you're really playing and the AI is running won't look as good.

The replays in NBA2K4 and PGR2 look much better than the in game graphics on the X-box, it will undoubtably be the same with the next-gen consoles.

Anyway, point being while those screens are amazing, they're not gameplay footage, and what I've seen from PD0 and other snippets of actual games being played didn't impress me much.

I'm sure the Revolution and PS3 screens when they come out won't impress me much either, the jump in graphics just isn't going to be as huge as in past launches.

Guys I see this thread already heading downhill in a hurry. There's a HUGE 360 discussion thread that is going along fine.

Thanks
