360 gets 1080p.... - Sep 20, 2006 16:47
....and the ability to upscale both games and regular DVD' s to 1080p through a fall software patch (probably the update).

Nice! Does the current DVD player in the 360 upscale DVD movies?

Oh yes. The HD-DVD Player isn' t even necessary for this. It all does it through software.

Sounds great , but it' s strange I don' t know how they plan to do this - 1080p through component can be easily achieved on no longer than 1m cables.But TV has to support component 1080p

They won' t they said all games will be 720p but if you own a 1080p TV Xbox will upscale it' s output to match TV - it' s actually very nice.

Movies in 1080p are the main reason I suppose.

No, they said that if a developer gives native 1080p support to a game then 360 will output native 1080p. If not then it' ll be up-res' d from 720p to 1080p.

This is only really going to affect people with 1080p TV' s that have VGA inputs, or newer TV' s that support 1080p through component.

I think my tv is able to output 1080p so with the fall update will I be able to upres games like doa4 and well everything else to 1080p?.

Absolutely.

All 360 games support 720p, so if your TV is 1080p capable then it' ll up-res games to 1080p. You' ll also probably be amongst the first of us to play 360 games in 1080p!

Remember that you will only be able to do it if your TV supports 1080p via component or if you connect via VGA. Ofcourse, if it comes to it it' d be worth buying the VGA cable JUST to play in 1080p.

Good stuf man good stuff. This is good cos I got the tv and a new vga cable for the 360 and was kinda disappointed that it has 1080p but the only things I would be watching is bbc-hd or something like it so. Also I wanna see the difference between 1080p doa4 and 1080i thats my main thing because I was surprised by the difference between 1080i and 720p. Damn so many things I need to do before games like gears come I wanted to get new speakers, change the tv hope ms gets some new colours on the market.

What 1080i?! You can do that right now. However, in the dashboard you' ll only be able to select the resolutions that your cable supports and if there are resolutions that your TV doesn' t support you' ll just get a black picture for a few seconds as it tests the resolution.

I' m not so much excited in the 1080p facet so much as the fact that DVD' s will be upscaled to at least 1080i for my TV!!! Hooray!!

Yes they are you 45 year old in a 20 year olds body!

So.... PS3 isn' t the only one with " True HD" ?

Fukk Gangsta... He is the most hated member on Kikizo..

So does that mean the 360 gets 1080p Virtua Tennis.?

I want the PS3 to announce a stand alone suntan machine with their console now!

Does the HD-DVD player play DVDs? Becuase if it does, then you could just use it' s HDMI-out for 360 games at 1080p.

Hmm, so does this mean the 360 will be able to upscale to resolutions between 720p and 1080p after this magical update?

1680x1050 would be ideal for me at the moment...
