    XBOX Fall Update?

    I played some xvid files off of some burned DVDs and almost all of them worked fine, even some that were ac3 encoded played fine.

    Another question regarding vga and the 360

    I watched The Fifth Element, as well as played the PGR 4 & VF5 demos, while having it set at 1360x768, and they all looked really good. I guess what your saying is that it ends up being a matter of personal preference rather than a straight right or wrong answer. Thanks for your advice. :)

    Another question regarding vga and the 360

    My HDTV's native resolution is 1366x768. When I have it connected to my 360 the best res I can get via VGA is 1360x768 as 1080p doesn't work on my TV (although 1080i does work via component). Should I leave it set at the tv's native resolution or should I use 1280x720 (720p)? :confused:

    Question regarding vga and hdmi for 360

    Okay I bought the microsoft hd vga cable, now I've got a question about the display setting. When I was using the component hd cables, in the console display setting it listed the available picture settings, i.e., 480p, 720p and 1080i. When I use the vga cable, it doesn't show those settings...

    Question regarding vga and hdmi for 360

    I looked on Amazon, and saw that they were selling elite 360's with the HDMI cables included. (Actually, all the 360's except for the core model.) So that got me wondering if Microsoft was going to make the HDMI cables available for slightly older systems like mine? If not, then I'm going to...

    Question regarding vga and hdmi for 360

    Almost a year ago, I purchased what at the time was the elite version of the 360, with the 20gb HD. It came with the Component HD cables, and I bought the s-video cables since that was the best that my old TV could use. I just recently purchased an HDTV and started using the component HD...

    Ps2

    I was so addicted to High Stakes on my old PC. I gave it away along with my Sidewinder controller a long time ago, but I still have good memories of playing it. I wish that EA would relaunch an updated version of this game for the new consoles.

    You're so right about Gauntlet. I'm almost sorry I paid the 200 points. :o Puzzle Fighter almost makes me wish I had a high def TV.

    Sony buckles down to compete with the Wii

    It's got such a huge game library that it's going to be a good entry level console for a long time unlike the original xbox.

    Halo 3 Xbox 360 confirmed

    That would be so stupid of them to leave out the game on something that's as limited edition as this is supposed to be. :confused:

    Recap of Nintendo's E3 Press Conference

    Regarding Metal Gear, I haven't seen anything announcing it's availability on platforms other than Sony's PS3. If you have, could you provide a link. Thanks.

    Recap of Nintendo's E3 Press Conference

    Too bad Peter didn't have a tattoo of Metal Gear 4 to go along with the GTA4 tat from last year. That announcement would've been monumental. They did announce Resident Evil 5, but I didn't hear if it's going to be exclusive to the 360.

    Recap of Nintendo's E3 Press Conference

    Any word on a price drop? I think it would be short sighted of them not to do one. They should make sure that their "elite" systems are less expensive than the 60GB PS3 and their "core" entry level one is the same price as a wii.

    PS3 $100 off 7/15 - 7/21

    So does this extend the "extended warranty" that some of us purchased from MS?

    Another 360 death

    Reading other threads like this makes me wonder if I should just trade in my premium 360 for the elite model.

    Just purchased GoW:CE and Viva Pinata

    I played gears for a bit last night at casual difficulty, and playing it reminded me that I suck at action/adventure games. I haven't been any good at these kind of games since Quake II. Makes me wish there was a level easier than "casual" like "noob". And, Viva Pinata was good but fast. I...
