Obviously all the screenies I have seen are HD ... so what difference is there between the HD and regular output ?

I assume HD images are higer res, whats the res for HD and the res used for normal ? what about AA ... is that on both ?

Finally, is the HD output able to go into an analogue component input, or only digital ?
 
Just found the sticky :o

Ok .. reason I asked, is I am looking at getting a new TV, and have seen one I like at the right price, but is a non HD Plasma, it has inputs for composite, which reading one of the links in the FAQ looks to be how the 360 outputs HD .... presumably the plasma screen would rescale the image as it can't do the 720 ?

Just wondering if I should only consider a HD TV.
 
Err yep I think I meant component :o

The Plasma I am considering is the Panasonic TH37PE50B.
Was looking at a Hitatchi 32" HD LCD, but the bigger screen is swaying me :p

I can't recal though, if it wasn't a good idea to play video games on plasma ?

Sagalout, does it use AA through SD ? I do hate jaggies ;)

Sounds a plus for that Panny Plasma then :)

Now the hard bit .... finding someone locally or online with premiums in stock, got a week until I get the money, so hopefully there will be some about by then (sarcasm) :(

Yes, I see your point on HD ... but I look at it this way ...
I will not be subscribing to rip-off-central ... err I mean Sky :p
My current box is on its last legs, and I am switching to freeview and the top up .. saving £12 a month on my current package :)
My DVD player and recorder are not HD, and I have no plans to replace them.
And finally ... pyschologiocal, I have a 32" CRT now .. so I want to go larger as well as better quality, that way I can see were my money went ;)
But, if I came a cross a good quality HD 36" + set for the same price I would be re-considering ;)

But we have drifted a bit here ...

Where are you mate? There are quite a few shops in London and Southampton that have everything in stock now ( even though you may have to get a core + hdd+ componant cables rather than premium) but the cost shouldnt be that much different

Cambridge area.
The reason I wanted Premium was because the HDD seem so hard to get seperatly, and I want wireless controllers, and the headset. (and the HD cable connection) ;)

Buying those seperatley would come to a decent amount more than than the £60 extra over the coere package I think ?
