many questions about gaming on PC and Xbox360 xbox360 is getting cheap now so im considering it as a gaming machine for my 42" lcd (1080p res) instead of using my PC (7800gt... could put in a 4850 but its $150. xbox360 is $200). PC Qs: for COD5, is it possible to have 2 ppl play together in co-op mode, offline(like, split screen)? Xbox360 Qs: whats the difference between Xbox 360 arcade, pro and elite? can i play HD videos (.mkv) by plugging in a usb hdd? which xbox360's have the flashable dvd drive? can i load xbox360 games from pc onto the xbox360 hdd and then play it from the hdd? which xbox360's have HDMI output? wat games do u prefer in xbox360 instead of PC? |

pro comes with 60GB premium came with 20GB and its discontinued for a while all brand new xbox will have HDMI |
you need matching hardware to flash your dvd drive, I've studied at least 2 weeks and gave up doing it by myself...I paid $40 to someone and got it flashed, no problem so far. nope, it won't play mkv, it won't detect 2.5" usb HDD go wiki it if you want more info |
If your used to shooting with a mouse... like CS and shit your going to suck balls on the 360 and get pissed off like me. 360 needs a different piece to play HD DVD's. Berz out. |
360 takes awhile to get used to the controller for FPS, Single player is fine, but multiplayer....I've played like 700 or 800 Halo games, and it still pisses me off. |

For flashing the drives i found that the "unbreakable" BenQ drives were the easies to flash, 10 Mins Max. Also get a xbox with a hard drive, so you can save most of your games, also you can acctually copy original 360 games straight to your hard drive so you dont have to load a dvd. Online games are freaking great!!!!!! Also Headset is a MUST!!!!! You can get wired or wireless, wireless requires a stonger voice tone to activate it, while the wired can even catch soft speaking... COD and NHL are byfar my most favorite games... Best part is it loads 100 Times faster on games than a pc. Ultimate media centre aswell! If your xbox doesnt come with a headset, i recommend getting the combo set with the keyboard, just makes it easier to type when sending messages. You will feel outta place if you dont have a mic... |
In regards to wired mics, the only problem is they can be unplugged very easy...sucks moving around and yanking it out int he middle of a game |

Wireless headset is a must IMO The arcade model actually comes with a wireless controller not wired, but if u want to play online or even update to the new dashboard u will need a HD |
arcade all come with a memory card and the newer ones comes with onboard memory, those are enough to have the dashboard upgrade. |
well ive looked on craigslist and ive found a couple. im just contemplating whether to get: premium, 20gb, HDMI, 1 wireless controller, modded, for $240 or arcade, 1 wireless controller, 1 game, for $175 (hopefully its HDMI) or pro, 20gb, no HDMI, 2 wireless controller, wired headset, external fan, for $190 im planning to hook it up to a 42" 1080p LCDTV. will i notice a difference between Component and HDMI??? as you can see, there is so much more value buying non HDMI |
I'm running my xbox360 on componenet cables on my 52" LCD TV and it looks fine to me. I even use it to watch my DVDs as I'm too cheap to buy a separate DVD palyer :lol |
HDMI all the way! |

FYI, component cable can go up to 1080p |
dammit.. i really wanna get a modded one... but that guy is asking $240. if i go buy an arcade version it will be 240 after tax then another 40 to mod so 280 and ill get the same thing except no hdd |
You can probably mod it yourself if you're familiar with opening apart things like a PC. |
ya im very familiar with doing that. how hard would it be though? i also want to get a hdd for it too.... where can i get one for cheap? |
gtfo if u are too cheap to buy games |
I bet your parents will tell you to gtfo if they know how much money and time you have spent on games |
I wonder wtf is taking up all my space, I have the arcade with the 20gig upgrade and I only have 11 left.. Play quite a few games though I guess |
4GB are for reserved and 2GB is for backward compatibility usable space is only 13GB on the 20GB |
save yourself the money and just get a 42" 720p. You cant tell the difference from 720p to 1080p on a 42" |
