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."

I am trying to figure out how much M$ is paying slashdot to advertise xbox 360. This is like the 20th xbox article posted in a week. The sad truth is that less than 5% of us will actually own one at launch date. It's all for nothing.

Re:I don't understand the HDTV hype

HDTV Will:

• Make good movies better
• Make good videogames better.
• Make bad TV shows better.

Why are you so focused on what it will do to bad content, instead of good content?

But hey, if you really don't care about graphics then do you watch TV on the cheapest TV you could buy? Or better yet a black and white TV left over from decades gone by? Do you still watch nothing but VHS tapes and listen only to casette tapes?
