Graphics are excellent, better on pgr than tdu, although tdu is more involving.

There seems to be many options on the xbox's menus, what are the features i should be checking out?

also is there any menu for me to optimize it for widescreen or is this automatic?

PGR is genius, get Xbox live and get playing it!

As for options, you can download new avatars and themes for the menus/profile - some cost, some dont. Look under the screen/resolution settings for windscreen/resolution/HD settings.

Only thing you will find annoying is that some of the games are heavily based around the xbox OS/menu system, so you have to keep loging in and out to access certain parts of PGR, for example. Plus you need an xbox live subscription for each user profile - which is cack for campaign games over the net, becomes bloody expensive, especially as you can't transfer subscriptions between accounts.

when you add someone to your friends list it means you will be able to see what they're up to whilst logged into Live.

They can send you invites to games which is pretty cool. You can also chat with them over live using the headset You can send messages to them as well.

All good fun.

you can only see what people are doing on Xbox Live. I.e, what game they're playing or if they're at the dashboard. You can also see their 360 achievements and what games they have
