Screen Tearing

So I've had my 360 for about 3 months now and have gotten a ton of enjoyment out of it but one thing really bugs the hell out of me. There seems to be an insane amount of screen tearing across a wide range of games. Now the offensiveness seems to vary title to title but in some cases it really affects the mood of the game. Do most devs not use v-sync in their games? Oddly enough I have not noticed this much on the Wii and only here and there on my PS2 (God of War II had a lot). Is this a HW issue on my side or is this just lazy programming? Maybe I'm just being overly picky, but I was pretty surprised that something like this would be allowed on a console whose selling point is high quality graphics. Any fixes would be appreciated. 

 

Most 360 games have tearing, you will have to live with it or buy a cheap pc-system. Even the cheap system has already more power than a 360, better graphics and almost all good 360 games.

Find me a PC that can outperform the 360's graphics capabilities and costs $300 or less.
