    Okay, so am thinking of buying an Xbox 360 this summer...
    QUESTIONS:
    1. What speed does your broadband have to be to play games properly?
    2. Can it work with the Media Centre in Vista?
    3. Will GTA:IV look better on the PS3?

    It would be great if someone would answer these!
    Thanks!

    1. Pretty much any broadband package on the market should do the trick... 1Mb should be a bare minimum though.

    2. Yep, Vista will even recognise that there's a 360 on your home network and do most of the set up for you

    3. Beats me... I guess Rockstar already have a bit more experience with the 360 (Table Tennis), so there's a chance they'll be able to make it look better on the 360. the difference between the two will most likely be negligible

    go for it anyway, i'm chuffed to bits with my purchase:)

    1. As tman said, any broadband package over 1MB will do.

    2. Yes, there's full Media Center integration in the 360.

    3. The 360 is level (if not better) in the graphics department with the PS3.

    nope... it's sitting right next to my pc and i'm using the same monitor for both, so there's no point:p
    you can stream music and video off your pc and stuff like that...

    i think it will look pretty much the same , most playstation games do look slightly better and with this weekends updates they look even better where you can get proper blacks which i cant get on my 360
