Xbox 360 Video Comparison

GameSpot Hardware writes "GameSpot has compiled a detailed evaluation of what to expect from the upcoming Xbox 360 based on the type of cabling that you are forced to use. The article shows multiple image overlays to show the quality difference created when you take the unit down from its high definition origins." From the article: "In the name of gaming science, we went out and purchased an RF modulator just to see how our 360 looks using the connection. Unsurprisingly, the RF cable offered the worst image quality of all the cable types we tested. Even with our Canon S400, the colors appeared noticeably more faded, akin to a '70s-esque sepia effect. That might look OK if you're taking shots of your friends discoing out to Saturday Night Fever, but it doesn't fly while playing Xbox 360 games."

    And that makes up about what 30 people who will buy one? Honestly, the real image most will see is akin to the kiosks in Walmart/Best Buy... and it ain't all that perty.

    Actually it is you my friend who is qute mistaken. COMPOSITE is the red/yellow/white cable, that is the LOWEST quality next to RF which is what most TV's have and what the 360 ships with AS I STATED.

    COMPONENT VIDEO, is the RGB which is the second to HIGHEST form of video quality.

    My statement stands and is 100% correct, you, sir, need reading and comprehension FTW!!!1!!
