Has anyone viewed 1080p from the Xbox360?
I like ho weveryone ahs been sucked inot the hype that is XBox360 HD-DVD support.
There is no HDMI cable for the XBox360 that I can find... so the "upgrade" to allow 1080p support seems moot at best, down right dishonest marketing at worst. It would seem that component inputs on the majority of TV's support 1080i max res. So you buy the HD-DVD drive for your Xbox360 for $200, buy/rent a bunch of HD-DVD's that would in theory be 1080p movies, but only playable as 1080i on your big screen HDTV... Not to mention the games will only be 1080i... ;) So it looks as if Sony blew Micro$haft right out of the water with this Blu-Ray thing ;) Oh - and GT4 at 1080i upscaled to display on 1080p looks pretty much the same as PGR3 at 1080i.. ;) So it looks like Forza2 will not even be as good in the visual department as GTHD, a free demo :P XBy360's feel free to chime in and stand up for the XBox ;) Oh - and let me know where I can find a pirate HDMI accesorie cable :D |
Sony fan boy :P :wink:

Hey - I am just calling it like it is.. :P

first off I want to get this cleared out. The max most if not all Xbox360 games support is 720p correct? This is without upscaling or any of that software crap.
Second does anyone know of any 360 games that will have native 1080p resolution rather than just upscaling it? Third its kinda off topic but is Test Drive Unlimited coming to PS3? If so When? :P I have looked everywhere on the "tubes" and cant find no damn info about it :( *EDIT* Forgot to mention I like the way RC is thinking about $ONY now. :D |
Meh, I don't much care. it'll still look damn good either way.
As a game machine, the PS3 is completely worthless at the moment IMO. But it seems it's blue ray player is doing pretty damn good. I just wonder if playing lots of movies will have an effect on the PS3. Playing DVD's killed my PS2. I'd realy like to get an HDTV. But the more I read into it, the more confusing it gets. It's getting ridiculous. HDMI, DVI, HDCP, Blue ray versus HDDVD, component, "True HD" and a ton of other nonsense. LOL |

As I understand it, an interlaced recorded source is reinterlaced to display on a progressive display. And as such I noticed that as an example, GT4 1080i when displayed on a native 1080i display seemed smoother and less prone to combing than when the 1080i source is displayed on a 1080p display. So in short, if there exist no 1080p sources for XBox360 then I will always have combing when viewing the computer graphics at 1080p. *shrug* The main deal was to be able to enjoy Blu-Ray at 1080p which is flicker free and pristine ;) this we have accomplished... I understand if I had bought a 720p/1080i TV then it would make no difference as even 1080p source would be deinterlaced to display in an interlaced fashion on the 1080i display. And to all the PGR3 FanBoys who claim it is awesome at 1080.. it only has 720 res graphics ;) |
Yea, but you can't view 1080p at 24 frames per second with the PS3. It's best if you give me all your gear to avoid dissapointment.

You can get 1080p out of component in an LCD ...

So Microsft have dismissed every single HD TV owner out there with a HDMI.. not a wise move ;) Althouhg, I probably could use the D-Plug "PC" input on the HDTV, as there is an XBox360 cable with D-Plug... |
