[QUOTE="RocklandUSA"][QUOTE="pantomime725"]

I am a huge movie fanatic, and I want the best quality dvds without buying an expensive HD-DVD or Blu Ray player. I understand that in stores, they sell "Upconversion dvd players for NEAR-HD quality." Of course, it says it'll upgrade your quality to 1080i. I know in the xbox360 settings, you can change your option to display 1080i, which I do. Now, Does this 1080i ONLY do it for games, or does it do it for movies as well?

If the signal is only for games, and still keeps the dvds at a 420p quality, I'll be more than likely buying an upconverting dvd player. If someone can tell me that the 360 does indeed show moveis at 1080i, then I will be a happy man. Thanks to all who can give me the advice on this.

The 360 will only have 1080i quality for games, its dvd player willonly support 420p.We ended up, after we got a 65in HDTV, getting aupconvert dvd player (on sale for $80 at Best Buy from). It works great and it is one of the only ways we could get 1080i/1080p quality for our tv without a bluray or hddvd player.And the upconvert dvd player is def. cheaper than the HDDVD player addon for 360. Unfortunatly it helps alot to chip in the extra money to get a HDMI cable if you tv is compatible

the dvd player does upscale dvds, but there is law against devices upscaling through component cables. Component cables are non-hdcp.

The upscaling law may be true, but trust me. Things look a hell of a lot sharper when you use a HDMI cable instead of the standard. Ive tested it and I can tell the difference

Get one...there wont be a price drop till next year i expect after halo 3 and GTA4 demand dies down

Host: Dude! Go to LOCUST or I will boot you!

Other guy: Why?

Host: Because I wanna play with my friend.

I hate it when they do that and then complain about how everyone wants to be CoG

duuudes; Dane Cook. cuz he actually plays on XBL. he plays GEARS O_oohsocool2k5

If I ever met Dane Cook on Gears, that would probably be the funnest match ever

Im gunna say Halo 3, Mass Effect, and Assassin's Creed. HL2 and Splinted Cell are awesome to.

I highly doubt the controllers will work with both games, their made by different companies. (I won't give feedback on which game because I dislike both guitar hero, and prbably Rock Band once it's released...)Shrapnel99

The guitar hero controllers were made by the same company back when Red Octane and Harmonix worked together. And they have already released a statement saying the old guitars will work with Rock Band

ROCK BAND FTW. its got drums and thats all you need to make you want it
