XBox 360 on HD

On Sunday I spent the afternoon and evening with my old friend Joe Block. He just moved to the Bay Area and one of his first purchases was an XBox 360. He was blown away with it, and when I watched him play one of the downloadable games on the TV in his apartment I was impressed myself. It's definitely fast.

But then we brought it over to my house and plugged it into the new TV and, oh my, it was a whole new level of HD experience. We spent a couple of hours playing Full Auto and... it was just sick. Flicker free, full screen, whickedly high end graphics. I was just blown away. Really.

I can easily see how an XBox 360, with XBox Live, an HD screen, and surround sound could just be completely life consuming. Thus, the reason I will not be getting one any time soon. ;-)
