I played Call Of Duty 2, and then downloaded the PC demo recently, and it looks better on my PC, with an ATI 9800.

BTW Virtua Fighter 5 is more likely for PS3 than 360.
Actually VF5 has been announced for the 360. I don't know if it's an exclusive though but probably not.
VF5 hasn't been announced for home consoles yet, 360 or otherwise, check Sega's Japanese website if you don't believe me.

People assumed it would be on 360 because the Linbergh arcade board was wrongly described by a Sega official as being "Xbox 360-based," when it in fact has more in common with a PS3, seeing as it has an Nvidia graphics core.

Moreover, Sega would never make Virtua Fighter exclusive to Xbox, seeing as VF's biggest market is Japan, where the PS3 will reign-supreme, whatever happens in the west.

And a shameless plug for the stuff I'm selling on eBay, if you're into that sort of thing.

If VF5 is an exclusive, it will be for whatever console sells the best in Japan.... unless westerners start caring for this series again, which I doubt they will. Not enough jiggle.

Neutering the custum game soundtracks is just stupid. Mybrother and quite a few friends are gonna be really annoyed by that, they loved ripping Mp3s to their XBoxes. And the 30 fps thing that is ultra bad. Are we still in the PSX, N64 and DC era? :evil:

As for the pad, I can live with the cheapness as long as the ease of function is there and the corrections they made (fixing the position of back and forwward and the power button) sound nice.

Have you posted this in any other forums like TNL or GA?

Well Game Crazy said that they will have a playable 360 at the end of this month, so I'll definately have to go over and at least try it out.

Menu-wise, the only thing that sounds even remotely interesting to me is a built-in puzzle game done by the Russian guy who developed Tetris.
