Sounds like BS to me.

The black 360's are DEV units are they not?

Yeah thats what i thought

FrankJH · 7 Feb 2007 at 17:42

Exactly - why Australia and $560 US dollars (i believe its $1 Aus = 75 US Cents)

Seems very steep to me but you never know.

Has anybody found the pictures apparently roaming around yet?

If this is true then it works out at a bargain price! Just under £300.

Never convert other countries pricing to ours. We live in rip-off Britain remember.

Microsoft arnt usually too bad, HD-DVD Drive was £129.99 and $200 in US thats about £105?

I initially thought around the £400 mark compared to $560 us dollars maybe £350 - but whats the point in hdmi if the console only does 720p anyway - most hdmi enabled tv's have componant anyway and more have componant and no hdmi (admittedly this is changing fast - but consideration of all potential customers never hurt)

I hope this is true, I am fed up of not knowing what MS are up to and I badly want a 360

Was only patched recently to 1080p

what a load of b.........

FrankJH · 8 Feb 2007 at 07:57

I believe that everything on the x360 is output at 720p (this is what everyone on here was saying at launch anyway but could be wrong)

As every hdtv seems to have a componant connection, there seems little point in making the hdmi version without increasing the output to 1080p (which potentially needs a lot more cpu power) not to mention the fact that very few tv's at the moment have more than one hdmi slot (this is getting better though)

(1080i is usualy available when 720p is -apart from old TV's sold in the US reports seem to indicate , 1080i is a lot less stress to produce than 1080p)

skysnapper · 8 Feb 2007 at 09:16

Only a couple of tv's can output 1080p via vga, all the new tvs on the market can do it via HDMI. I have not bought a 360 due to this and await a revision, my tv can only output it via HDMI 1080p.

Incorrect. PGR3 is rendered at a lower resolution and afew games are natively rendered at 1080p. When set to 1080p/i the dashboard etc are all rendered at native 1080.
