New device adds HDMI to 1st generation Xbox 360s

A video showcasing how to install a retail device that adds HDMI functionality to 1st generation Xbox 360s.

SuperSaiyan46032d ago

Its missing the option called 'REFERENCE LEVELS' which you can ONLY get on HDMI enabled Xbox 360's, the HDMI 360's have a digital upscaler called HANA.

Its very important to have the reference levels option because you could have a washed out look like VGA usually has, what this option does is give you 3 options to increase the colours and look:

Standard
Intermediate
Expanded

Expanded is the best option for the best colours.

ThaGeNeCySt6032d ago

Those options can also be used with the VGA cables... I still think this is a foolish item though

ReBurn6032d ago

Good or not, it still looks like it works. Not that I would ever use it.

Bloodmask6032d ago (Edited 6032d ago )

for people who have bought HDTVs that are HDMI compatible and have older 1st generation 360s. Now they won't have to purchase another 360 to use the HDMI input.

socomnick6032d ago

Don't need this I'm getting 1080p through my component cables. Samsungs tvs = best hdtv's

bym051d6032d ago

People with Pioneer Elites or Diamond Series Mitsubishis would probably disagree.

Mikey_Gee6032d ago (Edited 6032d ago )

61" and it is AWSOME.

Component and VGA accepts 1080p.

Many TV's will only allow it over the HDMI port do to HDCP restriction.

Don't know what HDCP is ?? It is THE MAN trying to limit what the electonics we buy can/can not do.

HDCP - HIGH-BANDWIDTH DIGITAL CONTENT PROTECTION

As for the Pioneer Elite ... nice tv..... and WAY MORE expensive.

bym051d6032d ago

Never said it wasn't more expensive. Just responding to his idea the Samsungs are the best. There's better, maybe it's just too expensive.

Mikey_Gee6032d ago (Edited 6032d ago )

Regardless if Sammy is the best or not, the Samsung 1080p DLP's are fantastic TV's. Everybody has a personal take on what set is best so to declair one or the other THE BEST is kind of pointless.

I had a 58" Panny Plasma but returned it after seeing Image Retention after short time gaming. NOT burn in, image retention (even after the 200 hour break in I did on it) but even the image retention was enough to make me NOT enjoy it. So back it went ..

AngryTypingGuy6032d ago

Yeah I was very happy to see that my new Samsung LCD accepts 1080P with the component cables. It looks sweet!

Bleem3606031d ago

Samsung LCD's are the best HD sets around (especially the LE32R41 series). Trust me, I shopped around for about 6 months and tried out at least 20 different sets before deciding.

Thats not gonna do it, you can get 1080i w/o that jerry-rig. Yes it makes it hook up through hdmi but your not getting the most out of hdmi like this. Thats no different than getting a converter that lets you hook up component cables to a regular rf jack that most motel crap tv's have.I had to use one once since it didnt have any inputs for my 360 and the picture looked nothing as it did on a component based tv.If you want real hdmi,get a 360 with hdmi on the board.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC6h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer7h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6026h ago(Edited 6h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya4h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde4h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx4h ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro12h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B9h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21839h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh9h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia9h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins9h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal9h ago

The first game was the best imo.
