According to a bunch of very angry people over on the AV Science form, and one Kotaku reader, the 1080p upgrade for the Xbox 360 doesn't appear to work on Sony's XBR2/XBR3 line of televisions. This is a big deal because the folks there claim it's considered to be one of the best 1080p televisions on the market.
News of the issue, which means you can't display a 1080p image on the television at all, has lead some to start wondering if this was a deliberate move on Microsoft's part, being that the television is made by Sony or if someone dropped the ball and a patch is coming for the 360.
Has anyone else had any issues with 1080p on the 360?
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
XBR TVs have been around for a long time (have one in the house), so this just sounds wierd. I thought it didn't matter what brand you used, but if it's true MS has some explaining to do.
Depends how they tested.
I've heard other stories by now that 1080p over component has some problems on several TV's.
VGA cable used will solve that problem. Same with this TV?
I called the Best Buy repair since I had an extended warrenty and he couldn't figure out the problem. After 3 weeks it turns out that my Sony Wega Trinitron 34" (don't remember the model) had difficulty displaying 1080i. All my games worked fine when I switched my 360 to 720p. Anyway, following a flowchart, the repairman was able to get my TV working correctly. I know that my tv isn't 1080p and I don't have to worry about that problem, the point is, in my circumstance, the Sony TV was the problem. A 1080p signal is a 1080p signal. I don't think it's possible to output a signal which only works with certain brands of TVs.
They are able to display a 1080p signal from a PC using VGA on the XBR2/XBR3 which is at 60hz. So it looks like this has more to do with the signal coming from the 360 then the TV not functioning properly.
Sony make some of the best HDTV's,too not make your 1080P a standard upgrade does not make sense,1080P is a standard followed by many brand not just Sony.
