Default Immersion in Video Games

I'm not quite sure how to word this thread, I guess.


I really don't want it to become a Wii vs HD console thread, but sure it will lead towards it.

I'm just curious what creates better immersion in a game.

Is it mood setting music?
Beautiful graphics?
Well constructed gameplay?
The interface?

I'm curious on thoughts because I mean I guess it has always been the gameplay for me, I loathe games that break up the action with long-drawn out cutscenes, but I know some people enjoy it because it brings them more into the world. Music is another thing that could help immerse you, but I guess I should expand that to sound overall.

So what best creates immersion for you.
