Joystiq Poll: Pick your next-gen movie preference {Joystiq}
Sep 20th 2006 4:11AM This isn't a poll on the Next Gen Movie platforms, this is a fanboy counter basically. A site like this will not have the input of enough informed Home Theatre enthusiasts to get a proper read from people who know what they are talking about.
Oh, and Blu-Ray, even though I very much doubt I will ever be getting a PS3.
Xbox 360 adds 1080p, HD DVD drive is $170 US for November 22nd in Japan {Engadget}
Sep 20th 2006 3:48AM Can someone find me a TV which accepts 1080p over component?? And 1080p only really effects people with a full HD set (which here in Australia is about 5 people ATM :)). A 1080p TV would upscale a 720p input to the native 1080p anyway, so whats the difference here? Better smoothing of textures? This sounds just like a bullet point that MS wants but will not have a large impact in terms of developers or even features that most consumers want.
TGS: Xbox 360 to add 1080p support, PS3 to lose bullet point {Joystiq}
Sep 20th 2006 3:33AM OK so 1080p output from the console is only useful if you have a 1920*1080 screen anyway. But if you input 720p or 1080i to the screen it has to upscale to native 1080p anyway. Useless anyone???
High-end PS3 shipping without HDMI cable {Joystiq}
Sep 3rd 2006 11:54PM It's not a big deal, 1080p will go over the component cables anyway. It will only be an issue if the Blu-Ray publishers decide to implement the ICP tag on their movies, which they haven't yet and have agreed not to until 2012 I believe. So why should Sony include a cable that only 25% of the user base will utilise out of the box (at least this year anyway). Microsoft never included the component cable pack with the original Xbox, and was that an issue???
