360 gets 1080p....

....and the ability to upscale both games and regular DVD' s to 1080p through a fall software patch (probably the update).

Link

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.

nice, i didnt know that, i should try and test a dvd on it! fuck my dvd player :P

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

WTF,Gears of war in 1080p would scare me.
Plz dont deliver that great graphic yet

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

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?.

I kick ass.

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.

Majik,people like me with a tv that support 1080i,can i ever put that on?

Or does it always scale down to 720?

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.

Majik,people like me with a tv that support 1080i,can i ever put that on?

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!!

Are all the threads about resolution nowadays? Boooooooooooring!

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!

WTF? Why? You' re black for fucks sake :)

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...

Kind of. 360 will auto adjust the picture to fit your display.

That would make sense but that doesn' t mean it will be that way :)

360 re-sizes the image and sorts the aspect ratio automatically already though. It would have to be the same for 1080p right?

You have natural sun protection something like SPF 500, I don' t think you can get any darker without cooking yourself.

..what' s the big deal about 1080p all of a sudden?

what happened to:

" even with [final hardware] in mind, reaching good frame rates at 1080p with next-gen graphics is almost impossible. Instead many developers, ourselves included, are reworking so they run at 720p. "

Unlucky for those that were expecting to be able to play their games in 1080p, ...you just got screwed. AGAIN!

We probably gonna hear a lot of dev working for sony claiming 1080p is on its way,but i doubt it.

In other words, movies will play at 1080p. Games won' t, and maybe never will. Not that this is really new, but it' s always distressing to have the obvious reiterated officially

....f*ck, i' m sick of quoting... ...someone go bump the " No 1080p Games Yet Say Sony" thread (it' s on page 2) to see real idiot fanyboys at work ...

Wow, Sony' s Fnorked. It doesn' t matter what the details are, but once Microsoft can start slapping 1080p on their boxes, the everyday consumer won' t know the difference will they?

I wonder what Sony' s reaction' s gonna be to this. " Well, we don' t think 1080p is that much of a deal anyways. Now check out our enemy crabs in 720p!!!"

I don' t care about 1080p. 720 suits me fine, but Sony' s losing their Aces in their respective holes, and fast.

I hope you have reserved good seats because THIS is going to be one hell of a war!

" One who knows nothing can understand nothing"

I just want to let you guys all know the guy who wrote this article is a nub.

Anyways... As of now xbox 360 does not upscale regular DVDs, it outputs them in 480P at the highest and the TV has to do the scaling. This guy doesn' t know what he is talking about, but it would be nice if scaling was enabled in the udpate.

Similar to the way the Xbox 360 upscales original Xbox games from 480p to 720p/1080i, you' ll be able to enjoy your existing Xbox 360 games at the new resolution.

WRONG! It is not similiar at all. Xbox 360 does not upscale original Xbox games it RENDERS them at 720P. All games are rendered at 720P then scaled to whatever resolution you select. It will not render the games at 1080P. If what the article meant to say is true you will simply have the option of scaling to 1080P. They will still look best on a screen with a native 1280x720P resolution because this is their native resolution.

The main advantage is for people with 1080P TVs. They will be able to get an image scaled to 1080P instead of 1080i and it will look a bit nicer.

Also someone said you could to 1080P with VGA. As of now the highest widescreen resolution you can do is 1360x768 (you can also do 1280x1024). This means the the update should allow for output of 1920x1080. I would suspect they add a few in between there and perhaps 1920x1200.

What did you expect from Joystiq?!

I posted a thread about this too.
