Xbox 360 Plans Move Forward

Posted by Zonk on from the we-released-a-console-remember? dept.

Despite the wait for big-name game releases, the folks at Microsoft haven't been sitting still now that the 360 is (more or less) on store shelves. IGN reports that plans are still moving forward for more backwards compatible titles, despite rumours to the contrary. No dates or titles to expect were released, though. Additionally, a launch in India is just a matter of time, according to a Gamasutra report. They consider the Indian market very important ... they just don't have a date in mind yet. The 360 is slated to launch in Korea on February 24th, and Australia, Taiwan and Singapore on March 2nd.

    My friend did that. Got his 360 played it on a standard definition TV then got an HDTV. He IM'd me and started raving about how awesome it was. I went over and I took one look at the screen. I immediately noticed jagged edges and not-so stellar clarity. I grabbed the controller, went to the dashboard, and changed the resolution to 720p. He'd been running at the standard 480i resolution. Freakin' idiot. That makes me wonder, how many other XBOX360 owners haven't even enabled HD resolutions on their HDTV and are just fooling themselves into thinking the image is 'so much better'??
