Xbox 360 to get 1080p Support

A press release from start of TGS states that a software update this year will enable 1080p output on your Xbox 360!

You will finally be able to experience all 60 frames per second of visuals that your 1080p HDTV can provide. Unfortunately there has been no HDMI cable yet announced so this is only over component and VGA. Even better, users can expect 1080p upscaling immediately on current games and DVDs while native 1080p on compatible HD DVD titles.

Looks like one of Sony's major playing cards on the PS3 has just gone right out the window. promoted forum item Edit by trog: official press release.

it is supported by some TVs, not many though. especially not many that are out yet. from what i've read, HDMI is getting pimped so hard because A) its digital so its better looking than component (but no better than DVI) and B) it supports the stupid DRM stuff which means if you arent using HDMI cables then it'll come through at 480p (this is the main part. you NEED to use hdmi or it cant get the security token or something like that).

not many hd dvds have the DRM at the moment (cant remember what its called at the moment, HDCP or something), but they will soon, at which point i expect microsoft will HAVE to release an hdmi option!

thats when i swoop in and grab the hdmi option just for gaming, because id rather play games over hdmi and hd dvd doesnt interest me. maybe some day...

ms hasn't anounced that. they specifically said its not coming through.

ive heard good things in the difference between digital (dvi, hdmi) and analogue (component, vga) connections. digital is pixel perfect, a lot less "fuzzy".

by the way, VGA can do 1080p with HDCP support too, which most LCD tvs have (VGA support i mean).

but its not as good as hdmi.. apparently... i dont really know to be honest. if vga can do it, dvi should be able to too. most top end TVs have dvi, dont they?
