Yeah, true. And a very good version of Half Life II has just come out for the Xbox, which will work on the 360, so I'll probably pick that up as well as my 360 games, see how it compares.Originally Posted by TheBuZZard
Hmmm... yeah, new consoles launch at about this price, just not used to having to buy a new (expensive) TV to make my next-next-gen titles look like next-next-gen titles. Still, better than HDTV being ignored I suppose.And also about the same price as every other console launched in the last 10 years, this is the price they always start at.
Time for a new telly. D
Kameo got 9-9-9-9-7-9. Only 'value' let it down, as apparently its a bit short and can be completed in 10 hours. 8.7 out of 10 overall.Sadly I cant read gamespot at work coz "games" sites are blocked
Media streaming is great in theory, but you can bet your bottom dollar it'll only play mp3 and wma audio (not a big issue) and avi/wmv video. Forget DivX and xVid. That's well pants, and is a dealbreaker for me and probably many others.
My original (chipped) Xbox could stream xvid/divx just dandy. <sulk>
This hot girl came over to myspace last night, she twittered my yahoo till I
googled all over her facebook. Ask Jeeves...
System 1: Intel i5-2500k OC STABLE @5.05ghz with a ThermaTake Frio (air power!), 8Gb 1600 (9-9-9-24) R3 Patriot G2 RAM, nVidia GTX980TI ;
System 2: HP N40L Microserver;
System 3: MSI 'Ghost Pro' laptop - 16Gb DDR4 RAM, nVidia 970M, i7-6700, 256GB PCIe SSD + 1TB HDD
System 4: Samsung TAB S 10.1
If its streaming from MCE it wont be in xvid/div/wmv format it will be in the streaming media format.
Ive havent read if people are able to play divx/xvids off CD/DVD yet but if you cant now its something they could easily add later I would guess.
Will I be able to run the Xbox on my 2005FPW monitor in HD? Can I already order the cables needed? I'm currently running it at 1680x1050
Yeah, the monitor will upscale the image internally. Basically, get the vga cable for the xbox360 and set the xbox360 output res to 1280x720(720p) the monitor will then upscale the image to the native res.
There is something else though, if you choose 'aspect' scaling from the image setting menu on the monitor then the image will leave a small black bar at both the top and bottom of your screen. This is so that the image is at the correct aspect ratio (16:9).
If you choose 'fill' scaling then the image will fill the enitire screen but the aspect ratio will be slightly changed (16:9 -->16:10), this can end up causing slight image distortion. The first option is considered the better option in terms of image quality, though the difference in picture quality is very slight imo and i prefer not having the black bars at the top and bottom.
Edit : just noticed your HDTV site, so i'd assume you know all the above already
* Canon 5D Mark ii * 24-105L * 2 x 580Ex ii * 85mm f1.8 * For sale = Canon EOS 400D * 100mm f2.8 macro * 10-22mm * 17-55mm IS f2.8 * 70-300mm IS * speedlite 420EX *
Being able to run at 1080i would be even better. Just need one of those BIG 24" TFTs

buzzard - yeah, 1080i is supported via component as well
The Anandtech boys have taken an Xbox360 apart already

I know 1080i is supported, its just only very few people will be able to use it. 720p is there from anyone with a PC monitor though, which is great.

I call bull, put the axim on top of it and the coins on the mousepad and take another
its the real deal..........

24" Variant, some guy posted pictures of the monitor in all three HDTV modes too (480i, 720i and 1080i). Looks fantastic...
This is whats going to happen with all the next gen concolse games isnt it
This big leap isnt going to materialise until we get new tv's and hdtv is still pricey
