Xbox 360 Arcade, experience with Beamer and General

got the arcade version in the set ordered (Special!) with 20 GB hard drive (but refurbished orignal of MS, for nothing here) and Modern Warfare 2. The action there by the way is currently still far as I know and is unbeatable.

The Xbox itself I like super, better than Wii and PS3. The feel is for my taste the best of all consoles (and I had all of these consoles> 1 year itself). A matter of taste, I would say.

- Jasper: yes With me. to recognize if you are behind on your console a sticker with "12.1".
- 20GB hard drive only 14 GB remain. Give me, but you should keep in mind ... (GTA4 bspweise need about 8-9 GB if you install it)
- Volume: Kinky, so if you're used to the PC world. Bothers me less while gambling. The Xbox, however, is louder than my Beamer (!). Not for Silent fans, whether you now install a game or play from disk. (From DVD, it will get even louder ... just like I said, I do not störts)
- Beamer connection Cinch: Basically, you should note that with the supplied cable NO HD is possible, at least if you connect the cable only to the yellow RCA Beamer / tube TV that resolution is the native and completely unacceptable. YUV component I have not tested my Beamer has not. Also you can choose the Xbox menu no resolutions. This is only possible with extra cable from Microsoft (original: 30, accessories: from 10)
- Beamer connection VGA port: (! Via optional VGA cable from MS), my 800x600 Beamer provides interpolated 1440x900 represents, more than on the PC is possible All resolutions can be selected. I think this is due to the 50 (flicker-free!) Hz the Xbox. Games look very good, no flicker nothing. DVDs are (felt not measured!) Upgescaled tidy. The Pulp Fiction original DVD could hold on for a Blueray HD!
- Sound quality: Extremely well, crystal clear Dolby that comes across really well with my Yamaha 365.
- HDMI: to have available when I even read when I think that the arcade has no HDMI. Is even higher than the connection over it.
- MS Market Place: You get a free month Gold membership. This is really fun. Many demos all times is the Dante's Inferno Demo suggested or Brutal Legend. Madness, how much love here (in contrast to many PC games) develops and atmosphere is created. And I'm convinced PC gamers ... The whole has other advantages ... The Demos play not only 5 minutes but you can sit in usually at the 20-30 minutes banned there and can gamble by all levels and more.
- For the demos a hard disk is mandatory
- Modern Warfare 2: Am I on the PC through already. Who's therefore would like to have, the send me a message with asking price.

So that's, like comments or questions. Bin of the Xbox makes fun really very excited.
