When i think about the fact that this game requires 4 times the ram of the xbox yet they got it to work, it makes me even more proud to by a 360! I mean with 512 ram pc ports should be way easier.

no I have played both and HL2 is more varied than doom. Now I wont knock doom its just different all together. Doom is a shooter throughout I feel a fun like a haunted house shooter or something , where as Half Life 2 is an adventure puzzle solving shooter. A very engaging one where you truely do get immersed in the environment and with th characters (at least I did) I wanted to see what happens next. Its very cool in my opinion I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Apparently, you have to have 1000-3000 bucks lying around every year for games to be a 'hardcore gamer'.
I learn something new each day.
By the way, the PC community is a shitty one (if you think the online community is bad on consoles, wait until you get on the 'I'm so uber, you are n00b, my pc pwns yours, and you're a shitty gamer!' pc community. It's worse than 'immature', it's 'pro-me'. I'd pick immature 13 year olds over the majority of gamers I've played against online any day. One small reason: at least the 13 year olds have school and family affairs to go to....

This game is NOT in widescreen, which is a bummer. It raises one question, if the xbox 360 will upgrade games to 720p then what will it do with 4:3 games seeing as 720p is a widescreen only format?

I've noticed that there are two types of gamers. happy, optimistics types (myself included in that group), and the cynical, impossible to impress, etc etc.
Look how far we have com in such a small amount of time. I am way impressed with what is out there. Especially can't wait for the 2nd generation of 360 games to come out (gears of war, prey, too human, mass effect). None of us have even utilized the live features yet. Give it time folks. Lighten up and enjoy the expierence. You'll have way more fun.

Would the Xbox 360 be able to resize the picture on the screen to fit my actual TV?
I'm just asking because the picture on my TV has about a 2" over-scan on all sides.

I posted earlier about the game not being in widescreen, I now can confirm that it is a widescreen game and looks great! The frame rate suffers a bit in the big outdoor areas but it is still a good port IMO.
Gamespot's On The Spot show from last week had one of the developers playing the game, and he definately said the game would only be 4:3 because the xbox was not powerful enough to run it 16:9, strange he would say that when it is a widescreen game.

MS makes the huge deal about HD gaming and the such. There is the ability to change to many resolutions. How in the world does it not have a screen adjustment option!? In reality, all CRTs have SOME amount of overscan!
I really cannot play games on an another console with a 2-3" overscan on all sides of my TV!!!!!!!!!!!
