Nice write up. I pretty much agree with all of it. The fact I’ve not switched the 360 on since I came back in favour of Motorstorm is telling, as I’ve barely played Crackdown. Need to get some co-op on that soon.

I’m getting worried about all these resolutions that the PS3 and 360 are supporting now thanks to the Sony vs MS p1ssing war. Once upon a time all they did was upscale to those resolutions, but now they are hobbling games in order to get them to render at those lofty 1080 resolutions. A few EA games are silky smooth at 720p as expected but jerky-tastic at 1080i and 1080p resolutions. I wish they’d locked the console to 720p rendering for games and allowed up to 1080i/p for movies. Infact, I’d like to have independant resolution settings for games and movies so I can force movies to 1080i and games to 720p. Not gonna happen, so it’ll be a manual switch over in the settings every time I want to watch a movie.

Looking fwd to 2 player VF5.
