A common mistake to make is to comapre the Xbox/PS2 output on a TV display system.
UNLESS it is a HDTV model with 1080i or 720i then the TV display is configured for approx 500 lines. Yeap that's down at old VGA resolutions.
Regardless of the actual panel pixel resolution then image mapping is at old NTSC/PAL resolutions - ie VGA

So it looks sharp because the fundamental display isnt' capable of showing any better. Check it out on a decent HDTV panel and you'
ll be amazed at how much infromatio is lost in the lower resolutions.

In FPS then it's not jsut "eye candy" it'sa about being able to see the opponent earlier !!

LANS are ok, but still nerdish, something about all the wires, sitting up straight in the chairs, and well u know. Im just so used to lounging around on a sofa and muckin around with halo2 kickin some european ass.

So does wireless LANs not work in your area ? Nueclear EMP pulses from underground testing maybe ??
No need for cables. Though most folsk runnign seriosu LAN Parties will still go cabled. And HOW do you do a FPS or race game for 16 mates on a console ? Remind me coz you can't all manage to get down the one connection and NOT get hurt by the latency
