If you need a reason to get an Xbox, this looks it.

Don't think that because the games looks to have half decent graphics, it will spare me into paying £300 for a games console.

Ill wait for it to hit the PC, or the price to drop on the 360 before I even consider it.

Either way the game itself cud be utter crud, as from that movie its doesnt show any in game gameplay or graphics at all (the likelyhood of them graphics having been rendered on the 360 itself is remote, they wont be as crisp on the actual game, the likelyhood is them graphics have rendered on a workstation).

apparently not.

Apparently it is straight from the 360 according to rockstar

Ahh but is rendered from the game?? Its one thing rendering a pre-made sequence, its another thing altogether rendering a game. It happens all the time, we see highly impressive graphics in promotional video's and then bam, the actual game is not quite as nice.

One of the last resident evil games on the gamecube was in game rendered, and my it looked good! Still couldn't play it mind (scaredy cat!)

Although the GTA4 trailer looks mightily impressive if it is in game rendered as Matty says.

Rockstar has stated that all the trailer's footage is generated real-time by the game's engine RAGE, running on an actual game console, and was not pre-rendered.[11] The footage has not been confirmed to be running on the Xbox 360 or the PS3.

Well that means it might not be running on a 360 anyway then??? It might actually be a PS3. Which is far more powerful then a 360 when it comes to graphics rendering (the PS3's CBEA alone is capable of outdoing the 360's entire system when it comes to rendering graphics, and thats without making use of the RSX, for instance).
