The PC does not need your defense.

In fact, it does a great job defending you.

My 360 is doing 1024x768 right now. So, I don't know what this 600p you're talking about is.

That's not true... I play it on my SDTV all the time and it looks fine. Resolution doesn't change all that much other than making the picture bigger, maybe getting rid of some jaggies.

Most console games are 720p with a few being 640p/600p with it being scaled up to 720p/1080p (some are even native1920x1080p). The seperate scaler in the 360 (ANA)is very good and there is no way the even most hardcore could tell the difference. Plus 1900x1200 PC monitors are only on the 26" widescreen monitors and up. Which usually run from $500 to multiple thousands ofdollars. Which IMO is really lame considering you could get a 32"-50" 720p/1080p LCD tv for around the same price and is much more enjoyable for gaming and movie watching.

As for the game being unplayable get real they first demo'd the game on 360 hardware. If they thought it looked like such crap they would of demo'd it on the PC. BTW not every PC game runs fantastic at high resolutions either.

Atleast I can still tell the difference, rather than having to stare at my P.C. monitor from 3 inches away to get the same effect as playing COD4 on my 55inch T.V.

Well, we put the game in, and if it's fun and doesn't look like crap, then we're good to go. I could either worry about pixels, or play the game - which one sounds more like entertainment?

As a pc gamer this post is stupid as hell. I play all my games at 720p, just like most console gamers. In fact a great deal of pc gamers play there games at 720p.

Now who's the idiot? I would think you'd have noted the blatent sarcasm. That's always the thing about PCs vs. consoles--bang for the buck. If all one wants to do is pop in and play games, consoles offer simplicity and a slimmer price tag. Don't believe me? Why do you think the Wii is still selling so well?

I never said the entire game quaity, but it ups the visual quality, making it better than it is without it.

My 360 beats yours. 1280x768 :P.

I think everyone knows consoles can't do high revolutions. Even my laptop can do 1280x800.

This thread is made of t3h funny stuff. Bragging about how consoles graphics look ugly on SD screens yet you can't even run Crysis at a value that makes it "t3h bestest looking game ever." What a contradiction.

&

"HD" is a new ploy created to take advantage of that bill the federal government/FCC passed a year ago stating that all broadcasting must be at least 1280 by 720 res. by 2009. Digital Television Transition Act is what it's called. When you take into account that there are no SDTVs in stores now and that HDTVs can be bought for $300, I would market my product to take advantage of the inevitable evolution of technology.

Toshiba and MSFT are on the same bandwagon as far as high definition media goes, why not advertise your product that compliments your partners venture. It serves an actual purpose, not just to make things look pretty.

& No one cares if the PC has been capable of it for years and no one cares that games run at 600p.

*Goes back to playing Crysis at 640x480 @ 3fps*

yeah, for consoles. On games for PC (with the exception of crysis) most games run smoothly up to 2560x1600. Where a 8800GTX can run oblivion maxed 2560x1600 better then the X360 or PS3 @ 1280x720.

Main purpose of high resolution is to read text. It doesnt matter much for games and movies.

Ever wondered about the resolution of a movie in cinema? All agree that cinema graphics are the most engrossing.

Um most graphically impressive games on pc wont dream of running 2560x1600 resoulution at a reasonable framerate . Look at Bioshock, Crysis and other big name titles .

What? Bioshock runs confortabily at 2560x1600

http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3140&p=9

30+ FPS.

As I said Crysis is a exception due to the fact that it looks better then anything out there. And what other big titles stress PC hardware at 2560x1600?

Framerates over 30?
