Hi i am curious about the hdmi function on xbox 360. I played my xbox 360 on a hd-tv at my parents house in CA for a year, and the picture looked dull on 480p, almost like a s-video signal type of quality. On 720p it looks best, and most sharp. On 1080p the sharpness and textures fade (upclose textures are blurry). Now On a 720p Sanyo tv (one of the first hd tvs tube crystal pixel type) it looks like 1080i is the best. It cant do 1080p and the strangest part is that 720p looks blurry and 480p almost indistinquishable from 1080i. 1080i looks sharpest. I recall the textures on the hd-tv looking 3dimensional when zooming in to the batman textures ONLY on 720p. Now whats strange is the 720p signal is dull on the Sanyo. How do tube hdmi tvs work exactly? Is there no direct signal for 720p? If this is the case I just leave it on 1080i. Why does 480p on the Sanyo display a better signal than the 720p one and almost equivalent to the 1080i?> This must mean the hd-tv was analog at 480p at my parents house but im not sure. Thanks.

Ps I know all about the upscaling effect and diminishing resolutions. I was just wondering why the crystal bulb hdmi tvs have this effect of lowering the 720p res.

sometimes its spy-ware. Check out my blog on the dangers of pc o/s.

I heard somewhere Ps3 can not do blur effects without a cost in fps, while xbox 360 can do pixel blur without a loss of framerate. Can anyone tell me the dif?:question:

Personally, the PC is going to the way of the consoles in terms of technology. As long as there is a clock and a motor to run it, the speed isnt going to change significantly in the CD data era of console gaming. Consoles are going the way of PCs not PCs of consoles. I can have more fun with a PC from 2000 which runs certain games best and most stable. The larger the platform, and more electricity it can pump, the more stable. That is whats going to change. PCs are going to stop progressing like cars and the motor do I bet. PCs will always be superior because you can customize it so it runs better. Check out my blog for more info.

actually, dc vs marvel is on mugen, except it would be better if capcom made it because of their style. I happen to be a fond collector of comics during the height of the dc and marvel universe. Collectively they were linked really well during the 1990s when xmvsf came out, so that time would have been the best time to release it.

april 6 update apparently doesnt work with routers with slow:evil: dsl speed and freezes xbox silver memberships ON PURPOSE.

EDIT: nm, apparently had to delete downloads in inventory. I think it just updates symbols on external hardware or something.

well, no the majority of reviews are from elitists. Having studied both consoles, they are evenly matched. Here is a summary from my blog. 1.) Case design winner: 360 Srry 360 follows through with the game console design that dvd players and computer designs dont. 2.)Graphics tie: 360 or Ps3. AA or jaggies. I noticed that the 720p res are the same. Designers handle the AA, and although ps3 can have better AA environements it never has better detail, framerate or textures and shadows. ATI vs Nvidia pure and simple. 3.)Controller: Casual gamers like ps3 but 360 is better when it comes to gameplay. 4.)Price: 360 is better because its price is for cheap gamers who buy 200 dollar modded consoles. Easier to hack eg copied dvds without originals. 5.)service: 360 because its online is 6 months free with accounts reused 6.) menu: 360 old version because its menu was simple for gamers. I will give it to ps3 though because its for the casual gamer. Wii for the smart gamer and 360 for the cheap gamer.

Psone is teh dreamcast of the 32-bit gen. It is wat dreamcast couldve been. Saturn was supposed to be like the Ps2 except it lacked games, programming and 3d effects in the gen which transisted from 2d to 3d. I think its more like the ps3 personally. Right now anyways.

Saturn has 1000+ titles, Psone has 7300+ titles Dreamcast near 700 I think internationally (I may be wrong). Nintendo has always been in its own field with less than 500 n64 games. Sega and Nintendo will always be king of videogames in starting these large game libraries, well technically it was atari but the console wars really started with sega and nintendo.

So it was Sega vs Nintendo, Sega vs Sony, and Sony vs Microsoft. If you like console wars you like nintendo and sega because they escalated it to its current position. Sony and Microsoft are now the big rigs on the field. Saturn was worst than ps1, because of its abnormal price, no hit exclusives and unfriendly user fan base. I just didnt get it in the usa at least. Saturn seems like a Japan only system. It stopped what its predessors began in key hit game titles like sonic or got rid of its numerous arcade game franchises like space harrier or outrun to replace it with far superior arcade games, since technology was slower back then.

There were very few games on Saturn which its best known for. These games originate on the system, Panza Dragoon, Knights and a few rpgs I cant think of right now. Worth getting, not worth playing. It was the system that was only fun for rich people with big egos (eg Bomberman was fun with 8 players, show-and-tell was not). Thats why Psone is better than Ps2, because it invented what made the ps2 great, reinventing a gen, and destroying the competition with fun franchises. Ps2 just carried on its legacy.
