Default Can't wait to get home from work....

So the other day I bought a 46" LCD TV (1080P). I'm in love with it and the Wii on it is a blast. But, I feel that I'm not getting my moneys worth by the Wii's graphics even thou I use the component cables. So on my lunch today I ran to Bestbuy and bought a 360 with Madden 09 and a HDMI cable. So now I'm waiting for 5 o'clock to come so I can book home and try this sucker out. Anyone else have this setup and care to tease me? What other games do you recommend?

If you are into RPG's Oblivion is the coolest graphics wise. I dont mind that game. Im stuck cause i ran out of lock picks. So i havent played in a few months haha. COD4 is also good. and will kill years of your life as you will call in sick weeks at a time to play or maybe thats just me.

I recommend COD 4 and any of the Need for Speed title. Enjoy.

COD4 (i hear 5 is good too), Madden is a blast! Gears 2, Army of 2, hell most of 'em are great for graphics! I have the 360 Elite through HDMI cable to a 57' Toshiba 1080p, f*in beautiful! With the hdmi the xbox will turn on, but not boot up until the TV is on though, kinda weird, makes you so you can't pop a disk in and let it load with the TV off.

Look into getting a wireless mouse and keyboard too and hooking up the PC through the TV. With a fast system and a nice GFX card I hardly play my 360 or PS3 anymore. At max resolution with AA and AF turned up games look 10 times better than on the consoles on a good TV. Good for watching movies too.

I like the game Midnight Club Los Angeles. Also NBA live 09` is pretty dope. Just sucks that you gotta pay 60 bucks a pop for a game.
