Loot Ninja gets their Elite questions answerd:
"Yesterday I posted about all the questions I still had about the Xbox 360 Elite. Someone with inside sources at Microsoft from AVS Forum actually got a chance to ask all of those questions.
The 360 Elite will support HDMI 1.2, which means no Dolby Digital+ or TrueHD sound. It will support uncompressed Linear PCM, but only 2 channel. That's some BS right there. That shoots down my idea of buying one..."
Over the last 25 years, there has been a fair few South Park games, and here GameSpew has ranked them all from best to worst.
We are going to see a lot of crap South Park products since they sold out to paramount years ago. It's their IP they can sell out, of course; it just means the quality of their show has tanked and other products as well. Nevertheless, they put on excellent musicals, but those haven't been sold to a mega corporation.
Game Rant chats with the creator of No More Heroes about who he would like to see play the role of Travis Touchdown in a live-action adaptation.
Actually Ryan Gosling makes a ton of sense.
Edit: If this can be done in a Scott Pilgrim movie kind of way that would be dope.
MY.GAMES new Warface: Clutch 'Secret Lab' season has arrived, takes the action to North Africa whilst adding a new map, weapons and more.
I had been wondering and asking about this very point. There's a significant difference in HDMI 1.2 vs. 1.3. MS continues to stay in the present and not build anything for the future. (Dvd, 20gb, 120gb,...) With a company that has as much rseources as MS I would assume that at some point they would take a chance for gamers benefit but they refuse to do so.
You might wonder why 1.3 or 1.2 is such a big deal. Most HDTV haven't purchased their new HDTV yet. Let's just say that the early adopters have (me). There is a significant jump in the bandwith from 1.2 to 1.3. Much better sound and billions of colors. (google HDMI 1.3) It's not used in most devices right now. Most will say that is the reason MS isn't using it yet. Sure, they'll make a new Xbox 3 years from now (Next year) that has 1.3 and you have "the choice" of buying it for that feature. Or...you can buy a PS3 now and when tvs, receivers and blu-ray's are pushing that feature you'll arleady be set.
Sony has done a lot of stupid stuff surrounding the PS3 but they went out on a limb for the PS3 to bring, whoever payed the $600 beans, the most for their money. They didn't give you a cheap dvd drive like the PS2 had or even "play it safe" like MS is doing.
I'm sure fanboys will rush in and say they don't need all that stuff. They're probably right, they don't. For those who do, might, will in the future, it's already in the PS3 so your cost over the life of the systems is lessened. The essential meaning of future-proof. Be like the ants and less like the grasshopper. (Or be like me and buy both :))
Many say the 360 is great for TODAY. I agree. I play mine often. My PS3 though is great for TODAY and better yet, great for TOMORROW.
No fanboy here but I am an educated consumer. It's not that MS can't make a better product, they "choose" not to for profit. IMO, that's not good for gamers in the long run. Read this month's article in Game Informer about how MS could be offering some free online content that the developers want but MS is trying to condition it's audience to pay for everything...
Do like Gears though! Fun game.
An optical cable and you can have both HDMI and optical hooked up at one time. Nice dumb question.
The stock wires that comes with the Xbox 360 include component, composite, and optical output. Why did Microsoft choose HDMI 1.2? Well thats a question for them but all I said was that it has Optical.
There is no technical or cost reason for not going HDMI 1.3. MS just dropped the ball on the Elite version. They can get it right all the time.
No built in Wi-Fi, HD DVD, or HDMI 1.3 = No Elite for me
Praise Sony for putting HDMI 1.3 on their system...that almost no one use.
Question Sony for not allowing PC Connectivity (most modern electronics do) and having the worst Online Service (the future of gaming).
Question the NEED for HDMI in the first place-before you question why MS hasn't put it on the system until now.
