AlphaPrime Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Is there a way i can hook up the xbox360 , and my ps2 to a crt monitor? and will it look better? 586815670[/snapback] Your Xbox 360? Yes, get the VGA HD cable for US$40. It will look much better than a standard TV set. Your PS2? Yes, but it's not as simple and will probably end up looking worse than it does on your TV. You would need a capture card/TV Tuner or a device that converts composite/component to D-SUB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detroit Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 What are you gonna do?! It's not like you can upconvert 480 to 1080... There are just somethings that must be done to achieve such a quality wow; this is also a good way to move the dinosaurs to hdtv since 2006 is suppose to be THE YEAR OF CHANGE... I can understand people who don't have a bundle of money but seriously, Microsoft isn't apple here... They can't re-invent the world... Also, this is why ps3 isn't being released right now... people would be furious how 'bad' it would look on their 'normal' tv's... They are waiting until majority have access to hdtv displays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danverg Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Xbox 360 sounds good and all but in the long run PS3 and its 2 processors and 2 graphics cards will outwit Xbox, I feel. Nonetheless, Xbox 360 has a smooth look, and its stats are going to keep it in the competition for the best console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udontneed2know Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Yup, no reason to buy a 360 for me anymore. I dang sure am not spending an extra 1,000$ right now on an HDTV just to see the games as they were meant to be seen. I find it pretty pathetic that you only can experience true next-gen quality graphics only if you own an HDTV. May as well upgrade my PC for the amount of money it'll take to get " next - gen " with the 360. 1,000$+ for the TV, 400$ for the console, 50-60$ per game, 40$+ for Live. I mean come on, thats just pathetic. And after all the dissapointing reviews so far, Ill wait for the PS3 and enjoy Guitar Hero, FFXII, Dragon Quest VIII, Soul Calibur III, God of War, Rogue Galaxy, Black and all the other titles coming out and already out for the PS2. Bleh, what a ripoff the 360 will be. And alienating 25% of their userbase? Hell only 10% of the entire world right now owns an HDTV of some kind.

HDTV offers much higher resolution, and SDTVs simply can't display it. There's no way to make something awesome on an HDTV, and just as awesome on an SDTV.Did you just find out now that the 360 was designed to be used with an HDTV? You should have done your homework, this has been known since the beginning. You sound like a Sony fanboy who was never going to get the 360, just taking this opportunity to bash it for having the exact same "problem" that the PS3 will have.

I dang sure am not spending an extra 1,000$ right now on an HDTV just to see the games as they were meant to be seen. I find it pretty pathetic that you only can experience true next-gen quality graphics only if you own an HDTV. Read the replies, like it's been stated, the whole HDTV thing is blown out of proportion. Of course the games are still going to look better, but the resolution's obviously going to be a lot lower. This isn't MS's fault, there's no way around it...which is why we're moving over to HDTVs. Xbox 360 sounds good and all but in the long run PS3 and its 2 processors and 2 graphics cards will outwit Xbox, I feel. The PS3 doesn't have 2 processors or 2 graphics cards...

Did you forget the Xbox 360 is 3 processor cores on one die... I mean since your just baselessly comparing numbers and all that means the Xbox 360 wins correct?

You should have done your homework, this has been known since the beginning. You sound like a Sony fanboy who was never going to get the 360, just taking this opportunity to bash it for having the exact same "problem" that the PS3 will have. Designed to work with an HDTV?? LMAO. Ok dude, keep telling yourself that if it makes you sleep better at night. You don't design your system around something only about 2% of your total audience is going to have equipped in their home. Games should be built with standard televisions in mind and then upgraded visually in the higher resolutions, but nah Microsoft has to be complete morons and build all games natively for 720p and then scaled downward from there on. Thats just stupid. I WAS actually going to get a 360, but not anymore. I'll just go to my cousins and play the only game that looks like it'll be worth the 60$ pricetag at launch so far, being CoD2. Some of us in this world don't have a rich mommy and daddy with their own HDTV that I can play the 360 off of just to get the games to look like what they should anyway. Have you seen any 360 games running on a pretty standard TV? The aliasing is worse then most PS2 launch games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
