   Well, I can definitely understand that. If it wasn't for that HD DVD Drive and   
   a   
   few key titles on the 360, not to mention the massive improvements to Live, I   
   could see myself skipping this next generation as well.

   I've got Heroes on Xbox...it's alright. Looks great at 480p(even though the box   
   says it's supposed to be 720p) in widescreen mode...I mean, really great, like   
   a   
   lot better than most stuff looks. I'm still messing around with it, not too   
   thrilled with the team aspect...seems like they did it better back in Knuckles   
   Chaotix...

   Well, it *is* a Japanese RPG...so I'd say "check" and "check". ;)
